- Jenny Phillips: And the money was used for for supplies and expenses. There was none left to buy my husband with too.
- Nancy Styles: Well, do you expect me to beg for a place to sleep, beg for food? I can't live without money, can I?
- Jenny Phillips: A Jezebel like you can.
- Christopher Hale: You can sleep in the supply wagon there and you can take your meals with us.
- Nancy Styles: You'll pay for this stupidity.
- Christopher Hale: Oh, yes. And, ah, speaking of paying, with no money, you'll be expected to do your share of the workload in exchange for your passage.
- Nancy Styles: I WILL NOT!
- Christopher Hale: It was a rule that Frank Styles made himself.
- Nancy Styles: I WILL NOT WORK!
- Christopher Hale: We'll see.
- Barnaby West: It wouldn't hurt to do that one little thing, would it?
- Bill Hawks: Yes, it would.
- Nancy Styles: So that's the way it's going to be.
- Bill Hawks: Yes, young lady. That's the way it's going to be. We take orders from Chris Hale and we're not about to take any from you.
- Christopher Hale: I don't care if she's the Royal Crown Princess of England. I would not let Frank Styles himself talk to me the way she did.
- Christopher Hale: Well, Barney, all I'm trying to do is make sure she's worthy of your affection, that's all.
- Barnaby West: No, it isn't all. You're doing everything you can to make her look bad. Well, it isn't going to work. We're going to get married anyway.
- Christopher Hale: No, you're not Not now.
- Christopher Hale: What right have you got to stop me? You're not my father.
- Christopher Hale: I'm responsible for you.
- Barnaby West: Not any more you're not. Not any more.
- Bill Hawks: Looks like Barney didn't take my advice. Guess he figures she's changed.
- Christopher Hale: Is that the way you figure?
- Bill Hawks: Nope. The switch was too quick.
- Christopher Hale: Yup. I'm afraid there's a selfish reason behind every thing that young lady does.
- Christopher Hale: You think I'm a tyrant too?
- Barnaby West: It doesn't seem to be bothering any of you that she hasn't had one single thing to eat all day.
- Christopher Hale: She hasn't done anything to earn it either.
- Barnaby West: Well, she's just a girl, Mr Chris.
- Christopher Hale: Is there any reason I should take orders from her?
- Barnaby West: There must be some other way to handle her. It's cruel to starve her like this.
- Christopher Hale: I'd say she was starving herself, wouldn't you?
- Barnaby West: I've done a lot of things I don't understand. I defied him. Run away. Now I even made him think I was dead,
- Christopher Hale: Barney knew enough about this stuff not to ride into something like that.
- Bill Hawks: I know how you feel., Chris. He was just like a son to me too.
- Christopher Hale: My son was just about Barney's age when he killed. I was 200 miles away when my family was massacred. I couldn't have prevented that. But, Barney, I could have stopped him.
- Bill Hawks: No, you couldn't. You tell him Nancy was using him as a quick way to get her to Denver? You did all you could. You want to blame somebody, blame that selfish, little female BRAT.
- Phineas: Never close your eyes to progress, Homer. Now, I do believe, if we succeed in this venture, we will have established a first in our profession. Imagine, ransom by telegraph.
- Phineas: St Joseph?
- Barnaby West: They're playing tricks on us.
- Barnaby West: No, we're not. you can reach him from Cheyenne. Haven't you heard of the telegraph?
- Homer: How're they're gonna send a big bunch of money down that little biity wire? Now answer me that.
- Nancy Styles: Barney, can you make it look like we rode into the quicksand? Well then , that's it. If they think that we did, then they'll give up the search.
- Barnaby West: Yeah, but they'll probably think we're dead.
- Nancy Styles: Well, that won't make any difference. You'll never see them again anyway.
- Christopher Hale: [Voiceover] From the time the train moved out of St Joseph, Missouri, and sliced off the top corner of Kansas, to beat a long, flat trail across Nebraska, to the fork of the Platt River, and even after we'd swung out along the South Platt route, an had nearly reached the border of Colorado, Nancy kept pretty much to herself.
- Barnaby West: I'll walk you back to your wagon. If that's all right.
- Nancy Styles: Why? Don't you think I can make it there alone either?
- Barnaby West: Well, no. I haven't seen much of you this whole trip.
- Nancy Styles: And you'll be seeing a lot less of me from now on.
- Jenny Phillips: Pau Philips is my husband and this is our wagon. And you, Nancy whatever your name is, are not welcome to either one of them.
- Christopher Hale: Seems to be me she's a little headstrong. I think somebody should keep an eye on her, see that she doesn't do anything foolish. I was kinda hoping I could depend on you to do that. 'Cause if you'd rather not...
- Barnaby West: Oh, no, no, no. I'd be glad to. Well, I mean, anything you say, Mr Chris. Well, after al you are the wagon master. Well, he does give the orders, doesn't he? Well, anyway, I bet she's not a day over eighteen.
- Christopher Hale: You'll think differently in the morning. Brothers and sisters always fight but they always make up.
- Paul Phillips: You want me to leave Jenny and go away with you?
- Nancy Styles: You have a right to find your own happiness, Paul.
- Paul Phillips: Well, that's one thing you're not right about.
- Nancy Styles: The Western Trails Company owns more wagon trains than just this one. I'm afraid you might find it a little more difficult finding work if my father decides to get even with you.
- Phineas: Well, Homer, my boy, fortune has smiled upon us at last. We're footsore travellers who would beg of you a crumb of food for our sadly neglected stomachs.
- Barnaby West: Funny way to beg, with guns.
