Quotes9

  • Major Seth Adams: I never won an argument with a preacher in all my life.
  • Major Seth Adams: Listen, I'm only doing this so that you and your wife won't get into any trouble. Afterall you're a paying passenger on this train. It's my duty to protect you, by golly. Even against yourself.
  • Major Seth Adams: But I'm afraid if there's any good in that fella, it's buried so deep you couldn't dig down to it if you tried, all the way from here to California. A little experience in this kinda country will teach you a few things that don't add up to your schooling.
  • Major Seth Adams: For the love of Jahosafat? Why?
  • Roger Bigelow: Because he needs help.
  • Major Seth Adams: Listen, Boy...
  • Nancy Bigelow: Major Adams. My husband is not a child. He's an ordained minister.
  • Major Seth Adams: I know.
  • Nancy Bigelow: A graduate of Mount Pleasant Seminary. His title is Reverend, not Boy.
  • Bill Hawks: You know, Charlie, if it works on Varney, there still might be a chance for you.
  • Charlie Wooster: Don't you worry about my soul. It don't need no saving.
  • Bill Hawks: Suppose you're gonna tell me it's lily-white, huh?
  • Charlie Wooster: Well, it might be a little grey around the edges, but it's not black like yours.
  • Major Seth Adams: Listen, you two. I think you've got something more important to worry about and talk about than how black your goldarn souls are. I want to take turns and stand watch on that Bigelow wagon. See that nothing happens over there. As far as your souls are concerned, I don't know myself which is the blackest.
  • Major Seth Adams: And you'll get your horse back as soon as I can get that fella off him.
  • Major Seth Adams: Reverend, I respect you as a man. I respect your cloth so I can't very well tell yer that you're a liar. But it sure does put an awful strain on my intelligence to believe yer. So maybe you'll explain to me how a man, any man, could possibly give away his horse, his best horse, and one thousand dollars. his whole stake, to a crook.
  • Major Seth Adams: Well, of course, Bill. What's the matter with you? You lost your faith in your fellow man?
  • Major Seth Adams: It isn't very often that a man has a friend who is willing to accept you at face value, to take you in, no questions asked. But I guess you know that. Just as well as anybody else, don't you.
  • Wes Varney: Maybe better. I ben more places than most.
  • Major Seth Adams: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
