Tom Tully: Tom Starett

Quotes 

• Harvey Ball : You think Ryker had something to do with it?

  Shane : Ryker had nothing to do with it.

  Tom Starett : You don't know that, Shane. He's a cattleman, same as they are.

  Shane : No, he's not the same as they are, Tom. He just looks like that to you because he's trying to kick you out of the valley. As far as the Cattlemen's Benevolent League is concerned he's just a big homesteader.

  Harvey Ball : You sure think you're some kind of expert in all this, Shane.

  Shane : I've worked with outfits like this, Harvey. I know how they operate. They put the law in one pocket and the newspapers in the other.

  Harvey Ball : Chicken Little!

  Shane : What's that supposed to mean?

  Harvey Ball : [Mockingly]  Run for your lives! The sky is falling!
