Jesse Helms:
Can I ask you one more thing? Why'd you tell me everything?

Seymour Redfield:
Well, I figure the sand in my hourglass is running a little low, and somebody ought to know the truth about what really happened. Just keep it under your sombrero, will ya, until after I'm gone?

Jesse Helms:
Thank you. [shakes hands]

[first lines]

Tom Sullivan:
You know I gotta bring you in.

Duke Donovan:
You're gonna have to kill me first.

Tom Sullivan:
Yeah, I know.

Duke Donovan:
Do it.

Tom Sullivan:
I can't. [collapses gun down]

Duke Donovan:
Do it.

Tom Sullivan:
Gaaaa! [shoots]

Seymour Redfield:
You know, I could've blown your goddamn head off. And I'd've been well within my rights. But, since I just saved your life, why don't you have a drink with me?

Warden Cullen Logan:
[addressing new prisoners] You'll find your stay here to be a tough, but a fair one. We work a six-day week and rest on Sundays. That's reserved for the good Lord. I don't care who you are or what you did. But in here, you're mine. The government of this great territory has asked us to assist in the construction of a new section of prison. You'll get two squares a day, but you'll have to work damn hard for them. However, in the end, you'll manage to do something you failed to do in your previous lives - make a positive contribution to society.

Silas Barber:
Did it really go down the way they say it did?

Duke Donovan:
You know, in all my years of working with the law, there's one thing I learn.

Silas Barber:
And what's that?

Duke Donovan:
Nothing ever went down the way they say it did.

Cage Dalton:
[about hangin' offense] It's just funny how a man can kill innocent women and children and get life in prison. But you take a man's cow? [laughs] That's a whole 'nother goddamn deal, ain't it?

[repeated line]

Garrett Kain:
Ladies! Lock-down.

Levi Hardin:
Why the hell do you come in here with your mulo slave who stares at people? It's rude, no?

Duke Donovan:
No, he's not rude. He just doesn't like scumbags.

Cyrus Parker:
No, that ain't it. I just don't like *you*.

Cyrus Parker:
[to Duke] You ever wonder why I helped you escape out that prison? It's 'cause you help me remember how I used to walk. And I'm mighty beholden to you.
