• Jed : [to Cat, on the train]  Ma'am, I apologize for my disgusting condition and I assure you I will not inflict myself on you any further.

• Cat Ballou : Mrs. Parker didn't introduce us, I'm Catherine Ballou.

  Jed : I'm drunk as a skunk.

• Jed : Build you life anew, ma'am. This studyin' on revenge is just turnin' your back on the future and lettin' the dead past eat at your heart.

  Jed : On the run, ma'am. Hiding out in a crowd.

• Jed : Ma'am, I can understand your objection to rustlin' - a girl with your background and gentle upbringing - but it's the only way we can raise money.

  Cat Ballou : Jed.

  Jed : We'll stay, ma'am, it'll be our pleasure to do what we can.

  Cat Ballou : We don't need him them.

  Clay Boone : I think you do. My Uncle here ain't never shot at a man. It's against his principles.

  Cat Ballou : Is that true?

  Jed : Oh yes, ma'am, that's true. Neither has he.

  Clay Boone : But we'll stay and do what we can. As long as there ain't no trouble.

• Jed : Hold on. ma'am.

  Clay Boone : Listen, Miss Ballou.

• Jed : Hallelujah, Brothers! I am here to comfort the sinner and return the stray lamb to the fold. Let them what's troubled, let them what's vexed o' mind take heart. There are many good things of comfort in the Bible, Sister. Indeed, there are. It's a better world we're all bound for. Where trouble don't come around, Sister. And earthly care is forgotten. And green pastures wait the tired sinner, and honey flows like water.
