- Billy 'The Kid' Bonney: This long, unendin' thing of my soul. Maybe it's my own damn fault what people think of me. Sometimes, when I'm alone, I get this feelin', like nothing's good or ever's gonna be. And I try tellin' myself the feelin' ain't real. I try. But..but deep down, I know. Guess that means ain't no good moment I ever had weren't a lie. You ever feel that way?
- Rio Cutler: What way?
- Billy 'The Kid' Bonney: The way, like the only reason you ain't afraid what happens next is 'cause you know there ain't nothin' you can do for it to mean a goddamn thing.
- Rio Cutler: I know what happens next. And it's the only thing that matters.
- Billy 'The Kid' Bonney: Well..I wish I was more like you, kid. I truly do.
- Sheriff Pat Garrett: It doesn't matter what's true. It matters the story they tell when you're gone.
