A scene from Red River 1948
Dunson

I said 'Brand him.'

Matt

He's wearing a Meeker iron.

Dunson

I can't see it.

Matt

[To Teeler]

Brand him.

Teeler

All right, but the next one up's another Diego.

Matt

Brand him. Put the iron on all of 'em, Teeler. Anything you see, slap it with a 'Red River D' and burn it deep.

Dunson

Why not?

Matt

You're gonna wind up branding every rump in the state of Texas except mine.

Dunson

Hand me that iron, Teeler. You don't think I'd do it, do ya?

Matt

I don't.

Dunson

Matt, I'm goin' to Missouri with every steer, cow, and bull that I can lay my hands on.

Matt

I think Meeker might be real pleased to see our brand on his stock.

Dunson

That I'll argue with Meeker.
