• Flint McCullough : Charlie!

  Charlie Wooster : Yuh?

  Flint McCullough : You know the Major's a man of fine judgement. He thinks you're too valuable to leave the train.

  Charlie Wooster : [Bill is bursting to laugh out loud]  I guess you're right. But anyways, if he does trade for the fresh horses, how's he gonna get them back here by himself?

  Bill Hawks : Charles, how do you think that rancher he's gonna trade with, will get these tired old horses back to his place?

  Charlie Wooster : Why, he'll send someone alone naturally...

  Bill Hawks : You know, you're getting smarter all the time. You're starting to answer your own questions.

• Flint McCullough : Wait a minute. I'm gonna throw a hoedown tonight. Sort of get the folkes' minds off the fact that they'll not be travelling for a few days. And I thought, maybe, well, I could offer myself as an escort, help you get acquainted.

  Tracy Sadler : Well, I'm sorry. I'll get your money.

• Flint McCullough : Well, if I didn't know better, I'd say that Miss Tracy Sadler had changed her mind.

  Tracy Sadler : Well, am I still welcome? Is it all right?

  Flint McCullough : Only if you'll dance with me.

  Tracy Sadler : Well, then it's all right then, isn't it? Thank you. I just got to thinking maybe you're right. I've joined your train. I should get out and meet some of my neighbours.

  Flint McCullough : There's no time like the present.

• Fletcher Forest : He won't get as homesick travelling as he will sitting.

  Flint McCullough : I see. You know, Mr Forest, I've seen lots of fathers on this train. Some treat their boys like they were workhorses, others don't know they're alive. I think it's nice, well, the regard you and David have for each other.

  Fletcher Forest : Well, thanks for saying that, Flint. Just hope I don't spoil him too much.

  Flint McCullough : I don't think so.

• Flint McCullough : David, love is a difficult thing to handle. You're learning that pretty young.

• Flint McCullough : He's not your Pa. He's your grandfather. You've got to accept that. And once you have, you have to ask yourself why he raised you as his son. He did it to protect you from the fact that you were born in prison. He could have told you about your parents. He could've destroyed the idea of mother to you. But he didn't.

• Tracy Sadler : No one in the world will know how happy I am tonight.

  Flint McCullough : You've been quite a surprise to me.

  Tracy Sadler : What do you mean?

  Flint McCullough : Well, when I met you today, you were distant, I might even say unfriendly. Tonight you've been charming, I might even say radiant. Naturally I'm curious about the change.

  Tracy Sadler : Well, ah, let's just say I'm grateful for your company. Can we leave it at that?

  Flint McCullough : Yes, we can but if you decide tiy want to talk about it some time, I'd like to be the one.

  Tracy Sadler : [She holds out her hand and they shake hands]  Goodnight, Mr McCullough.
