Male company will be a welcome relief in this hot-house of female emotions. - Aunt Rosemary You are a foolish boy, Jim! - Jessica He's not a lad, brother , he's a man! - Spur There's more to life than death, Jim. - Spur A man without a horse is like a man without a leg. - Spur I have to finish this job. - Jim There'll be no wallaby tonight; I'll kill the fatted calf. Come to think of it, I already have. - Spur You have to treat the mountains like a high-spirited horse. Never take them for granted. - Jim If you really knew Matilda, you could never ask that question. Of course she's yours. But, you don't deserve her! - Spur Sorry to hear about your father, Jim. He was a good mate. - Clancy I'll be back later to check on your work. - Jim One minute it's like paradise, the next it's trying to kill you. - Jessica I thought I might find you here, staring at the mountains. - Clancy Don't throw effort after foolishness! - Spur And the H is for? Homeless! - Jessica and Spur You have to work with a horse, not against it. - Jim There are at least a dozen good brood mares in that mob. I'll be back for them...and for whatever else is mine. - Jim You're welcome by my fire anytime. - Jim You just rest, Jess. - Harrison Yes, lady . Has the word become old-fashioned? It's become an excuse to keep women under control. - Harrison and Jessica Jessica, you're attacking that piece with all the sensitivity of a road mender! Now, try again, and this time con amore and spare me the affectations of martyrdom. - Aunt Rosemary That's not why I rode. - Jim It's like we're the only two people on earth! - Jessica I'll run down that mob and fetch her back. Sure, and on foot, too! - Jim and Spur I think you'd sooner hold back the tide than tame the mountains. - Jim You may bid the mob good day. - Harrison If I'd needed your help, mate , I'd have asked for it. - Jessica Thank you, kind sir. - Jessica You bastard! - Jim So, the well-known cattle breeder has a breeding program for his daughter as well. - Jessica Tasty, huh? In a toxic, festering sort o' way... - Spur and Clancy One of life's injustices...you don't get to choose your own relatives. - Spur You've been offerin' me food for twenty years, too, but all I ever get's wallaby stew. - Clancy Well, that's it, lad. You can't stay up here. - Mountain Man You go down to the low country and earn the right to live up here. Just like your father did. - Mountain Man Oh, I so wanted to go with'em, but somebody's got to stay here and look after the womenfolk, right? - Spur Just like a woman, has to have the last word. - Spur
