Newt Dobbs
- Woodrow Call: You ever get tired o' loafin' I reckon you can get a job waitin' on tables.
- Gus McCrae: Oh, I had a job waitin' tables once. S' on a riverboat. I wasn't no older than Newt, there, but I hadda give it up.
- Newt: How come?
- Gus McCrae: Well I was, too young and pretty and the whores wouldn't let me alone.
- Gus McCrae: [Coming upon the sodbusters killed by Dan Suggs] I'god, a man could get rich in the grave digging business around here. Pea, you ought to get a long shovel.
- Pea Eye Parker: I don't think I'd want to do that.
- Woodrow Call: This is a bad bunch we're after.
- Newt: Gus, Jake wouldn't have nothin' to do with something like this!
- Gus McCrae: Jake's always been a drifter Newt. Any wind can blow him.
- Newt: Captain, can I go with you down to the river next time you go? I believe I'm gettin' old enough.
- Woodrow Call: You get old quick, sittin' out here on the porch, talkin'. Best go on to bed.
- Newt: It's still early, Captain.
- Woodrow Call: You go on to bed now, like I told you to.
- Gus McCrae: Now, why did you do that? Best chance the boy's got at a education is listenin' to me talk.
- Woodrow Call: What kinda education is that?
- Gus McCrae: You think he'll learn more shovelin' horse poop for you?
- Woodrow Call: I shoveled my share of it, it ain't hurt me none.
- Gus McCrae: Well, it's fine with me if that's how you wanna make your fortune.
- Newt: Gus, are you sure the Captain is my father?
- Gus McCrae: Yep, he is.
- Newt: He ain't never mentioned it.
- Gus McCrae: Well, Woodrow ain't much of a mentioner.
- Joshua Deets: [laughing] Done put a gun on you. Reckon you'll be boss of this outfit before too much longer.
- Newt: [Going along with the joke] You better hope not, Deets. First thing I'll do is cut your wages for all them times you been joshin' me.
- Newt: Jake wasn't a killer.
- Gus McCrae: Jake liked to joke. He didn't like to work. I have exactly those same failings myself.
