The Ballad of Josie

Klugg: We never could figure out if they was kinfolk come to join the fight or just strangers passin' through. Josie Minick: Well, that was awful! Klugg: Yes, ma'am, it surely was, them being dead thataway. We never could figure out who'd have to bury 'em.

James Meredith: You know, it takes money, capital, brains and sweat to raise cattle, but any idiot with a two-bit dog and a Winchester can raise sheep.

Jason Meredith: If I had thought about it, we would have stopped to eat north of the deadline. Josie Minick: The what? Jason Meredith: The deadline. We passed it about ten minutes back. Sheep to the south, cattle to the north. Josie Minick: I don't know anything about a deadline. Jason Meredith: Well, there's nothing complicated about it. You see, the cowmen opened up this territory and then the sheepmen tried to move in. Well, we had quite a debate. We burned a lot of powder and a lot of lead and we buried a few. And then finally we drew a line across the southeast section of the state. And the sheep stay on one side and the cattle on the other.

Jason Meredith: You know, they say that the admission of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom. I don't know a thing about women. I never did.

Mooney: You hardly think she could shoot that thing. Jason Meredith: Ah, that woman gets crazy every so often. Mooney: Yeah, they're prisoners of their juices.
