Eric Fleming: Gil Favor

Quotes 

• Gil Favor : In the trail towns, they say the only thing wilder than Texas steers are the cowhands who drive 'em. So if a big herd is gonna reach the market, there has to be someone tough enough to handle the crew and the cattle and anything else they might get in the way during a thousand slow, grinding miles. And it's a job, and it's mine. Gil Favor's my name - trail boss.

• Gil Favor : I keep seeing her face, the way she looked at what was left of her husband. Just kept screaming, couldn't believe he was gone. She was bringing him coffee.

• Jesus 'Hey Soos' Patines : I will go and ask the horses to come back. I can do that easier alone. The horses will listen to me when they are not excited.

  Gil Favor : Hey Soos, you run into anybody, you keep your mouth shut.

  Jesus 'Hey Soos' Patines : Senor.

  Gil Favor : Just don't let them know you're our wrangler.

  Jesus 'Hey Soos' Patines : Senor Favor, Hey Soos right now not very proud to be your wrangler.

• Gil Favor : How are we for shells?

  Rowdy Yates : We got plenty of rifle shells, enough 45s to fight... an army.

  Gil Favor : How about gauze, laudanum, carbolic?

  Wishbone : Plenty.

• Mushy : I wish you'd speak to Mr Wishbone.

  Gil Favor : About what?

  Mushy : Well, for one thing, he's got every pocket stuffed with shells for the Greener

  [shotgun] 

  Mushy : and he wants to drive with that shotgun loaded and rested between his legs under the seat. Well, Mr Favor, if we ever hit a bump, he'll blow our hip pockets clear over the State of Kansas.

• Gil Favor : As trail boss, I'm responsible for everything that happens on the drive, even accidents.

  Hornbeck : You know what you're saying?

  Gil Favor : If you've got to have blood, one man's better than forty. All I ask is a fair trial.

  Eli Becker : You've already been tried in the Bible, Favor. An eye for an eye. Get that rope, Hornbeck.
