[Ned Pepper, Mexican Bob, and the Parmalee brothers meet Rooster Cogburn blocking the road.]

Where's the girl, Ned?

She was in wonderful health when last I saw her. I can't answer for her now.

You'll answer for her now! Where is she?

[from far off, in outlaw camp]

Rooster, make a run for it! I've got Mattie! Chaney too!

Well, Rooster, will you give us the road? I have business elsewhere.

Farrell, you and your brother stand clear. I've got no interest in you today. Stand clear and you won't get hurt.

****-a-doodle-doo! [other outlaws laugh]

What's your intention, Rooster? You think one on four is a dog-fall?

I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned, or see you hanged at Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be?

I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!

Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!
