Quotes 

• Laird : I'll give you $1,000 now, if you promise to accept this job. One thousand later when you complete it.

  Paladin : I spend two thousand a year on cigars, Mr Laird.

• Laird : Better offer? How much?

  Paladin : Mr Laird, this offer has nothing to do with money.

• Paladin : I want to see Phyllis Thackeray. And I want to see her now. And if she's been harmed in any way, you two men can toss coins to see which one I take apart first.

• Paladin : It's easy enough to talk, to find the right words, the common words that men exchange with women. But you and I have grown too close for that.

  Dr. Phyllis Thackeray : That's a frightening thought.

  Paladin : It is. Because we're the kind of people we are. We're neither one of us ready for marriage, are we.

  Dr. Phyllis Thackeray : You're certainly keeping me awake.

• Fred Cooley : You got a specialty?

  Paladin : I use a little of everything.

  Fred Cooley : In the end it comes down to that.

  Paladin : If there are no alternatives.

• Dr. Phyllis Thackeray : I'm confused. Are you proposing to me?

  Paladin : No. I've been explaining why I haven't proposed.
