Cal: How come you did it?
Kate: Did what?
Cal: Shot my father?
Kate: Did he tell you that?
Cal: How come you ran away from all of us? How come you shot him?
Kate: None of your business. I shot him because he tried to stop me. I could have killed him if I'd wanted to, but I didn't. I just wanted him to let me go.
Cal: Why?
Kate: Because he tried to hold me. He wanted to tie me down. He wanted to keep me on a stinking little ranch away from everybody. Keep me all to himself. Nobody holds me.
Cal: But he loved you.
Kate: Love! He wanted to own me. He wanted to bring me up like a snot-nosed kid and tell me what to do. Nobody tells me what to do. Always so right himself. Knowing everything. Reading the Bible at me. [Cal smirks] What are you grinning at?
Cal: Nothing.
Kate: Maybe you know what I'm talking about, huh? Always so right himself?
Cal: [chuckles] Yeah.
Kate: Yeah. Maybe like you said out there, maybe you are more like me. You got sense. Maybe you don't fall for that slop any more than I do. Maybe you know what people are really like, what they want.
