Dialogue
- Farmer: The government gave us each one hundred and sixty acres.
- McLintock: The government never gave anybody anything. You make these homesteads go, you'll have earned every acre of it. You just cant make 'em go on the Mesa Verde! God made that land fer buffalo. Serves pretty well for cattle. But it hates the plow! And even the government should know that you can't farm six thousand feet above sea level.
- Drago: Boss, what's "reactionary" mean?
- McLintock: I guess he says that anyone who sells at a profit is a reactionary
- Devlin: I am just a hired hand around here
- McLintock: Every so often Dev, you spell the strangest ideas. Everybody works for somebody. I work for everybody in East United States that steps into a butcher shop for a T-Bone steak and you work for me, it is not much difference
