- Luke Macahan: Well when's the stew's gonna be ready to eat, aunt Molly?
- Molly Culhane: Oh, well now a person doesn't eat until he's done his chores. If that's not too subtle a hint, hay to be stored, eh?
- Luke Macahan: Well, I can't do very much on an empty stomach.
- Laura Macahan: You've eaten half a meal already.
- Luke Macahan: Well as soon as I get the other half I'll be rearing to go.
- Molly Culhane: Oh...
- Josh Macahan: [Josh enters, carrying a heavy sack of flour] Well I sure could use some help around here.
- Molly Culhane: Ah good, the flour. Now we can get on with our baking.
- Jessie Macahan: Josh, Luke can't help you right now, he hasn't eaten yet.
- [Laura laughs]
- Molly Culhane: Luke!
- [gestures for him to help his brother]
- Josh Macahan: What's Jessie's talkin' bout?
- Luke Macahan: What women usually talk about: nothing in particular.
- Laura Macahan: Now, now watch it, you're gettin' it all over the place!
- Josh Macahan: Ah, don't worry, Laura, I'll help ya clean it up later.
- Laura Macahan: You'll help me clean it up? You clean it up, you made the mess.
- Luke Macahan: Hey, ain't neither of us cleanin' anything up. It's man's work to make the mess and women's work to clean up after.
- Sheriff Boland: With all the cribs in this town you come to the law lookin' for a woman?
- Zeb Macahan: I'm lookin' for a particular girl, name 'a Teresa Perez.
- Sheriff Boland: Never heard of her.
- Zeb Macahan: This here's a picture of her. Took 'bout six years ago.
- Sheriff Boland: [not taking his eyes off Zeb] Never seen her.
- Zeb Macahan: It might help if you looked at the picture, mister.
- Sheriff Boland: Huh?
- [takes the briefest glance]
- Sheriff Boland: Answer's the same.
- Zeb Macahan: What's your name?
- Sheriff Boland: You got eyes, you can see, you can read it: She-riff-ah!
- Fierro: [to Zeb] Look, I tried to explain to you, you were upsetting my apple cart. Throwing people out of windows, charging into everything like an enraged bull, making the object of my investigation very nervous.
- Zeb Macahan: All I wanna do is get my nephew back and then find out what happened to Teresa. I'll bet you could tell me where she is, right now.
- Fierro: Well, I deceived you once before, so... you're not gonna believe me. But really, I don't know where she can be found or even if she is alive.
