High Spade Frankie Wilson
- [High Spade explains to Lola why Lin has been pursuing his brother, Dutch]
- High Spade: Well, that's the way it was. The old man sired two sons. One was no good... never was any good. Robbed a bank... a stagecoach. Then when he came home and wanted to hide out, the old man wouldn't go for it. So Dutch shot him... in the back.
- Sgt. Wilkes: You're a man after my stamp. Wish we'd have had you with us at Bull Run. We might not have run so fast.
- Lin McAdam: Well, I wanna tell you somethin'. I was with you at Bull Run. So was High Spade.
- High Spade: Only we was on the other side.
- [Lin McAdam and High Spade are signing up for the shooting contest]
- Bartender: Who would you be?
- High Spade: High Spade Frankie Wilson... with a hyphen. That's what I sit on when I get tired.
- Lin McAdam: You've been real fine people, High Spade, riding along with me.
- High Spade: That's what friends are for, isn't it. At leastways, that's the way you dad always said it.
- Lin McAdam: Yeah, he did, didn't he? He said if a man had one friend, he was rich. I'm rich.
- High Spade: Where's that Steve boy? Drinkin' whiskey?
- Lola Manners: He's dead.
- High Spade: Sudden, wasn't it?
- Lola Manners: Very. He was killed by that gentleman standing at the bar. The one that's looking at us.
- High Spade: Don't seem right for people to go around killing nice folks like...
- Lola Manners: He's not "people". He's Waco Johnny Dean.
- High Spade: You're about ready to fall out of the saddle. Why don't we rest up a little?
- Lin McAdam: I'm not that tired.
- High Spade: Four or five hours ain't gonna make any difference. We have been chasin' since... since I can't remember.
- High Spade: We've hit a lot of towns, Lin. What makes you think he'll be here?
- Lin McAdam: He'll be here.
- High Spade: We've been wrong before.
- Lin McAdam: He'll be here.
- High Spade: On account of that?
- [High Spade indicates the Winchester '73 rifle that is the top prize at Dodge City's Fourth of July shooting competition]
- Lin McAdam: If he isn't here already, that gun'll bring him.
- High Spade: It was such pretty hair. I've had it ever since I was a kid. A little thin on top... but I sure would like to keep it.
- High Spade: Did you ever wonder what he'd think about you hunting down Dutch Henry?
- Lin McAdam: He'd understand. He taught me to hunt.
- High Spade: Not men. Hunting for food, that's alright. Hunting a man to kill him? You're beginning to like it.
- Lin McAdam: That's where you're wrong. I don't like it. Some things a man has to do, so he does 'em.
- Lin McAdam: Yeah, I hear 'em.
- High Spade: I told you night riding wasn't smart.
- Lin McAdam: I guess you did.
- High Spade: Now we're smack in the middle of 'em.
- Lin McAdam: I guess you're right again.
- High Spade: Being right ain't gonna do us any good. What do we do now?
- Lin McAdam: Well, keep riding.
- High Spade: With injuns all around us?
- Lin McAdam: Maybe you'd feel better if we stopped?
- High Spade: Ah... no.
- Lin McAdam: Well, then maybe we better just keep riding.
