Jocasta Constantine
- Jocasta Constantine: [Offering to loan Steve ten dollars] I'd lend you more, if you would use the money to go back home.
- Steve Miller: Go home? Why?
- Jocasta Constantine: Steve, we've only talked a few times since you came here. But I know this about you. You are gentle. You haven't been used, and made hard. This is not your kind of life. Look at the men in the bunkhouse: Baldy, and Fat Jones, and Abe. Never a chance for a family, or a home. In ten years, you're gonna' be like them - a "nobody" on a horse. That's what a wrangler is: a "nobody" on a horse. With bad teeth, broken bones, double hernia, and lice!
- Jocasta Constantine: Go home. Before you kill your first man. Or put a rope on your first hanging, and it begins to eat you up alive. Learn a decent trade. Find yourself a nice girl and get married. Live in a place where you can bring up children. A normal life. A normal life that... Steve, I... I'm sorry. Sometimes I think you're my own man. The old dreams.
- Jocasta Constantine: [to Mr. Rodock] I understand now why you never married or ever wanted to marry. To marry you have to invest your heart in someone. How can you invest if you don't trust?
- [Jocasta Constantine can be seen approaching Jeremy Rodock with a bottle of wine after having just finished speaking with McNulty]
- Jocasta Constantine: Here, my good friend. My friend with no patience.
- [Rodock looks at the bottle for a few seconds before looking up at Jocasta]
- Jeremy Rodock: Did you know him in Cheyenne?
- Jocasta Constantine: [holding the bottle up towards Rodock] My friend who asks questions.
- Jeremy Rodock: [takes the bottle] Aw, forget it. He wasn't born the day I met you.
- [Rodock smiles]
- Jeremy Rodock: I'm kind of glad he wasn't.
- [Jocasta laughs as Rodock holds up the bottle]
- [Jeremy Rodock can be seen talking with Jocasta Constantine. As they are doing this, a door opens and Steve Miller can be seen entering]
- Jeremy Rodock: You alright, Steve?
- Steve Miller: [Nods] Fine.
- [Rodock nods and exits the room as Jocasta approaches Steve]
- Jocasta Constantine: Did you have enough to eat?
- Steve Miller: Yeah.
- [Jocasta takes a set of dishes at Steve is carrying]
- Jocasta Constantine: You have not been taught to say thank you?
- Steve Miller: You know? I bet you was a schoolteacher.
- Jocasta Constantine: [laughs] I never went to school in my life. But my father was a scholar, and I was his best student. I knew French, and German, and Latin, and a little bit of English before I was sixteen.
