Quotes

Wade : [recognizes Colton] You hiring on with us?
Colton : Yeah. Got nothing better to do.
Colton : [surveys the territory in Elsa's direction] What's her deal? She's pretty sporty.
Wade : She was paired up with Ennis till a Comanchero shot him. She plugged that son of a bitch three times in the chest.
Colton : Ennis got killed?
Wade : [warning] Yeah, she won't be in the mood for you.
Colton : [reins and rides in Elsa's direction as Wade shakes his head] They're all in the mood for me.
[hubristic laugh]
Colton : [kisses, horse approaching Elsa] Hi. My name's Colton. What's yours?
[Elsa stares through Colton and looks back to the herd]
Colton : [laughs] What do I call ya?
Elsa Dutton : [flatly] You don't.
Colton : [changing tact] Ennis was a friend of mine.
[Elsa gives a deadpan look of acknowledgement]
Colton : [somberly looks down] He was a good hand. I'm sorry he's gone.
Elsa Dutton : [a catch in her voice] Me too.
Colton : If... if I can do anything... let me know.
Elsa Dutton : There's nothing to do.
Colton : [nods his head] Ma'am.
[reins and rides back to Wade]
Colton : They was more than paired up. She's in mourning like a damn widow.
Wade : She is a widow.

[Elsa rides back to the herd after James runs her out of the trading post for pulling a pistol on a man]
Wade : How was it?
Elsa Dutton : Not worth going.
Wade : They never are.
Wade : [Wade introspectively surveys the land and sky] Stars for a blanket. Ground for a bed. Good horse, open country. That's all a cowboy needs.
Wade : [pauses to look in Elsa's direction] Guess it's all a cowgirl needs too.
