Quotes 

• Mary Abel Dutton : [standing over her aunt observing, asks an accusing question]  You drink coffee?

  Margaret Dutton : It's not for me.

  Mary Abel Dutton : No one else here.

  [Margaret rises and takes a drink of coffee] 

  Mary Abel Dutton : You lied!

  Margaret Dutton : I did, didn't I?

  Mary Abel Dutton : What kind of a woman drinks coffee?

  Margaret Dutton : I can't wait to hear this lecture on womanhood. This coffee is for him. After a long night. Someday, if you're lucky to find a man... or simply find a man who is extremely unlucky, you will learn coffee is a welcome treat after a hard ride.

  Margaret Dutton : [gives her niece a hard look and takes another drink of coffee]  Mmm

  [walks past her niece while continuing to stare her down] 

• James Dutton : I'm taking Elsa...

  Margaret Dutton : You're what?

  James Dutton : This bunch is short on riders and we need her.

  Margaret Dutton : I'd object, but it sounds like you're not asking my permission.

  James Dutton : No, ma'am, I am not.

  Margaret Dutton : How am I supposed to make her a lady when you keep treating her like a man?

  James Dutton : [rides off]  Plenty of ladies in this world. Pretty short on decent men, though.

  Margaret Dutton : [exasperated]  How am I supposed to respond to that?

• Claire Dutton : [Margaret sitting by the fire as Claire walks in]  Godless noise. We could be listening to cicadas and frogs by the river, but instead we're listening to this.

  Margaret Dutton : For once, we're in agreement.

• Claire Dutton : [uncompassionate reaction to German immigrants succumbing to cholera after drinking unboiled water from the trinity river]  Better they die up here than do something on the trail that gets us killed. Only cure for stupid is reaching the gates of heaven.

  Margaret Dutton : Funny, I don't recall the word "stupid" anywhere in the Bible.
