Woodrow F. Call: You're lucky they didn't through you in jail.
Augustus 'Gus' McCrae: Well, it ain't much of a crime whackin' a surely bartender. I guess they may have forgot us though.
Woodrow F. Call: Why wouldn't they forget us? We haven't been around here in years.
Augustus 'Gus' McCrae: No, the reason is we never got killed, that's why they forgot us.
Woodrow F. Call: That is a dang foolish thing to say.
Augustus 'Gus' McCrae: No it ain't. If a thousand Comanches had cornered us in a gutter somewhere and wiped us out, like the Soo just done Custer, why they'd remember us sure. Hell, they'd be writin' songs about us for a hindered years.
Woodrow F. Call: Now there weren't ever a thousand Comanches in the whole world, and you know it.
Augustus 'Gus' McCrae: Well that ain't the point, Woodrow!

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae: If you want only one thing too much, it's likely to turn out a disappointment. Now the only healthy way to live, as I see it, is to learn to like all the little every day things.
Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (continuity error): When the Irish kid falls in the water and is attacked by the snakes, he is bit by one of them on the cheek at the end of chapter one. In chapter two, when his wounds are being investigated, there's not a bite mark on his cheek.
- Goof (revealing mistake): When Gus kills his horse to use it as a shield against fire from Blue Duck's men, the horse can clearly still be seen breathing. Additionally, it moves one of its legs in a later scene.
- Goof (continuity error): When Wade comes back to the camp from turkey hunting, he finds Luke trying to rape Elmira. He grabs Luke's boots and drags him off, on his belly. The next scene, Wade is holding Luke's boots and the heels are facing out, as they would be if Luke was still on his belly, but in the next scene, Luke is on his back. Again in the next scene, Wade is still holding Luke's boots, belly down, but Luke is still shown on his back.
- Goof (continuity error): When Gus gets bucked off, he drops his canteen on the ground. Immediately upon getting up and remounting, the canteen is hanging on the saddle horn.
- Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While pulling the boy that got snake bit out of the river a cowhand tells Danny Glover's character "Deets" "Back your horse up Danny".
