- Lane: I hate to have to tell you this, Ben, but whether you like it or not. you're a man and you're stuck with it. You'll find yourself standing your ground and fightin' when you oughtta run, speakin' out when you oughtta keep your mouth shut, doin' things that seem wrong to a lot of people but you'll do them all the same.
- Ben Young: You mean like talkin' up for me in Tucson?
- Lane: They were wrong.
- Ben Young: Not if I ain't all the things you think I am. Not if I turn and run.
- Lane: You won't. You're gonna spend the rest of your life gettin' up one more time than you're knocked down, so you better start gettin' used to it.
- The Pinkerton Man: Her name is Lilly, with two "L's." Matt Lowe was never married. Better luck next time!
- Jesse: Lilly.
- Grady: With two "L's."
- Jesse: One of 'em must stand for "liar."
- Sam Turner: All we want to know is what we rode here for.
- Lane: What a gun rides anywhere for - money. The more of it the more chances you take.
- Calhoun: [looking at Mrs. Lowe in a tight-fitting shirt] How'd you like to draw into a pair like that?
- Grady: That's the trouble with always running around wild. You get kind of starved for female attention.
- Lane: When I start plying a woman with whiskey, it's time to throw the key in the water bucket and ride on.
- Jesse: Lane says this is the closest way out. Besides, we know the ground.
- Grady: Yeah, we could get buried in it, too.
- Jesse: Hell, a man can't live forever.
- Grady: Not around Lane, he can't. Oh, hell, come to think of it, it's the best way, anyway.
- Jesse: What's that?
- Grady: You and me, Jesse, we can't get old. What the hell use are we going to be to anybody in a rocking chair?
- Jesse: That's a long ways down the road, Grady.
- Grady: The hell it is.
- Jesse: You're not one damn day older than you was the first time I ever met you.
- Grady: Well, not outside, I ain't, but it's inside that counts. You know, time was I could get drunk for a week, maybe two. Now I go on a bender for six or seven days and I get the blind staggers so bad, I gotta get me to my bed. Yeah, when a man can't hold his liquor, that's the first sign.
