[The Virginian, Steve and Trampas meet Betsy out riding.]
Yes you are.
SteveI'm what?.
Well I've been thinking about this all day, and trying to make up my mind. Yep, you're pretty!
SteveUm... Thank you, Betsy.
Well what about me?
Uh... Funny.
What about me, Betsy?
I'm going to marry you.
Yes ma'am.
[Trampas tries to find homes for a group of orphans.]
I brought 'em back.
SteveShultz wouldn't take 'em?
He'd take 'em but I wouldn't leave 'em. He went over them like he was buying horses. He even looked at their teeth. All he asked was how much work they could do.
SteveAll kids got chores, you know.
Well, he had more than chores in mind. All he wanted was a lot of hard labor for no pay. It made me feel like that fella in Oliver Twist, that Fagin.
SteveYou know what I think? I think you got soft headed. Couldn't let 'em go. That's what I think.
[Steve meets a man on the road while he is looking for the Virginian, after they are separated.]
SteveHey mister, I could use some help.
Whoa. Now how did a young fellow like you get lost? Well, the nearest town is only about --
SteveNo, I'm not looking for a town. What I wanted to ask -
Don't tell me you're looking for work! Ah, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a job this time of year!
SteveNo I'm not looking for work, I'm trying to track down a man.
Somebody robbed you, huh? Probably a railroad tramp. It happens all the time around here.
SteveIt's a friend of mine!
A friend robbed you? Well no wonder you're looking for him! I'll tell you - any man that takes advantage of a friend --
SteveHe didn't rob me. We got separated. Now a farmer sold him a horse a few miles back with out a saddle, and I'm trying to find him.
Who, the farmer?
SteveMy friend. You didn't happen to see him, did you?
How do you expect me to know who your friends are?
SteveHe was riding a horse without a saddle on it. Now, did you happen to see anybody riding a horse without a saddle?
Oh. Haha! No, I haven't seen anybody like that, boy. Well, good luck!!
SteveI'll need it.
High man?
SteveHigh man. Not your deck.
Steve, you act as if you can't trust me.
SteveI don't know where you ever got that idea, Trampas.
