A scene from Red River 1948
Matt

Well, here's your Red.

Dunson

It's quite a river.

Matt

Sure had a lot smaller herd the last time we crossed.

Dunson

One bull and a cow. Well, this looks like as good a place as any.

Matt

This will take us the rest of the day and part of the night. Why not cross fresh in the morning?

Dunson

We'll put 'em across now!

Matt

We've got a pretty tired bunch behind us.

Dunson

Tired men don't run away.

Matt

We can't keep 'em this wore out all the rest of the drive.

Dunson

No, but we can keep 'em this wore out until Cherry gets back. Then nobody'll want to run away.
