Quotes 

• Rufe Ryker : No, I've been thinking about you people. About the way you're scratchin' to make out here. Barely making it month to month. Not living in a proper home.

  Tom Starett : This home is proper enough for us.

  Rufe Ryker : I don't mean it that way, Starett. It's just that, if we could all learn to do more cooperatin', it would be better.

  Tom Starett : Well, honey, can't you see it's a trick?

  Marian Starett : All I can see is Mr. Ryker is trying to help matters. And you're trying to keep them in the sorry state they're already in.

  Rufe Ryker : Thank you, Mrs. Starett. I appreciate your feelings. I'm glad there's somebody here agrees with me, understands what I'm trying to do.
