A scene from Red River 1948
Teeler

Give me that gun. Somebody give me - I'll kill him. Let me go! He was gonna kill me! He wasn't gonna give me a chance - [Matt slaps him]

Matt

Turn him loose. Cherry, give me that gun. Here's what you've been trying for. All right, use it! Go on, you got what you wanted. What are you waiting for? If you don't want to live, all you have to do is - You're a lucky man, Teeler. This is how close it came.

Teeler

Matt, we're gettin' as crazy as he is. [Teeler returns the gun to Matt]

Matt

Keep it. You want to finish the drive?

Teeler

Where are we goin'?

Matt

Abilene.

Teeler

Who's headin' it?

Matt

I am.

Buster

What about Dunson?

Matt

He stays here. We're takin' the herd.

Teeler

That's good enough for me.

Matt

Groot? How about you?

Groot

You was wrong, Mr. Dunson. I've been with ya a lot of years. And up till now, right or wrong, I've always done like ya said. Got to be kind of a habit with me, I guess, 'cuz that's why I'm stayin' with ya.

Dunson

Go on with 'em.

Groot

Thanks. Thanks for makin' it easy on me. All right, men, I'll be comin' with you.

Matt

Throw 'em on the trail, start driving. Buster, you wait here till I get back. [He rides off to help round up the herd]

Cherry

If you come lookin' for me, Mr. Dunson, I'll be in Abilene.
