- Paladin: Well, unfortunately, you can't be allowed to go around killing everybody you don't like.
- Manfred Holt: Yeah, it does sound like I got me some bad habits.
- Manfred Holt: Oh and, Paladin, don't try anything fancy like wingin' a shoulder or the leg. You know, a man like me you either kill or he kills you.
- Paladin: I know.
- Manfred Holt: That pump, when the next drop of water falls.
- Sheriff Jake Ludlow: Hang later, shoot now. What's the difference?
- Paladin: That's an interesting question, Sheriff. What is the difference between murder and justice?
- Manfred Holt: What does Manfred stand for?
- Paladin: It's an old German name. It means man of peace.
- Manfred Holt: Man of peace? What do you know.
- Paladin: I'm taking you back to Laramie.
- Manfred Holt: To be hung at a county fair while they hawk buttons off my shirt. Thanks.
- Paladin: He alone?
- Sheriff Jake Ludlow: He's got a saddle horse and a pack horse.
- Paladin: Apparently you don't need any help from me.
- Sheriff Jake Ludlow: Unless you want to speed things things up a little and dig a grave.
- Paladin: Holt might surrender.
- Sheriff Jake Ludlow: You don't think I'm gonna spend two weeks on the road to Laramie with Holt? He's already killed two of my deputies.
- Paladin: And outsmarted you a few times.
- Sheriff Jake Ludlow: If you cross Holt's trail, say away from him. I know eleven men that have tried to outdraw him and they're wearing marble hats.
- Paladin: Hubert's a fine old name. It means bright mind. A good name for a scholar.
- Manfred Holt: My boy ain't gonna be no scholar. He's gonna be a man. I'll set him off on the right foot when I get there and I give him his present.
- Paladin: I'm sure you will, Holt.
- Manfred Holt: Hey, ah, my front name's Manfred, you know, Manfred.
