Clint Eastwood: Rowdy Yates

Incident of the 100 Amulets

Rowdy Yates

Jim Quince: Hey Soos drew his pay.
Gil Favor: That was just to get groceries for his mother.
Jim Quince: Sure but he owns a ranch of his own now and that's a heap better than being kicked by horses.
Rowdy Yates: Oh. he'll be back
Jim Quince: What makes you think so?
Rowdy Yates: Well, he said he would.
Jim Quince: Look, I know you're a friend of his, Rowdy, but.
Rowdy Yates: I didn't know you weren't, Jim.

Gil Favor: The herd's sure acting up. Hey, Quince! Soon as you're finished eating, get the other hands and try to calm them down a bit.
Jim Quince: Yessir!
Rowdy Yates: What's wrong? Do you know?
Wishbone: Sickness in the herd?
Rowdy Yates: No, we've just checked them.
Pete Nolan: Never heard it so quiet.
Gil Favor: Seems to be getting darker.
Pete Nolan: Shouldn't be.
Rowdy Yates: Light's fading.
Pete Nolan: We must be imagining things. Light can't be failing unless we have clouds.
Gil Favor: No, Rowdy's right.
Mushy: Mr Favor, the sun's going out.
Gil Favor: It's an E-clipse
Mushy: What's that? Mr Wishbone, has the sun gone out?
Wishbone: You heard what Mr Favor said? It's a, ah, ah, a slips!

Sheriff Tom Oldfield: You've been riding trail with him and you don't know that the blood of the Devil is in his veins?
Rowdy Yates: You're out of your head.
Pete Nolan: How'd he get hurt?
Sheriff Tom Oldfield: His mother's a witch! She put a curse on the whole valley!
Rowdy Yates: His mother's a what? She did WHAT?
Pete Nolan: Look, Sheriff, tell me, how'd he get hurt?
Sheriff Tom Oldfield: He was stoned by a mob.
Pete Nolan: And you put him in jail?
Sheriff Tom Oldfield: What would you have wanted me to do? Let them kill him?

Rowdy Yates: Looks like that horse has been standing here all night.
Pete Nolan: Well, Hey Soos would rather be caught dead than leave a horse like this.

Burke: You gonna leave those bags behind.
Rowdy Yates: No, I'm taking 'em with me. Better do more than point a gun at me, mister. You're a frightened bunch of jaspers, aren't you, hiding behind those amulets of yours. I'm taking food to a starving woman. You want to stop me? I don't think you better try it.

Rosa Patines: My Hey Soos, he is hurt bad, yes? No one has told me. No one has come here but I know. Take ma to him.
Rowdy Yates: Well, that wouldn't be too smart right now. There's a strong feeling in town against you, ma'am.
Rosa Patines: I know, but he is hurt and needs me.
Rowdy Yates: Right now he needs peace and calm and he wouldn't have that if you go to town.

Rosa Patines: I cannot leave this place, this is first time we own land, Hey Soos and me. Someday this will be his home, and, with the money he makes with your herd, he will buy cattle of his own and he will be important rancher.
Rowdy Yates: He will, Mrs Patines, he will. If the people in town will let him go.
Rosa Patines: He will! HE WILL! HE WILL! HE WILL! HE WILL!
