Col. Ben Allison
- Stagecoach Driver: Lively lookin' female we got with us.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Yeah.
- Stagecoach Driver: Dance Hall woman?
- Colonel Ben Allison: No. Prospector.
- Stagecoach Driver: Get out! Ain't no such. Not a female! What kind?
- Colonel Ben Allison: What kind of what?
- Stagecoach Driver: Prospectin'.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Golddiggin'.

- [pointing to a lynched man dangling from a tree limb]
- Colonel Ben Allison: Looks like we're close to civilization.
- Colonel Ben Allison: [after eating rabbit cooked by Nella, then kissing her] You sure give a honey and molassas flavor to this rabbit.
- Nella Turner: That's not honey and molassas - that's just girl.
- Nella Turner: Go ahead, I ain't gonna bite ya.
- Colonel Ben Allison: I don't know. Those teeth look pretty sharp to me.
- Nella Turner: They oughta be. They haven't had anything to eat in three days.
- Colonel Ben Allison: You know somethin'? When a woman looks pretty at sun up, then she's really pretty.
- Nella Turner: Didn't think you could spout so elegant.
- Colonel Ben Allison: I got words I ain't ever used.
- Colonel Ben Allison: [after using a knife to cut open Nella's corset as she lies passed out on the bed] Breathin' like an old swamp frog. I'll take her back to her gold mine.
- Nella Turner: I came down here for just one reason, Mr. Allison.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Peek-a-boo clothes and everything.
- Nella Turner: And I got no more use for you or your insults.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Stark, better get your responsibility undercover. Put her in the bathtub. Tell her to lay low. These Jayhawkers might get a little ornery.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Luis, how many head we lose?
- Luis: Oh, about a 100. 150.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Oh, well, those belong to Stark.
- Luis: Now for a good celebration and a *big* drunk.
- Colonel Ben Allison: No. Skip me, Luis. Split this bonus money among the boys. Share for share.
- Luis: Señor Ben, it's a night for drinking!
- Clint Allison: You save her hide and the jasper gets her.
- Colonel Ben Allison: I got no brand on her.
- Colonel Ben Allison: You're making it tough on yourself, Mr. Stark.
- Nathan Stark: I'm not trying to make it tough, only tempting.
- Clint Allison: Never could resist temptation.
- Colonel Ben Allison: A lot of action inside.
- Clint Allison: I never saw such a herd of hard rock gophers in my life.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Gold's what they grow here, not beef.
- Nella Turner: You ain't thinkin' of butcherin' one of our mules?
- Colonel Ben Allison: That's no mule, Grandma. That's the Missouri Elk.
- Nella Turner: Make yourselves to home. I reckon we have a little coffee left.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Thanks, Grandma.
- Nella Turner: Grandma?
- Nella Turner: I wish you'd rub my feet some more.
- Colonel Ben Allison: Here, put 'em on my back.
- Nella Turner: Ooo...
- Colonel Ben Allison: I was about to go off and leave you. Only, I - haven't had my breakfast.
- [gives Nella a long kiss, starts to give her another one]
- Nella Turner: Whoa! Short rations.
