Quotes 

• Wishbone : Listen here, mister, if there's one thing I do know it's accents. I got an ear like a tuning fork. So, when I say Maryland, I mean, Maryland.

• Wishbone : Trouble! That is the cussedest man I ever run into. Tight-mouthed, ornery. And you know what he calls that knot-headed miserable Texan cows? BEAUTIFUL! Beautiful! And that ain't the worst of it. He's got Mushy over there posing for him, like a gunslinger, makes you wanna gag.

• Wishbone : He's voodoo. He causes trouble like steers draw flies.

• Wishbone : Rowdy, take a look back. Tell me what you see.

  Rowdy Yates : The painting.

  Wishbone : They'll still be after it and Mushy's got it.

• Jim Quince : Hard man to figure.

  Mushy : Sure like to know what he's covering up.

  Wishbone : Oh, you would, would you?

  Mushy : Yes, I would.

  Rowdy Yates : Where'd you get the letters?

  Wishbone : He dropped them. "Dear Charlie, I enclose a picture of Susan taken last week on her birthday

  [she was one or two] 

  Wishbone : . She's a bright girl and becoming very pretty. She's asking why her Daddy never comes to see her. We tell her he's on a long trip. She wants you, Charlie. She needs you. But of course you know best. I still take flowers to Tallies' grave."

  Joe Scarlet : Well, don't stop now. Read the rest.

• Marshal Coogan : Most of the men on your crew are from the South I take it.

  Wishbone : Some are. Why?

  Marshal Coogan : I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet and offered assistance.

  Wishbone : The men are hired on as trail drovers, not jailbreakers.

  Marshal Coogan : Suppose you let your men decide. Suppose you don't want to see Tom Sinclair strung up like a horse thief.
