Denver and Rio Grande

Jim Vesser:
We've been surveying this route for three weeks!

McCabe:
And so have we.

Bob Nelson:
Don't get hot-headed Jim. Looks like it's for the courts to decide.

Jim Vesser:
There's nothing in my orders that says I have to wait for any courts to make up their minds. We're going through.

Bob Nelson:
Not along our stakes.

Jim Vesser:
We'll throw them in the river.

McCabe:
You throw one stake in the river and I'll throw you in right after it.

Linda Nelson alias Linda Prescott:
I saw him shoot those two men. Isn't that enough without torturing this one?

Jim Vesser:
And I suppose they weren't trying to do anything except kill me.

Linda Nelson alias Linda Prescott:
People like Vesser consider themselves above the law. If he didn't lose his nerve then it's his conscience that bothers him.

Gen. William J. Palmer:
Well, Linda, I say it's a good idea for Captain Vesser to keep out of your way.

Linda Nelson alias Linda Prescott:
I'd like to meet him.

Jane Dwyer:
You've been drinking!

Engineer Moynihan:
Not a drop, so help me.

Jim Vesser:
Who put you up to this?

CC&SJ Man:
Nobody put us up to anything.

Jim Vesser:
Well, you're fired!

CC&SJ Man:
Who are you to fire me? You didn't hire me!

Gil Harkness:
No but I did... and you're fired.

Engineer Moynihan:
Get firing!

Linda Nelson alias Linda Prescott:
That flatcar's coming.

Jim Vesser:
Don't worry, that wall will hold it.

Linda Nelson alias Linda Prescott:
It's loaded with dynamite.

Jim Vesser:
Everybody run!

Sheriff Ed Johnson:
Captain Vesser, you got to be taught a lesson. You got to learn that to fight in a war at peace time is the business of peace officers, not private citizens. We have law in this country, and if a man breaks the law against you, you're just as guilty as him if you break the law trying to get back at him.
