Great Day in the Morning

Jumbo Means:
Go back to Georgia, the whole lot of you. Colorado's gonna belong to us loyal Union men - the only part comin' to you is six feet of ground, dug deep.

Owen Pentecost:
Sure, I'm loyal. I've got an undying loyalty to myself and no one else, nothing else.

Col. Gibson:
The North and South are natural enemies - like husband and wife

Owen Pentecost:
I don't belong to anyone except myself. I'm not joining any parade - yours or theirs. I like walking alone - no ties. Don't ask questions; no one to answer to. Man's gotta be sentimental to fight a war; gotta have a lump in his throat about God and country and home and mother, all the pretty things. [Takes a drink, and looks at Boston] No lumps.

Zeff Masterson:
Where are you from, mister? Georgia? Louisiana?

Owen Pentecost:
North Carolina.

Zeff Masterson:
Just as bad. I can smell a Southerner a mile off. Smell I don't like. Nor the breed. High and godly, slave-trading, slave-beating rebel secessionists. Not fit to live, none of you. Sorry we saved your worthless hide.

Boston Grant:
Talking about gold really perks you up.

Owen Pentecost:
What's wrong with liking gold?

Boston Grant:
Especially in the color of a girl's hair?

Owen Pentecost:
I don't care about the color of a girl's hair. Long as she has a reasonable amount I don't complain.

Jumbo Means:
He'll rob you blind, him and that cheatin' woman of his. I know her like a book.

Boston Grant:
You never got past the cover, elephant boy.

Boston Grant:
[to Owen] Chances are you'll end up with more lead than gold.

Boston Grant:
Owen, if there's a war, I'm North, a Yankee, you're South. What happens to us?

Owen Pentecost:
I shoot you, I guess. [He smiles]

Ann Merry Alaine:
I prefer to come down from a pedestal under my own power.

Owen Pentecost:
When you do, I'd like to be around.

Captain Stephen Kirby:
Civilians aren't supposed to wear army caps. Where did you get them?

Jumbo Means:
I issued them. I had them shipped in with the rifles. I've got friends back East. Powerful friends.

Captain Stephen Kirby:
I wouldn't care if you and the Secretary of War were kissin' kin.

Boston Grant:
I cheated to get you and I'm not letting you go. Take me with you, Owen. I'll do anything. I'll ride a mule. I'll wash. I'll cook. Don't leave me, Owen.

Boston Grant:
You'll forget me in a week.

Owen Pentecost:
I'll remember you as long as I remember anything.

Owen Pentecost:
Love is never a word that came easy to me.
