Tom Tully: Tom Starett

Quotes 

• Marian Starett : [Alarmed that Shane left in pursuit of the Indian thief]  Tom, it's just a dress!

  Tom Starett : Nope. No, honey, it's not just a dress any more than Shane is just a hired man.

• Tom Starett : [Looking at the rabbit Joey pulled from a trap]  I'll admit he's cute and all that.

  Joey Starett : I named him.

  Tom Starett : You did?

  Joey Starett : I named him Leslie on account of us not knowing whether he's a boy or girl. That works for both.

  Tom Starett : Yeah. Well, y'know, it's not right to keep a wild thing for a pet.

  Joey Starett : But it's all right to eat him, huh?...

  Tom Starett : [Exasperated]  Let him go, Joey.

• Shane : I was the one that talked all of you into coming out here. I thought it was something you wouldn't do by yourselves. I guess it was my way of sayin' thank you.

  Tom Starett : Wasn't your fault, Shane. We've all made the same mistake.

  Shane : Yeah. Only I made it bigger.

• Joey Starett : We goin' home?

  Tom Starett : About the only place left to go, isn't it?
