Boy Anderson
- [pouring whiskey to celebrate the birth of his granddaughter]
- Charlie Anderson: How old are you now, Boy?
- Boy Anderson: Eighteen, sir.
- Charlie Anderson: That means you'll be twenty in four years. Eighteen to you, sixteen to me.
- Boy Anderson: Just a little bit, sir. I've never tasted it.
- Charlie Anderson: Well, that's no good reason at all. I've known men who've been drinkin' hard and steady all their lives that have never tasted it, either.
- Boy Anderson: What'd I do?
- Charlie Anderson: It's what you haven't done, boy. A man who eats with his hat on is going nowhere in a hurry. Now, your mother wanted you all raised as good Christians, and I may not be able to do that thorny job as well as she could, but I can do something about your manners.
- Carter: You can have your chance tonight, if you want to take it.
- Boy Anderson: Chance for what?
- Carter: To run. They don't waste men on prisoner duty and they're usually the worst of the lot. They plan on herdin' us onto that sternwheeler and some of us don't fancy no sightseein' tour up North. When they open that gate tonight, you stay as close to me as a flea on a hound dog. Somethin' else. Once we get goin', you're on your own. I gotta forget you ain't nothin' but a lap baby.
- [Boy Anderson is wearing a confederate cap]
- Charlie Anderson: Where'd you get the hat, boy?
- Boy Anderson: Down by the creek, sir.
- Charlie Anderson: Some fella down there handing out hats?
- Charlie Anderson: Your sister is ripe and the pickers are here. Of course, I don't suppose you know what I mean, do you Boy?
- Boy Anderson: I'm not as dumb as you think I am, Pa.
