• Smokey Joe Miller : [after hearing the mail plane fly over]  Them there mail fellers are alright, I reckon, and they are fast. But sure, they can't hold a pack into the Pony Express, bringin' that mail through hell and high water. That was a man-sized job.

  Abby : [with disdain]  Huh!

  Smokey Joe Miller : [glares at Abby]  They ain't bothered with any bandits up there. They ain't dodgin' any Indian tomahawks, like us Pony Express riders did.

  Indian Tom : Hmm. Injun up there too. My sister's boy, Charlie Angelo... he fly mail, out of Rock Spring.

  Smokey Joe Miller : Tom, you old Comanche. Here's one Fargo rider you didn't massacre. 'Member the time I held off the whole bunch - single-handed.

  Abby : Still bragging... ain't stopped for 50 years...

  Smokey Joe Miller : Abby, I hear'd yuh. That's the thanks you get - for making California safe for the females.

  Abby : Yeahhh, it's safe. Too safe. Too tame, yuh mean. It's fools like you that stops the thrills.

  Smokey Joe Miller : Thrills? Who'd you ever thrill?
