Rafe Covington : You shoot 'em with that thing, you're just gonna make 'em angry. One's all we need.
J.T. Langston : They're just buffalo.
Rafe Covington : Well, they'll be gone soon enough.
J.T. Langston : Gone? They're thick as flies on a bull's ass.
Rafe Covington : Ten years from now, they'll be nothing but a memory.

Joe Gill : [talking about meat] Look here. This kid's killed this critter twice.

Joe Gill : Mind your elders, boy. Mind your elders.
Joe Gill : You know, I've been around this place a long time. I was here till Barkow moved Mrs. Rodney to town... and then he run me off.
J.T. Langston : Why does she listen to him?

Joe Gill : Maybe.
Rafe Covington : Maybe both.
Rock Mullaney : [door opens, Rock enters with guns pointed at him] Is it Christmas yet?
Rafe Covington : You don't look rich.

Joe Gill : Joe Gill.
Rock Mullaney : Pleased to meet you, Joe.
Joe Gill : Welcome here to Crazy Woman Ranch.

Joe Gill : [all four are cleaning their guns] Well, one time he killed three fellas, cut their heads off. Hung them above the pawnshop, right by a sign that said: "Money to loan".
Joe Gill : Then he's having supper with a guy one time... chased him down the end of main street... killed him, skinned him, nailed his hide to the barn door.
Joe Gill : He's tougher than the back wall of a shooting gallery. And that, boys... is Bo Dorn.
J.T. Langston : Sounds like one scary fella.
Rafe Covington : Does, doesn't he?

Rock Mullaney : I'm betting that somebody is you, boss.
Rafe Covington : No bet.
Joe Gill : So you're gonna go to town and face this Bo Dorn fella... just to keep a promise to Charlie.

Joe Gill : Walter, you ain't invited.

[Anne playing piano]
Rafe Covington : "Moonlight Sonata"
Anne Rodney : You don't look like a man who knows Beethoven.
Rafe Covington : I don't. My mother used to play that.
Anne Rodney : Really?
Rafe Covington : Don't I look like a man who had a mother?
Anne Rodney : I guess I was condescending.
Rafe Covington : You were. I read somewhere Beethoven used to wear his clothes 'til they came apart and fell off his body.
Anne Rodney : You can read. Another surprise.
Rafe Covington : Even write a word or two. Short ones.
Anne Rodney : A wit. It's rare in these parts.
Rafe Covington : Rare as sassy women I expect.
Anne Rodney : And I suppose you prefer your women ignorant and docile.

Rafe Covington : Yep, today wasn't my day to die.
Joe Gill : Hell, the day ain't over yet.
