- Chicory: That tea smells gruesome.
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: It's soup.
- Chicory: Oh. You think I can have some?
- Samantha: This is why frontier life is so difficult. Not because of the Indians or the elements but because of the idiots.
- Deputy Nick: You were right about that drifter. He killed a lot of people. He butchered them in their sleep and he robbed them. His name was Purvis. And then he desecrated the burial ground of these things. These Indians or whatever they are. He raved about it all in the end. That man deserved to die.
- John Brooder: I Should Go With You, Since I'm Most Experienced With Killing Indians
- [brief pause]
- John Brooder: That's Not A Boast
- [Beat]
- John Brooder: That's A Fact!
- John Brooder: Are any of you somnambulists?
- Chicory: That's PRIVATE!
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: He means sleepwalking.
- John Brooder: I see a snake. In a tree.
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: What kind?
- [gunshot]
- John Brooder: Deceased.
- Chicory: [getting ready to sleep] Can you read a book in the bath?
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: I don't understand what you're askin'.
- Chicory: What I'm asking is, can you sit in a bathtub full of hot water and read a book?
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: I've never tried.
- Chicory: Well, I hear about people doing it all the time, but every time I try, I ruin the book. I splash water on it or I get it wet turning the pages. I've even dropped some in.
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: Why are you so determined to read literature while takin' a bath?
- Chicory: Well, it's just... It's just nothing feels better than sitting in that tub, but it just gets so dull looking at your toes all the time.
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: Why don't you get a music stand? Like the kind an orchestra fellow uses or the choirmaster?
- Chicory: Now that's an idea.
- Sheriff Franklin Hunt: You put your book on that. Right next to the tub. Keep a towel near, so you can... You can dry your fingers, you know, before you turn the pages.
- Chicory: First thing I'm gonna do when I get back is I'm gonna go get me one of those stands.
