- Josh Faraday: [after watching Jack Horne walk away] I believe that bear was wearing people's clothes.
- Goodnight Robicheaux: This reminds me of what my daddy used to say.
- Billy Rocks: What's that, Goody?
- [waits for an answer]
- Billy Rocks: What?
- Goodnight Robicheaux: Well, my daddy used to say a lot of things, you know.
- [both laugh hysterically]
- Goodnight Robicheaux: What a merry band, we are. Me a Grey, Chisolm a Blue, Billy a mysterious man of the Orient, a drunk Irishman, a Texican, a female and her gentlemen caller. This is not going to end well.
- Vasquez: I'm Mexican, cabrón. No such thing as a "Texican."
- Goodnight Robicheaux: Try telling that to my granddaddy. He died at the Alamo. New Orleans Greys, long barracks, bayonets. Blood, teeth. Mauled by a horde of teeming brown devils.
- Vasquez: My grandfather was one of those devils, you know. Toluca Battalion. Hey, maybe my grandfather killed your grandfather, huh?
- Goodnight Robicheaux: What a charming thought. I sense we are bonding.
- Josh Faraday: [townsfolk all staring as they eat their dinner] Like being in one of them damn zoos.
- Goodnight Robicheaux: Fame is a sarcophagus.
- Josh Faraday: You read those in a book, or you just make 'em up as you go?
- Goodnight Robicheaux: I'll try to use one-syllable words from now on.
- Josh Faraday: What... what's a syllable?
- [Robicheaux laughs]
- Emma Cullen: That man murdered my husband. Killed him dead in the middle of the street.
- Sam Chisolm: So you seek revenge?
- Emma Cullen: I seek righteousness, as should we all. But I'll take revenge.
- Josh Faraday: [considering their plight] Reminds me of this fella I used to know. Fell off a five-story building. Passed each floor on the way down, people inside heard him say : "So far, so good!" He's dead now.
- Josh Faraday: I make good on my horse yet, Sam?
- Sam Chisolm: So far, so good.
- Jack Horne: I knew that tomorrow was gonna be a dark day. And now that there's one less of us, gonna be darker. But to be in the service of others with men that I respect, like you all - well, I shouldn't have to ask for more than that.
- Preacher: The spirit is willing, but we are not killers.
- Sam Chisolm: Most aren't, until they're looking down the barrel of a gun.
- Sheriff Harp: Quite a batch of strays.
- Jack Horne: I'll say a prayer for you. You know, a *little* prayer.
- McCann: Yeah, you'll make a hell of a rug.
- Josh Faraday: [standing behind him on the saloon porch] And you'll be murdered - by the world's greatest lover.
- Josh Faraday: [to pitiful townsfolk on the practice range] Go on home, polish your rifles. Maybe the glint 'll scare 'em off.
- Vasquez: Never trust a people who bury their dead above the ground.
- Goodnight Robicheaux: Don't call the alligator "big mouth" till you cross the river.
- Emma Cullen: Don't be afraid. I have assembled these men and offered fair pay.
- Rose Creek Barber: Who picked you to deal on our behalf?
- Emma Cullen: Seems I was the only one with balls enough to do so. So I did.
- Emma Cullen: [narrating]
- [last lines]
- Emma Cullen: What ever they were in life, here, at the end, each man stood with courage and honor. They fought for the ones who couldn't fight for themselves, and the died for them, too. All to win something that didn't belong to them. It was - magnificent.
- Josh Faraday: [walks up behind her during target practice] Pretty. I mean good. Your shooting is good. Do it again.
- Emma Cullen: [interrupts him with a shot] I had a father, thank you.
- Josh Faraday: I didn't.
- [empties his pistol in a distant tree branch]
- Josh Faraday: Whoo! God dang it, I'm good.
- Josh Faraday: Our paths cross again. To what do I owe the pleasure?
- Sam Chisolm: Took a job. Looking for some men to join me.
- Josh Faraday: Is there money in it?
- Emma Cullen: [tosses him a jingling bag]
- Josh Faraday: And who's she?
- Sam Chisolm: "Joan of Arc."
- Emma Cullen: My name's Emma Cullen. And this is my associate, Teddy Q.
- Josh Faraday: Well, I do have an affinity for shiny things.
