A scene from Red River 1948
Dunson

And there as they stand, there isn't a head worth a plug three cent piece...It all happened while you were away, Matt. More cattle than a man could gather elsewhere in two lifetimes. And I'm broke. Unless we can move 'em, I'm broke...I'm not gonna take it haunch-backed like the rest around here. There's no market for cattle in Texas...Then I'll take 'em where there is a market, if it means drivin' them a thousand miles.

Matt

Missouri?

Dunson

Yeah.

Matt

That's what I figured.

Dunson

And have you two been doin' a lot of figurin'? While you were at it, did you figure out the best way to get 'em there?

Matt

Which trail to take? Yeah.
