Eatin' their food. Spendin' their money. And whatdya give em? Always got away with it before, ain't ya? And now you're scared. 'Cause these ain't kids, they're men. If one of em laid a finger on ya, you'd faint.

• Ruby Lemar : You putty-faced little fool.

• Ruby Lemar : I ain't lettin' Lee run after ya. He was mine before you ever come along. They had him in Leavenworth once - for shootin' a soldier over one of them foreign women. I got him out. And how do you think I paid? Sure, you wouldn't do it, would ya?

• Ruby Lemar : I could tell it was Trigger by the smell of that stuff on his hair.
