Marion:
Isn't there anything I can say that'll change things?

Joe:
Can't you see, honey, maybe this is the chance. Morgan and them boys went home.

Marion:
You don't really believe that. That's not the reason.

Joe:
It's just too much for me to give up, this place and the valley. All the things that will be.

Marion:
Will be. [about his toy gun] Joey, don't point that thing! Go play outside! Play outside, Joey! Please dear, go outside and play. [Joey exits] It's just pride, that's all, a silly kind of pride. Don't I mean anything to you, Joe? Doesn't Joey?

Joe:
Marion - honey, it's because you mean so much to me that I- I've got to go. Do you think I could go on living with you and you thinking that I showed yella. Then, what about Joey? How do you think I'd ever explain that to him.

Marion:
Oh Joe, Joe.

Joe:
I've been thinkin' a lot and I know I'm kinda slow sometimes, Marion, but I see things. And I know that, if, if anything happened to me that you'd be took care of, took care of better than I could do it myself. I never thought I'd live to hear myself say that but I guess now's a pretty good time to lay things bare.

Marion:
It's as though I'd be glad for you to go.

Joe:
Honey, you're the most honest and the finest girl that ever lived and I couldn't do what I gotta do if I hadn't always knowed that I could trust ya. Now don't you go countin' me out. [He straps on his holster] I wouldn't have lived as long as I have already if I wasn't pretty tough.
