- [Landon's plan to rob a Wells Fargo shipment is contingent upon Billy Wade leading the gang]
- Matt Wade: What makes you think he'll listen to me?
- George Landon: I sorta figure blood is thicker than good resolutions... especially since there's half a million in the pot.
- Matt Wade: George, you know Billy is a stubborn man. Well, I'll see what he says, but you know yourself a reformed gun is worse than a reformed drunk.
- George Landon: Well, it's up to you. No Billy, no deal.
- [the bank has refused to extend Billy's loan]
- Arlene: Bill, what will you do now?
- Billy Wade: Well, there's only one way out - sell the calves and start all over again.
- Arlene: You mean *we* start all over.
- Billy Wade: When I square myself with the bank, there won't be enough left to pay the preacher.
- Arlene: The bank won't give you an extension and neither will I.
- [Matt Wade is on the run after killing a guard and escaping from prison]
- Ted Wade: Billy, can't you do somethin' to help him?
- Billy Wade: There's nothin' we can do to help him. He's goin' to sleep with his boots on and his horse saddled for the rest of his life.
- Billy Wade: They're talkin' about a half million in cash. That kind of money doesn't lie around loose.
- George Landon: No, not often, Billy. Just once in a while, when they run short of cash around here and the bank has a big shipment from the Federal Reserve in San Francisco.
- Billy Wade: Yeah, I remember those hauls, those Wells Fargo wagons from Benton - twenty shotgun and rifle guards.
- George Landon: No. They only use six guns now - since you retired.
- George Landon: Billy, don't forget about Ike Garvey. He calls himself my silent partner. Let's make that a fact.
- Ike Garvey: Billy Wade was in here yesterday.
- George Landon: Oh, that... could I help that? Well, he just came in to see if I would throw something his way is all.
- Ike Garvey: So you threw me to him.
- George Landon: But why would I do something like that?
- Ike Garvey: Because it's exactly what I would do if I wanted to get rid of you!
- George Landon: You're talking nonsense.
- Ike Garvey: Probably, but I'm dissolving our partnership.
- [Ike shoots Landon]
- [Billy's gang is about to go into action]
- Billy Wade: Well, your last chance to pull out, so say your say one at a time.
- Hoke: That breakfast bacon sure smells good.
- Dixon: Well, anybody can die in bed.
- Kolloway: You couldn't have a prettier day for it.
- Ike Garvey: That's close enough, Billy. Start talkin'.
- Billy Wade: I'll give it to you fast, Ike. I'm countin' myself in.
- Ike Garvey: In what? A hole in Boot Hill?
- Billy Wade: Let's take that express wagon and settle our personal dispute later.
- Ike Garvey: We're two to your one, Billy. We can settle it now.
- Billy Wade: No argument - but you wouldn't have enough men left to stick up a Sunday school.
- Billy Wade: There's the bank shipment. The rest of the loot is on Dixon there.
- Marshal Sam Jennings: Then he's sure worth more dead than alive.
- [last lines]
- Marshal Sam Jennings: That arm's not going to give you an excuse not to get married on Sunday, is it?
- Billy Wade: No, sir! Hey, I'll bet I'll be the first man in the territory to go from outlaw to in-law in one day, huh?
