Quotes 

• Fat Jones : [In the bunkhouse: Steve is moving in]  Say, friend... You don't just happen to have one of them new mail order catalogues?

  Steve Miller : No, I ain't.

  Fat Jones : Feller told me they had pictures in them this year - women in corsets.

  Wrangler in bunkhouse : Fats, you got a dirty mind. That's why you'll never amount to nothin'.

  Fat Jones : I ain't seen a woman - outside 'o Jocasta - in eight months. And you ain't gettin' no prettier.

  [Other wrangler gives him the finger] 

• Jocasta Constantine : [Offering to loan Steve ten dollars]  I'd lend you more, if you would use the money to go back home.

  Steve Miller : Go home? Why?

  Jocasta Constantine : Steve, we've only talked a few times since you came here. But I know this about you. You are gentle. You haven't been used, and made hard. This is not your kind of life. Look at the men in the bunkhouse: Baldy, and Fat Jones, and Abe. Never a chance for a family, or a home. In ten years, you're gonna' be like them - a "nobody" on a horse. That's what a wrangler is: a "nobody" on a horse. With bad teeth, broken bones, double hernia, and lice!

• Steve Miller : [Upset at Mr. Rodock after witnessing Rodock's hanging of a horse thief - an impromptu "frontier justice" hanging, done without benefit of a formal trial]  Maybe I ain't hard, maybe that's why. But Mr. Rodock, you didn't have to hang him.
