- Belle Starr: Coleman Younger! Seems like you folks are havin' a real nice party in there.
- Cole Younger: I expect so, with free food and drink and all.
- Belle Starr: How come I wasn't invited?
- Cole Younger: 'Cause you're a whore, Belle.
- Belle Starr: I might be; but at least I ain't a cheap one.
- [Cole Younger and Sam Starr are about to fight over Belle]
- Cole Younger: What does the winner get?
- Belle Starr: Nothin' both of you ain't already had.
- Cole Younger: Don't hardly seem worth it.
- Belle Starr: It ain't. You're both crazy, but you do keep me amused. I am having a *real* good time.
- Cole Younger: [to Bob Younger, after losing a card cut to Belle Star while haggling for her services] Women... love 'em.
- Frank James: Mr. Rixley?
- Jacob Rixley: That's right.
- Frank James: My name is Frank James. I came here to turn myself in. Here's my gun. I want something in return. I want to be able to bury my brother.
- Jacob Rixley: Suppose I don't agree to your terms?
- Frank James: Then I'll kill you.
- [Now points his gun at Mr. Rixley, cocks hammer back]
- Cole Younger: When this is all over, I'm goin' to write a book; make myself more famous than I already am.
- Frank James: I trust you'll give me a copy.
- Cole Younger: Nope. You gotta pay, Frank; you gotta pay.
- [Jesse is meeting with the Ford Brothers]
- Jesse James: It's crooked.
- Robert Ford: What?
- Jesse James: That sampler; it ain't straight
- [turns his back on the Fords]
- Robert Ford: [pulls his gun] I shot Jesse James.
- [shoots Jesse in the back]
- Cole Younger: [Cole Younger and Sam Starr are about to fight over Belle] Well... I'm glad I caught you in a good mood.
- [Rixley is trying to get Ed Miller to inform on the James/Younger gang]
- Ed Miller: Let me tell you one damn thing. I turn 'em in and I'm gonna get killed by one of their relatives sure as hell. Now I got six months to go here for bustin' up a place drunk, so I'll just take my chances, all right? Besides, Jesse just might change his mind, and he pays better wages than you do, Pinkerton Man.
- Jacob Rixley: Mrs. James, we are going to search your house. I don't suppose it would do any good to ask nicely?
- Zee Mimms/James: It won't do you any good to ask at all.
- Jacob Rixley: You know, those men of yours are going to wind up dead or they're going to wind up worse.
- Engineer: [during a train robbery] Who the hell do you think you are, Jesse James?
- Bob Younger: Hell, no! I'm Bob Younger. Jesse James rides with the Youngers. Now, stop the damn train!
- Cole Younger: You still chargin' $15?
- Belle Starr: [laughing] I sure am.
- Cole Younger: [shaking his head] Lot of money.
- Belle Starr: Well, at the rate you're losin' you won't have to worry about it. Course you could always hold up another bank; scare some more innocent people half to death.
- Cole Younger: [regarding the Northfield Raid] That's kinda off our range, ain't it, Jesse? There's still a lot of banks and cathouses in Missouri we ain't done.
- Cole Younger: [Jesse has decided to leave the Youngers for the posse to find] I like it better this way, Jesse; I get to see you run.
- Frank James: [gazing at Wilhelmina across a crowded dance floor] I got a question for you.
- Clell Miller: Fire away, Frank. Fire away and fall back.
- Frank James: You ever been in love?
- Clell Miller: Oh God, yes. It was terrible. An affliction. Really miserable. Nothing but trouble. Drove me crazy.
- Frank James: That bad? Really?
- Clell Miller: Yes. She was wonderful.
- Jacob Rixley: What do you and your brothers think about a life sentence? I mean, you're lucky they don't allow hanging in this state. Come on, Cole, tell me what you think about this?
- Cole Younger: Ah, hell. We played a rough game... and we lost.
- Jacob Rixley: The funeral will be in Chicago and the Governor will be there.
- Mortician: Well, I'm sure it will cheer their souls just to hear you say that.
- Jim Younger: [before the Northfield Raid] Maybe we need to send a couple of people down there and look things over before we just ride in there.
- Jesse James: Clell's already scouted it out. What's wrong with you, Jim? Talkin' soft is something I'd expect from Cole or Frank.
- Cole Younger: I gave up tryin' to talk sense to you a long time ago, Jesse.
- Jacob Rixley: I want your sons, Mrs. Samuel.
- Zerelda Cole Samuel: What do you want them for?
- Jacob Rixley: For robbing banks, ma'am.
- Beth Mimms: Jim Younger, there are some things that a gentleman does not ask a lady!
- Bob Younger: Beth, when you're old enough to call yourself a lady, I'll keep that in mind.
- [on Jesse's relationship with Zee Mimms]
- Cole Younger: The next thing you know, he'll ask her to marry him and settle down.
- Frank James: The first part, anyway.
- Engineer: [Bob jumps into the pilot house, guns drawn] What the hell are you aiming to do?
- Bob Younger: I ain't aiming to do nothin', I'm doin' it.
- Bob Younger: I wonder when that posse's gonna get here.
- Cole Younger: Ain't gonna be no posse. They'll get tired after ten minutes, head home, and call the Pinkertons.
- Bob Younger: Then why are we standing guard?
- Cole Younger: Because every now and then, I'm wrong.
- Clell Miller: I'll bring the blind by a way they know not. I'll lead them in the paths they've not known. I will make darkness light before them and I'll make crooked things straight. Isaiah 42:16.
- Belle Starr: You and me seem to be gettin' along real good, you might think about making an honest woman out of me.
- Cole Younger: You're serious, aren't you?
- Belle Starr: Don't I sounds it?
- Cole Younger: What? You gotta be crazy.
- Belle Starr: Wanna found out what it's like to be respectable. For a while, anyway.
- Cole Younger: You'll never be respectable, Belle. You're a whore! You'll always be a whore. That's why I like you.
- Beth Mimms: Ain't you heard the news? I'm engaged to Ed Miller.
- Jim Younger: Ed Miller? He ain't no good. 'sides, you're too young for all that.
- Beth Mimms: I'm 19 on the 23rd of September. I don't want to wait around forever like Zee did. And I don't want you sayin' nothin' bad about Ed just 'cause Jesse picked on him.
- Jim Younger: Well, a few months ago I was pushin' you in a swing.
- Beth Mimms: Well, while you was pushin' other people was noticin'.
- Jim Younger: I noticed you, Beth. Ah, you don't wanna rush into things, Beth. Can't undo 'em later.
- Beth Mimms: Can't undo this one. Ed's already bought land over past Russellville. God, we told everybody.
- Jim Younger: Well, there ain't much else to say, I guess.
- Beth Mimms: You can wish me a good life.
- Jim Younger: I wish you that.
- Frank James: Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen, just takin' a permanent loan from the Rock Island payroll.
