The Virginian Quote
[Trampas tries to find homes for a group of orphans.]
Trampas: I brought 'em back.
Steve: Shultz wouldn't take 'em?
Trampas: He'd take 'em but I wouldn't leave 'em. He went over them like he was buying horses. He even looked at their teeth. All he asked was how much work they could do.
Steve: All kids got chores, you know.
Trampas: Well, he had more than chores in mind. All he wanted was a lot of hard labor for no pay. It made me feel like that fella in Oliver Twist, that Fagin.
Steve: You know what I think? I think you got soft headed. Couldn't let 'em go. That's what I think.
