- [as Johnny walks past Warren, the older man hooks his elbow with his cane]
- Johnny Scoville: Look here, Mr. Warren, I'm not a dog you herd around with a stick.
- Mark Warren: 'Course not. I like dogs.
- Lee Dineen: What he doesn't like is nesters wanting to marry his daughter for her money.
- [Warren drops his cane after swinging and missing at Steve's pistol]
- Steve Dexter: Losing your grip on things, Mr. Warren?
- Mark Warren: No, not the big things.
- Steve Dexter: I wouldn't call this big. Prodding a man to draw so you can kill him - I'd call that pretty small.
- Mark Warren: Horning in on my personal affairs - I'd call that pretty dangerous.
- Laura Warren: Steve, what are you trying to do? Johnny doesn't belong in a game like that. The stakes are too high.
- Steve Dexter: I'm staking him.
- Laura Warren: Why should you? And why did you talk him into playing in the first place, especially against my father and Dineen?
- Steve Dexter: A lot of things can be settled over a poker game.
- Laura Warren: But Johnny's not good at gambling.
- Steve Dexter: He's the big winner with you, isn't he?
- Laura Warren: Yes, Steve, he is, no matter what anybody does!
- Steve Dexter: ...I can't beat a hand like that.
- [refering to Johnny's amazing run of luck in a poker game]
- Lee Dineen: Last time I saw luck like that, the fella had a rabbit's foot in one pocket and five extra aces in the other.
