Quotes

Josh: If we had to shoot one of 'em, I wish it had been the little one. (edit)
Hoss: We ain't got ourselves many problems. We lost our horses, we ain't got any food or water, and even if I could walk, we can't get out of here - those fellers are using real bullets up there! On top of that, it's gonna get cold enough tonight to freeze the hide off a drunken cowboy, and we can't build no fire! (edit)
Ben: (to Adam) Someone has to stay home. (edit)
Hoss: That's the big trouble with Pa. He still thinks he's 21 years old. He ought to start taking it a might easier. (edit)
Adam: That’ll stop the bleeding. You’ll be as fine as a frog’s hair in no time. (edit)

Trivia

Superb
The Rescue
"Fine example"
The boys think Ben is too old to be doing the "more physical" parts of ranching and suggest he stay home while the 3 of them head out to look for rustlers. Soon, the boys are in trouble and hoping Pa shows up in time!
