S5 E3The Captive
[Trampas has just returned from taking an girl to town, and he meets the Virginian and Stacey in the corral.]
Plenty. She's staying here while they try and locate her real parents.
Stace told me what happened.
Is she still claiming to be an Indian?
It doesn't much matter to her what she is. She feels Indian, she thinks Indian, and that's the way she likes it.
What happened to the rustlers?
Old Man Grainger... (Trampas looks at Stacey) Uh... Mr. Grainger told the sheriff to send them back to the reservation.
Well that was real kind of Old Man Grainger. (Turns to The Virginian) You mind if I go up and see what's happening?
How come Grainger sent me into town with him and sent Stace back to the range?
I guess he's just trying not to show favoritism.
Why he doesn't have to do that! I never think of Stace as being the boss's grandson. Until I call him Old Man Grainger.
S5 E11Beloved Outlaw
[Mr. Grainger and Trampas and discussing Liz's wanting to enter her horse in the Founder's Day Race.]
JGJohn Grainger
Trampas, I wouldn't want her to know that we discussed this.
"You're right. Well, I guess I'll have to be sneaky about it. I'm pretty good at that."
[Trampas sets Liz up to race with him, and she wins.]
Well, today's the big day. I'll be glad when this race is over and we can get some work done around here.
Well, all right, so I took a minute or two or three or four to--
Any regrets? About getting her to race with you.
Now that you bring the subject up, no. Not after I saw the look on her face when she won.
S5 E22Melanie
[Trampas drives a new girl to town.]
There's not much to see in Medicine Bow.
MMelanie
It's not Medicine Bow I'm interested in.
What are you interested in?
Well, let's see if I can figure it out. Uh.. wealthy, spoiled Eastern girl comes west, finds things kind of dull, meets cowhand. Wants to stir up a little excitement, something she can tell her friends about back in Chicago. Hmm?
MMelanie
Well, maybe. But, I don't think so. But what about you? Why did you kiss me?
MMelanie
Well, maybe I can figure it out. Hard working, hard-headed cowhand gets a little bored with pretty little girls in calico. Meets wealthy spoiled Eastern girl, stir up a little excitement, something to tell the boys back in the bunkhouse.
[Smiles] Well. Let's find out.
