- Gil Favor: Since when in the everloving world was you ever paid to like each other? I ain't a community project. It's my decision. He does his job, he stays. Any more objections?
- Simon Royce: There's only three things in this life that are real quiet: Falling snow, the hour just before dawn, and the mouth of a man just dead.
- Danny Clayton: Experience? Rowdy, you're looking at the Grand Daddy Cassanova of the whole Southwest. I bet I've kissed more girls than you've ever seen.
- Rowdy Yates: He talks a heck of a game, doesn't he?
- Danny Clayton: Not only talk. Someday I'll show you my little address book. There ain't a town kicking that hasn't got some girl waiting for Danny Clayton to come back.
- Gil Favor: What do they think they are doing?
- Jim Quince: Looks like a bunch cut out on them.
- Gil Favor: They must have been riding with their heads tucked under their arms. Put someone else on flank. Tell 'em I want to talk to 'em.
- Jim Quince: I dunno. We're spreading out pretty thin now, Mr Favor. Anybody can make a little mistake.
- Gil Favor: Far as I'm concerned, there's only one size of mistake. BIG!
- Gil Favor: You're not exactly the picture of a guardian angel.
- Joe Scarlet: Well, he didn't mean no wrong, Mr Favor. He's a nice kid.
- Gil Favor: I hope that makes the dust a little easier to take.
- Simon Royce: I'm kinda choosy about the company I keep. It's an old habit of mine. Not about to draw on an inside straight until I try on the dealer's coat. See, the way I figure it, man would be a fool not to get the lay of the land before he tried to move in.
