The Naked Spur

Ben Vandergroat:
Choosin' a way to die? What's the difference? Choosin' a way to live - that's the hard part.

Ben Vandergroat:
Now ain't that the way? A man gets set for trouble head-on and it sneaks up behind him every time!

Roy Anderson:
That's life.

Ben Vandergroat:
They're men, honey, and you ain't. Remember that.

Howard Kemp:
You sat up with me?

Lina Patch:
Yeah.

Howard Kemp:
Why?

Lina Patch:
Somebody had to. You was raving so. No one could sleep.

Howard Kemp:
Why should you care?

Lina Patch:
I don't. I'd done it for a dog if he was sufferin'.

Howard Kemp:
Thank you.

Lina Patch:
You're welcome.

Ben Vandergroat:
Here you are. Breakfast in bed.

Howard Kemp:
What's this?

Jesse Tate:
You better eat it *before* we tell you.

Jesse Tate:
[Betrayed by Ben] I deserve it. Do business with the Devil and you get it every time.

Jesse Tate:
[Expressing initial reluctance to accompany Kemp] Trail's as plain to you as it is to me!

Roy Anderson:
[Observing how hard it will be to get Vandergroat off the mountain] Looks like you got a real interestin' problem in logistics.

Ben Vandergroat:
Money splits better two ways than it does with three.

Ben Vandergroat:
Nuthin' like a good woman to stir the pot!

Jesse Tate:
Nuthin' like a good woman!

Jesse Tate:
Guess you got the years to know better than any of us, Jesse. Did you ever marry one of 'em?

Jesse Tate:
Never had to with my good looks! [Laughter]

Jesse Tate:
[Referring to Vandergroat] He's not a man; he's a sack of money!
