Big Jake

Jake:
And now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all... your fault, my fault, nobody's fault... it won't matter - I'm gonna blow your head off. No matter what else happens, no matter who gets killed I'm gonna blow your head off.

Jake:
You can call Dad, you can call me Father, you can call me Jacob and you can call me Jake. You can call me a dirty old son-of-a-b*tch, but if you EVER call me Daddy again, I'll finish this fight.

John Fain:
Who are you?

Jake:
Jacob McCandles.

John Fain:
I thought you were dead.

Jake:
Not hardly.

O'Brian:
They tell me you killed two good men in a fair fight tonight. That true?

James McCandles:
No, three; countin' you.

Martha McCandles:
They're very dangerous men. They've already killed ten people, many of them you know... Juan and his family...

Jake:
Tina and the little boy?

Martha McCandles:
And Moses Brown.

Jake:
Old Mose... lousy cook.

Pop Dawson:
Say, you don't look too good. The sight of blood bother you?

Jake:
Only my own.

Jake:
Throw a blanket over 'im (a horse).

James McCandles:
I can ride without a blanket.

Jake:
I'm not worrying about your butt! It's his back!

Jake:
Give us a room.

Hotel desk clerk:
The dog is all right, but, ah, we do not allow Indians.

Jake:
Well, if you can shoot that far, a quarter of a mile straight along the edge of my nose is a mountain buck. Shoot it.

Michael McCandles:
I don't kill to make a point, Father.

Jake:
Michael, there's two reason to kill - survival and meat. We need meat!

Jake:
You're short on ears and long on mouth!

John Fain:
A ranch sure is a deserted looking place during a round-up.

Jake:
What do you do when cockroaches get in the woodwork, Michael?

James McCandles:
Smoke 'em out?

Jake:
That's right.

Michael McCandles:
Why not wait for them to make the first move?

Jake:
Because waiting is good for them and bad for us. You get impatient, nervy, careless and maybe dead.

John Fain:
You come close, mister, but no cigar!

James McCandles:
I am moved by your faith in someone you haven't seen since he was sixteen years old, Daddy!

Jacob 'Big Jake' McCandles:
Daddy?

James McCandles:
Daddy.

Jacob 'Big Jake' McCandles:
Well, son; since you don't have any respect for your elders, it's time somebody taught you some respect for your betters!

James McCandles:
Why, if you weren't my father...

Jacob 'Big Jake' McCandles:
Go ahead. I give you leave.

"You must think I'm a real dangerous man."