- [tosses the bag back to her]
- Josh Faraday: Is it difficult?
- Sam Chisolm: Impossible.
- Josh Faraday: [to the brother he has spared] I didn't wanna kill him. He shouldn't 'a touched my guns.
- Sam Chisolm: Powder Dan ran with an outlaw name of July Bully, may he rest in peace.
- Bartender: He's dead?
- Sam Chisolm: Yes, sir.
- Bartender: How'd he die.
- Sam Chisolm: [whispers] I whispered in his ear.
- Bartender: Yeah, what's that?
- Sam Chisolm: Come here.
- [both lean in]
- Sam Chisolm: Bring them in.
- [guns cocking all around the bar]
- Bartholomew Bogue: [crawls into church to get away from Sam] You are a God-fearing man!
- [Sam removes his hat for a minute, and steps into the church after Bogue]
- Billy Rocks: Knives, there's nothing to it.
- [shases open some dummies, everyone walks away]
- Billy Rocks: Hey, come back!
- Vasquez: Well, the lady just did some poking and sticking for you. Maybe you should consider returning the favor, you know?
- Emma Cullen: Why won't you at least listen? We're simple farmers. Decent, hard-working people being driven from our homes. Men slaughtered in cold blood. Women and children without food or essentials. All because some man named Bogue wants to mine our valley and take it from us.
- Josh Faraday: [pulls out a gun] This is Ethel, don't you ever disrespect her!
- Josh Faraday: [pulls out another gun] It's Maria you can disrespect!
- Vasquez: [drunk] My Maria? I have five Maria!
- [laughs sloppily]
- Josh Faraday: [from the trailer]
- [one of Bogue's gunslingers is blasted back into an open coffin]
- Josh Faraday: I'm sure the undertaker will get some good business out of this.
- Josh Faraday: [from the trailer] Allow me to show you something.
- Sam Chisolm: What's this?
- Emma Cullen: Everything we have. That's what it's worth to us.
- Sam Chisolm: Been offered a lot for my work but never everything.
- Emma Cullen: Mister. Mister! Do you intend to make me chase? I have a proposition.
- Sam Chisolm: And I'm wary of propositions
- Sam Chisolm: You understand what it means when you start something like this?
- Emma Cullen: We did not start this, Mr. Chisolm.
- Bartender: Come on, hey. Settle down, mister. Come on. Come on, easy. I got a family, mister.
- Sam Chisolm: They're better off without you.
- [Bartender reaches for a gun, Sam shoots him]
- Sam Chisolm: Somebody fetch the sheriff.
- Bartholomew Bogue: I come here for gold. Gold. This country has long equated democracy with capitalism, capitalism with *God*. So you're standing not only in the way of - progress and capital. You're standing in the way of God!
- Sam Chisolm: My name is Sam Chisolm. I'm a duly sworn warrant officer of the circuit court in Wichita, Kansas. I'm also a licensed peace officer in the Indian Territories, Arkansas, Nebraska, and seven other states. Now, this man is wanted on charges in Nebraska, expedited by federal writ, under Common State Law Enforcement Act.
- Matthew Cullen: hat kind of man are you? What'd these people ever do to you? Huh? For what, Bogue? For land? For land?
- Gavin David: Bogue is a businessman. If you just reason with him, he'll give you a fair share.
- Fenton: A fair share, Gavin? You're the only one making money here! You and your whores.
- Gavin David: Now, Fenton, that ain't fair. You know that. You were there the other night!
- Earl: rginia City? Three days past? Best you remember who'd you cheat out of $50 in a card game!
- Josh Faraday: I assure you I did not have to cheat to beat the likes of you two.
- Josh Faraday: If you want to kill me, kill me. If you're gonna rob me, rob me. But I will not go in that mine. There's rats in there.
- Goodnight Robicheaux: We have heard the chimes at midnight. Have we not? So what's the play here, Sam, huh?
- Sam Chisolm: Where's your tribe?
- Red Harvest: The elders told me my path is different.
- Sam Chisolm: My path is different, too. My path. Our path. We go to fight wicked men. Probably, we all die.
- Red Harvest: I'm called Red Harvest.
- Red Harvest: You speak Comanche?
- Sam Chisolm: Some. You speak - white man's English?
- Red Harvest: Some.
