- Striker: He gave it back? Fifty thousand dollars?
- Matt Blackner: It was only forty-eight thousand. I had no more use for it.
- Striker: I had a use for it, you back-stabbin' old goat! I coulda bought me a town, do you hear? A whole town just for me!
- Matt Blackner: That town will remember my name; light candles for me once a year!
- Jim Hardie: I hoped you'd retired from the road, Matt.
- Matt Blackner: You don't retire from the road, lad, you die in office... A hard meaningless life, Mr. Hardie, but it was a man's life and I'll miss it.
- Matt Blackner: Jim, I lied to you about my daughter wishing me well. She wishes me nothing for me but the kind of misery she's had.
