- Norbert Datry: A kingsnake eats nothing but other snakes... preferably rattlesnakes. That is his sole diet. You see, it would go against my nature to cheat an honest man. But the other kind... I sleep like a baby!
- Jack Fleetwood: Did you ever go fishing, Norbert?
- Norbert Datry: Sure, lots of times. I'm good at fishing.
- Jack Fleetwood: All right. If you want to catch a fish, you have to think like one. You have to think, where would I be hiding? Gold mining is like that. You have to think like what you want to find... and ask yourself, "If I was gold, where would I be hiding" - and look there!
- Jack Fleetwood: Try to understand, Norbert, finding gold isn't the hard part.
- Norbert Datry: It's not?
- Jack Fleetwood: No, the hard part is keeping it.
- Harry McDonacle: You don't know it, but you're about to witness a legend being made.
- Brittany: You look the same to me.
- Narrator: In the American West, a gun touched by evil passed from hand to hand, changing the lives of all who possessed it. As its legend grew, it became known as... "the dead man's gun".
- Palmer Lewis: I cannot in good conscience allow myself to be party to this deception.
- Jack Fleetwood: How much?
- Palmer Lewis: I beg your pardon?
- Jack Fleetwood: How much is your conscience going to cost me?
- Brittany: Aren't you supposed to be married?
- Harry McDonacle: Forbidden fruit always tastes the sweetest.
- Brittany: What about you wife?
- Harry McDonacle: What about her? She stuck with me when I was nobody. She has faith in me. She's kind... loyal.
- Brittany: If that's all you want, Harry, why not get a dog?
- Narrator: Harry McDonacle is a small-time character with a big-time ambition... an ego in search of a career.
- Dobbs: My dear, in life it doesn't pay to examine anything too closely. You'll find that even the most perfect rose has a blemish.
- Brittany: Harry, what are you doing? He's just a boy!
- Harry McDonacle: Well, if he's this stupid, he's not going to grow up to be a man, now is he?
