The Fighting Stallion (1950)

Bill Edwards: Lon Evans

Quotes 

• Commander Patrick : Understand you're leaving us.

  Lon Evans : Yes sir. I finally got my papers and I'm goin' home - good old Wyoming.

  Commander Patrick : Little better than Tarawa, huh?

  Lon Evans : And the jungles of the Phillipines. That was the longest three years of my life, but it would have been a lot workse if I hadn't had the memory of the most wonderful country in the world to think about.

• Lon Evans : Braille? Training the blind? A seeing-eye dog? What use would a seeing-eye dog be in a country where a man judges distance by the horizon; where a man can ride all day without seeing another soul; where the only creatures that live inside are caged birds? What good would a seeing-eye dog be on a branding job or a cattle round-up? No thanks, Doc.

• Lon Evans : Hello. You must be from the Indian Head Dude Ranch.

  Jeanne Barton : Are you one of those fortune tellers who knows all and tells all?

  Lon Evans : Nope, that one was easy. I could tell by the brand on your horse where you're from and judging from the distance to there you must be lost.

  Jeanne Barton : Your calculations are quire correct, my dear Watson. I'm a tenderfoot as green as they come and I am lost.

• Lon Evans : I'm not one of your patients. I don't want your pity.

  Jeanne Barton : Pity? I don't pity you! I don't even feel sorry for you. I'll reserve that for the boys who really need it, the ones who are a lot worse off than you - the men who can't take a girl in their arms because they haven't any arms!

• Lon Evans : Now you know why I trained Starlight. He's to be my eyes.

• [last lines] 

  Jeanne Barton : [reading a letter]  Oh, this is wonderful news! You remember that doctor I worked with in the service - you know, the one who performed that incredible eye operation?

  Lon Evans : Yes, you told me about him.

  Jeanne Barton : Well, by a very strange coincidence, he wrote me that he's going to spend his vacation here in Wyoming. He feels sure he can restore your sight.

  Lon Evans : That is good news!

  Jeanne Barton : I know this doctor can't miss.

  Lon Evans : And if he does, I still have Starlight... and you.
