Quotes 

• Dorthea Gillford : Good morning, Mr Cheney.

  Link Cheney : I have died and gone to heaven.

  Dorthea Gillford : I'm Dorthea Gillford.

  Link Cheney : Dorthea. What a lovely name for an angel.

• Dorthea Gillford : Very fancy.

  Link Cheney : Oh, it's just show-off dealing. I don't use anything that flashy in the game. It just lets the others know that I'm friendly with these things, and they're just casual acquaintances.

• Dorthea Gillford : If I'm to be a part of our life, that'd mean changes.

  Link Cheney : I know that a man that's married just can't drift. A girl likes to know she has a place that's hers. I can't see myself in a shop. I can't give up my cards.

  Dorthea Gillford : But isn't that what love is, giving up one thing for another?

  Link Cheney : I don't know. All I know is that I have feeling for you that's different. I guess I hadn't pushed it that far thinking that there might have to be a choice.

• Dorthea Gillford : What is gambling?

  Ada Meecham : Gambling? Well, it's, ah.

  Dorthea Gillford : It's having a choice, taking it, and then risking everything on your own judgement.

  Ada Meecham : And losing everything.

• Link Cheney : I've got a reputation. I've built it slow and I've built it careful. And I'm proud of it. I don't envy any man. Now it's come to me, Thea, that since I met you, I might have to make another choice. I'll make it but in my own time. And in my own way.

  Dorthea Gillford : If you really cared about me, you'd think about what I want.

  Link Cheney : I know what you want. And what Euchre wants. And what Mrs Briggs wants. And just about what everybody in the wagon train wants. NOW, I'm going to decide WHAT I WANT!
