Quotes[]

Gil Favor (opening): “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 that might get in the way during a thousand slow, grinding miles. It's a job, and it's mine. Gil Favor's my name – Trail boss.”
