Vienna:
[Referring to her long-ago love for Johnny Guitar] When a fire burns itself out, all you have left is ashes.

Vienna:
[Spoken to Johnny Guitar, with a certain scornful bitterness] A man can lie, steal... and even kill. But as long as he hangs on to his pride, he's still a man. All a woman has to do is slip - once. And she's a "tramp!" Must be a great comfort to you to be a man.

Vienna:
Down there I sell whiskey and cards. All you can buy up these stairs is a bullet in the head. Now which do you want?

Vienna:
If you remember, McGyvers gave me 24 hours to close. I drew out my own money, paid off my boys... and I'm closed. You can't buy a drink or turn a card. I'm sitting here in my own house, minding my own business, playing my own piano. I don't think you can make a crime out of that.

Vienna:
The railroad's sending in people by tens, twenties, hundreds, and thousands! You can't keep them all out! Tell them, Mr. Andrews!
Mr. Andrews: I think you put it rather well.
John McIvers: You're not buildin' no depot here.
Mr. Andrews: That's for Vienna to decide.
Vienna: [Brief pause] Vienna decided!
Mr. Andrews: I think you put it rather well.
John McIvers: You're not buildin' no depot here.
Mr. Andrews: That's for Vienna to decide.
Vienna: [Brief pause] Vienna decided!

Who are you?! And you, and you, to break into my house with your angry faces and evil minds?!
