Perkins : Mr. Logan, you want the lad to stay here, and so do I. He's never wanted anything more than this in his whole life. But she'll never understand unless I handle this.
Col. Logan : But I thought that...

Col. Logan : You?

Col. Logan : Marty, every year I pick a new boy to demonstrate things for us at the first lesson, and this year, you're it, so climb right up there on him.
Marty Markham : I - I can't.
Col. Logan : What?
Marty Markham : I just learned those words.
Col. Logan : Oh, come on. Get up there in the saddle and show us something.
Joe : Hey, he's scared!
Alfred "Al" McGrath : How do you like that? Scared of a horse!
Marty Markham : What if I am? I just haven't learned how to do it yet, that's all. I didn't mean to lie. I just didn't want the other guys to think I was...
Col. Logan : Marty, I'm sorry.

Col. Logan : What's the matter with him?
Bill Burnett : He's scared of horses.
Col. Logan : I didn't know that.

Col. Logan : Burnett, I thought you had better sense. I bring you out here to run the place for me, and look what happens.
Bill Burnett : I didn't tell him he could go out alone. And don't blame Ollie, either. He was just anxious to help Marty, that's all.
Col. Logan : Sorry, Bill, I guess I'm just a cantankerous old worrier.
-
Ollie : Is he hurt, Bill?
Bill Burnett : Looks like he's got a broken arm. He better get him back to the ranch.
Col. Logan : I'll ride ahead and get the doc.

Spin Evans : Is he gonna be okay, Doc?
Dr. Spaulding : Sure, Evans, a fine future doctor you turned out to be. Don't you know you're supposed to stop these things before they happen?
Col. Logan : What do you think I should tell his grandmother?
Dr. Spaulding : If I was in your place, I wouldn't tell her anything until I've gotten a chance to look at those X-rays. Might as well give her the whole story at once.
Perkins : Yes, sir, when we return from town this evening, I'll give you all the details.
Col. Logan : All right, Perkins. Oh, Doc, Burnett's gonna follow you in the truck. Be all right if they bring Marty back tonight, won't it?
Dr. Spaulding : Of course. Broken bones don't mean anything to kids. They just scare old folks like us.

Col. Logan : Spin, what are you doing here?
Spin Evans : Well, I got a letter today, sir. It's definite I can't come back to the Triple R next year.
Col. Logan : Next year's a long time off. We'll worry about it then.
Spin Evans : That isn't why I'm here. I was just wondering what it must be like to be Marty right now, waiting for a phone call, waiting for his family to tell him that he has to leave the Triple R tonight and maybe never come back.
Col. Logan : Well, that we don't know yet, boy.

Joe : Hey, did you hear the news? We're goin' to a new place on the pack trip!
Ambitious : Yeah, the rain washed out something, so we're goin' to a place called Haunted Valley.
Marty Markham : Where?
