The Broken Star (movie) - Square Dance Scene Starts at 28:15

The Broken Star (1956) with Howard Duff as Deputy Marshal Frank Smeed, and Henry Calvin as cattle king Thornton Wills 

 I queued this movie to start at 27:30.    The square dance scene starts in the following scene.

Rancher Thornton Wills to two of his ranch hands, after they done something particularly dumb: “You’ve acted like a couple of pumpkin heads. I don’t believe … either one of you could drive a spike into a snowbank.”

Conchita, on her cousin’s temperament: “He had hot peppers in his brain.”

Genty, to two of Wills’ henchman who have accosted Conchita: “Alright you two, I’m taking you down to the courthouse. And I’d take it kindly if you’d try to make a run for it. I like a moving target.”
Henchman: “There ain’t no need to make a Texas twister out of this.”

Wills to Smeed: “I ain’t interested in your ruckus with Alvarado. I ain’t particularly interested that he ain’t among the livin’. I don’t even care who’s got the cash. Just so I get it back.”

Lawyer: “Telling an Apache to do anything is like trying to saddle a cougar.”

One of the ranch hands, to Smeed: “When he (Wills) whispers, people take it for shouting.”
