- [comparing their troubles to those of Job in the Old Testament]
- Lucas McCain: Mark, Job was as miserable as a man could be... but he knew he'd been good and righteous... and he'd not lost faith with the Lord... The Lord was so proud of Job that he restored all the old man's children, and his house and his camels and sheep and gave him over twice as many cattle as before and Job lived over one hundred and forty years as happy as a birddog.
- Lucas McCain: Well tell him to shoot! If you've got guts enough! You better do it Jackford or I'll be waitin' out in the brush every time you step out the door! I'll kill your stock and I'll burn your barn! I'm gonna pay you back Mr. Jackford! Now what's it gonna be?
- Oat Jackford: You got yourself a ranch, McCain. Whether you keep it or not is something else. You step out of line or you make one mistake and you'll be finished. I'll be watchin' and waitin' - waitin' for a reason to come after you with a gun and when I do, I won't be alone. Remember that, Mr. McCain.

- Mark McCain: Pa, it's just not fair! We ride half way across the country looking for the right place and when we finally get it - well, look what happens! Looks to me like the Lord's dead set against us havin' our own place!
- Lucas McCain: You can't by it for money, marbles or chalk Mr. Jackford! You're gonna keep your stock, your men, and your dogs off my property until I tell you different.
- Oat Jackford: And if I don't?
- Lucas McCain: I'll bury 'em there!

- Sam Montgomery: Some pilgrim thinks he's found a home.
- Billy Lehi: Well now, don't you think it was time that we showed him the error of his ways?
- [last lines]
- Lucas McCain: They're going to help us rebuild, son.
- Mark McCain: Good. Like some coffee?
- Lucas McCain: Say, I think maybe I would.
- Mark McCain: I got a fresh pot going for when you got back.
- Lucas McCain: Well, hop aboard.
