Robert Bray: Simon Kane

Quotes 

• Simon Kane : Anything I can do for ya?

  Pierce Martin : Now why would you want to do anything for *me*.

  Simon Kane : Oh, no reason. I can see you been travelin'. Thought you might to fill your canteen... might want to feed your horse. That's all.

  Pierce Martin : Sorry. When a man rides with a bounty on his saddle for so long, you get out of the habit of trustin' people.

  Simon Kane : I can see that.

  Pierce Martin : No, Mister, you can't. Nooo.

• Simon Kane : During the war, I was pinned down in a swamp with a whole bunch of Johnny Rebs beatin' the bush for me. I don't mind tellin' you I was scared. As a matter of fact, I'd never been that scared before in my whole life. So maybe I don't think that much of puttin' another man through that much scarin' - even a man like Red Martin.

• [last lines] 

  Jim Hallett : I understand you've been doing some *talking* around town.

  Simon Kane : A word here and there - nothing more.

  Jim Hallett : Well, whatever it is, I want to thank you. You helped me get my church back again.

  Simon Kane : It's an even trade.

  Jim Hallett : An even trade?

  Simon Kane : Well, a man who's been through what you have and come out ahead, drawing on a far greater strength than his own, I never saw this in a man before I saw it in you. Let's say you've given me and a lot of the other people in this town a new look at God and let it go at that.
