Quests

Talk

  1. “Virgil. I run cattle out here. Well. I run cattle. They mostly run from me.”
  2. “My nerves are shot. Have been for years. The doc says it's the desert. I say it's the cattle. The cattle won't say.”
  3. “Nearest neighbor's three miles off. I like him fine. I've never met him. That's why.”
  4. “I built this place with my own hands. You can tell. Nothing's square. My wife says it gives it character. Then she left. Said it gave her a headache.”
  5. “Out here a man learns to sit still. The heat teaches you. If you move, it hurts. If you sit, it still hurts, but you're sitting.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “That's all right. Most folks keep walking. Cattle too.”
  • “Go on, then. I'll be on the porch. Same as always.”
  • “Fine by me. Talking gets my nerves up anyhow.”
