Quotes 

• Rupe Bosworth : Well, their mother was a violent woman. She liked to wring chickens' necks.

• Rupe Bosworth : I don't believe I could shoot one of them even if they did come here. Sentimental, I guess.

• Paladin : Why do you keep the rest of this house locked up?

  Rupe Bosworth : Why should I open it up? There's nothing but dust and sadness in these rooms. I'm an old man, Paladin, I've outlived two wives. A bad one and a good one.

• Rupe Bosworth : Ain't gonna be no harvest. You ever see 200 acres of SWEET PEAS in bloom?

  Paladin : No.

  Rupe Bosworth : They're worth looking at. Smell good too.

• Rupe Bosworth : I hate doing dishes so I buy a new set in town every week for a dollar and throw them away when there's dirty. Anything wrong with that?

  Paladin : No.

  [laughs heartily] 

  Paladin : No, nothing at all.

• Rupe Bosworth : John, he's awfully sly.

  Paladin : Why'd you put him off the place?

  Rupe Bosworth : Huh! 'Cos. Another smart idea of John's. He took out fire insurance on the house. Ah. Let Hank tell you, he knows.

• Rupe Bosworth : Say, you might go out by way of the west quarter. Take a look at the crop.

  Paladin : You mean, see if it's ready for harvest?

  Rupe Bosworth : Ain't gonna be no harvest. You ever see 200 acres of Sweet Peas in bloom?

  Paladin : No.

  Rupe Bosworth : They're worth looking at. Smell good too.
