Leonard Eels: Your uh... cousin is a very charming young lady.
Jeff Bailey: No he isn't. His name is Norman, and he's a bookmaker in Cleveland Ohio.

Stella Atkins: But then you're not a marshal or a sheriff.
Jeff Castle: He's a town-tamer.
Clint Tollinger: The difference is there are no rules in my end of the business except maybe one - never stay in one town too long.

Stella Atkins: Then what are you going to do?
Clint Tollinger: Nothing. I warned him; I thought I made it pretty clear.
Stella Atkins: Yes, but if you warned a child and he does something foolish anyway, you try to stop him from getting hurt.
Clint Tollinger: Oh, I see. You think Jeff is a child, huh?
Stella Atkins: Partly...
Clint Tollinger: Well, I think he's a man. He might be a little young and bullheaded about some things, but if there were more men like him around, I might not be here.

Marshal Lee Sims: You remind me of a hungry lion I once seen pace in a cage in St. Louis.
Clint Tollinger: I'm hiding out.
Marshal Lee Sims: You? From what?
Clint Tollinger: Questions I can't answer.

Thompson: Put the gun down now. The guy behind you has a bigger one.
Dan Milner: Let's keep it nice and polite, huh? Have him introduce himself.

Lije Evans: I guess we'll have to fight, Dick.
Dick Summers: Well, all right, but some of us are gonna have to settle for a piece of ground a little short of Oregon.

Mark Foster: [to his henchmen] ... don't forget, no matter how foolproof a thing might be, one wrong move might ruin everything, so be on your toes, all of you.
Rip Austin: [to the other gang members after Foster has left] I certainly got to hand it to the boss. The whole thing is foolproof.

Saul Atkins: You're right, of course, only you shouldn't have told him off in front of Stella when he's trying to prove to her he's a man now, and not the kid she grew up with.
Clint Tollinger: He chose the time, the place and the audience. Kind of a big audience for plans like that.

Jim Reedy: Well, now, I reckon it was downright foolish for Slim to draw agin' you. We maybe got off a little on the wrong foot. We're goin' back home now and we won't come to town no more carryin' our guns. Reckon that's what you want, isn't it?
Clint Tollinger: Yeah, that's what a want. Now you take Slim's body and bury him out on the prairie. It doesn't look nice for a town as small as Sheridan to have a graveyard as big as we've got.

Pancho Villa: [Lee is preparing to take off] Wait. Fiero is going with you.
Lee Arnold: What? Now wait a minute, Chief. Not with... Chief, it's tough enough up there as it is.
Pancho Villa: No, if you go up there alone, you could fly away. If you try that with Fiero... Fiero will shoot you.
Lee Arnold: Oh? And without a pilot, what's Fiero gonna do?
Pancho Villa: Fiero will shoot you.
Lee Arnold: [thinks, and then grimaces]
