Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Boone Gillis : Rain's still coming down wholesale. Think the good Lord is over-stocked. We don't get rain in these parts 'cept once in five years. Then they get us a real goose-drownder like this one, sorta to make up for lost time.

• [last lines] 

  Boone Gillis : You should've left sooner.

  Bart Maverick : Well, if we leave now, we still might get across that creek.

  Boone Gillis : Oh, I wouldn't, if I were you. Most of the mountains back of here empty into that creek and they sure empty fast. Creek wasn't too low to start with. And it's going to get a lot higher fast.

  Gentleman Jack Darby : High card?

  Bart Maverick : High card.

  Gentleman Jack Darby : You deal.
