- Jason Meredith: If I had thought about it, we would have stopped to eat north of the deadline.
- Josie Minick: The what?
- Jason Meredith: The deadline. We passed it about ten minutes back. Sheep to the south, cattle to the north.
- Josie Minick: I don't know anything about a deadline.
- Jason Meredith: Well, there's nothing complicated about it. You see, the cowmen opened up this territory and then the sheepmen tried to move in. Well, we had quite a debate. We burned a lot of powder and a lot of lead and we buried a few. And then finally we drew a line across the southeast section of the state. And the sheep stay on one side and the cattle on the other.
- Klugg: We never could figure out if they was kinfolk come to join the fight or just strangers passin' through.
- Josie Minick: Well, that was awful!
- Klugg: Yes, ma'am, it surely was, them being dead thataway. We never could figure out who'd have to bury 'em.
- Josie Minick: What happened?
- Klugg: Boss man and cow feller had a fracas.
- [Klugg points toward the ruins of Josie's barn]
- Klugg: Barn went thataway.
- Josie Minick: Where's Jace?
- Klugg: Stove up considerable. We carried him in yonder.
- Josie Minick: Speed won't matter. I'm counting on surprise.
- Simpson, General Store Owner: Oh, they'll be expecting it. You put a woman in pants, the rest is bound to follow.
- Josie Minick: Got a piece of advice for you, Columbine. You don't want to get too independent. Sounds good, but too much is miserable.
- Josie Minick: Men and women all over the territory are fighting because of me. And do you know where they're fighting?
- Jason Meredith: Where?
- Josie Minick: In their bedrooms.
