Quotes 

• Paladin : In ancient days, the barbers were also surgeons. This is the nineteenth century, and if I want any blood let I'll get a doctor to do it.

• Gene Morgan : Do you think you could find out why he's become so almighty contentious lately?

  Paladin : I think that's where my job begins.

• Paladin : I work for him and part of my job is to keep you from annoying him.

  Grady Stewart : Annoying?

  Paladin : That's right. Annoying. The rest of my job is to keep him from killing you. And that's the part of the job I like least, well, right now.

  Grady Stewart : Well, if you're Morgan's man, there's something you can give him for me.

• Paladin : Mr Morgan, has it occurred to you that you might decide to hold onto a couple of people you're fond of, if you didn't make such a big issue out of a few handfuls of dirt?

  Gene Morgan : Often. I suppose I can let Grady have those few acres but there's 25 years of my life in this land. I don't want to be stubborn and difficult but I can't change that easy. I've worked for so long and so hard.

  Paladin : Does Grady know that?

  Gene Morgan : He must know it.

• Paladin : I'm still concerned about your brother.

  Frank Gault : The way a hunter is concerned about a deer.

• Paladin : Common sense is never any match for Cupid.

• Paladin : I know this is hard for you to accept but Gault is trying to force Grady into a pair of boots that are much too large for him. And Grady is so anxious to become a man that he may not live to see the day.

• Gene Morgan : That boy? Hmph. Sometimes I can outdraw him, outshoot him, or spank him. Wouldn't even be close.

  Paladin : Cigar? You might have made a strategic error in anatomy that could cost you. Should have hit him on the chin, not the seat of his pants.
