Quotes 

• [Simon is rolling dough for bread] 

  Davey Kane : Oh, boy. If Luke could only see you now.

  Simon Kane : What are you doin' here?

  Davey Kane : We broke a wheel about a mile this side of Frenchman's Pass. Luke sent me on to get a new one.

  Simon Kane : Got any passengers?

  Davey Kane : Yeah - Mr. Craig and Mr. and Mrs. Burke. Luke wanted me to bring you back to help, but it seems a shame to take you away from your baking.

  Simon Kane : You get out to the barn and start hitchin' up that buckboard. I've been fightin' this batch of dough since before noon. I'm not about to let it whip me now.

  Davey Kane : Yes, ma'am!

• [last lines] 

  Luke Perry : Well, there is one matter, Sime.

  Simon Kane : What's that?

  Luke Perry : Mr. Murchison. He's going to take a dim view of us losing a stage and a buckboard in that fire.

  Jethrow Burke : Oh, I think I can fix that. You see, I still have the five thousand dollars.

  Simon Kane : The five thousand dollars? But Craig took that.

  Jethrow Burke : No, he took my money belt. Here's the money.

  Luke Perry : But the money belt?

  Jethrow Burke : Merely for protection, Mr. Perry. You see, I read you frontiersman kept your valuables in your money belts, so I kept my money in my pocket!
