We never could figure out if they was kinfolk come to join the fight or just strangers passin' through.

Josie Minick:
Well, that was awful!

Klugg:
Yes, ma'am, it surely was, them being dead thataway. We never could figure out who'd have to bury 'em.

James Meredith:
You know, it takes money, capital, brains and sweat to raise cattle, but any idiot with a two-bit dog and a Winchester can raise sheep.

Jason Meredith:
If I had thought about it, we would have stopped to eat north of the deadline.

Josie Minick:
The what?

Jason Meredith:
The deadline. We passed it about ten minutes back. Sheep to the south, cattle to the north.

Josie Minick:
I don't know anything about a deadline.

Jason Meredith:
Well, there's nothing complicated about it. You see, the cowmen opened up this territory and then the sheepmen tried to move in. Well, we had quite a debate. We burned a lot of powder and a lot of lead and we buried a few. And then finally we drew a line across the southeast section of the state. And the sheep stay on one side and the cattle on the other.

Jason Meredith:

Mooney:

Jason Meredith:
Ah, that woman gets crazy every so often.

Mooney:
Yeah, they're prisoners of their juices.
