Quotes 

• Beth Lassiter : I can't spend another day in that house. I'm leaving.

  Johnny Yuma : Beth, this your home; these are your people.

  Beth Lassiter : Lassister House isn't a home anymore - it's a private graveyard filled with a mother's memory of a dead son and I'm not going to spend the rest of my life chained to that memory.

• [last lines] 

  [after watching the monument to her son, now disgraced, being dragged away, Mrs. Lassister turns to her estranged daughter] 

  Mrs. Martha Lassiter : Beth...

  Beth Lassiter : Mama.

  [cut to a shot of Johnny Yuma watching them, then riding to the monument of Corporal Phillip Lassiter, now in the cemetery. Yuma removes his Confederate cap for a moment, puts it back on and rides off] 

• Johnny Yuma : This is real fine livin'.

  Beth Lassiter : The work is hard. There won't be much time for anything else.

  Johnny Yuma : I've earned a lot less for doin' a lot more.
