• Gus McCrae : I could kick you for givin' him all them ideas about Montana. Now we're gonna suffer for the rest of our damn lives.

  Jake Spoon : Yeah, I forgot how determined he can get, once an idea takes root.

• [Jake is about to be hanged] 

  Jake Spoon : Well, hell, boys. I'd damn sight rather be hung by my friends than by a bunch o' damn strangers. Newt... Well, adios, boys. Hope you won't hold it against me. Never meant no harm.

  [spurs his horse, hanging himself before Gus does it] 

• Jake Spoon : A man that will talk to a pig ain't no better than a farmer.

  Gus McCrae : I expected you to own a bank or at least a whorehouse by now Jake. It seems life has been a disappointment to both of us.

  Jake Spoon : That might be so, but by God, I ain't never said a word to a pig.

• Roy Suggs : What did you find?

  Dan Suggs : Nothing but his old watch. Damn sodbusters!

  Jake Spoon : You shot those two men for a watch?

  Dan Suggs : Shot 'em, now I'm going to hang 'em.

  Eddie Suggs : Hang 'em? Dang, you beat all! I've never heard of hanging dead men.

  Dan Suggs : Shot 'em, now I'm gonna hang 'em, then I'm gonna burn 'em! Damn sodbusters. Can't ever be too dead to suit me.
