Quotes
-
James Dutton : My wife can back a wagon through the doors of a saloon.
-
Ennis : [as Elsa sings to the herd, doffs his hat and kisses her] Guess I'm the one being forward now.
Ennis : [stutters] I... I'm... I'm sorry, I probably should...
Elsa Dutton : [exhilarated, smiling] Do it again.
[James watches the two until they stop then look in his direction, he then canters up]
Ennis : You gonna shoot me?
James Dutton : [deadpan] Thinking about it.
James Dutton : [to Elsa] We're moving the wagon across the river.
Elsa Dutton : When?
James Dutton : Now.
Elsa Dutton : I should stay with the herd. It takes three to move it.
James Dutton : Herd ain't going nowhere with you two swapping supper. You got a job to do. Y'all do it.
Elsa Dutton : Yessir.
Elsa Dutton : [James reins and rides off] Daddy.
Elsa Dutton : [reins, clicks tongue, rides to her father who's waiting] You mad?
James Dutton : You like him?
Elsa Dutton : [hesitant] I do.
James Dutton : Then why would I be mad? I can't treat you like an adult when it suits me and a child when I'm worried. You're one or the other. Your mother is gonna be a different story.
Elsa Dutton : [concerned] You gonna tell her?
James Dutton : [metaphorically washing his hands] Hell, no. I ain't gonna tell her. You're gonna tell her. Y'all hold the herd till every wagon is across that river.
Elsa Dutton : Yessir.
[reins, clicks tongue, returns to the herd]
Elsa Dutton : [James sighs, click his tongue, rides away from herd]
Ennis : He ain't gonna shoot me?
Elsa Dutton : [mockingly] No, he said I could shoot you. If you act up.
Ennis : Well, acting up is my only skill.
Elsa Dutton : No, it ain't... do it again.
[chuckles]
Ennis : [doffs both hats playfully] Come here.
