Quotes4

  • Big Ed Somers: Take it easy, baby. We're ready for him when he comes.
  • Verna Jarrett: I can't stand another night, Ed. Listening. Going crazy. It ain't just like waitin' for some human being who wants to kill ya. Cody ain't human! Fill him full of lead and he'll still come at ya.
  • Big Ed Somers: Plug him and he drops. Same as anybody else.
  • Big Ed Somers: We gotta blow out of here.
  • Cotton Valletti: Cody calls chargin' road blocks unscientific.
  • Big Ed Somers: It ain't safe havin' a crackpot givin' orders. Its about time somebody took over.
  • Cotton Valletti: Who? For instance?
  • Big Ed Somers: A very good friend of mine. Me!
  • Big Ed Somers: What's eatin' you Sugar?
  • Verna Jarrett: You and your big ideas. That's all they are - ideas! "You and me belong together, Sugar. Just leave it to Big Ed." Well, I'm sick of waitin' for you to make your move. You're as scared of Cody as any of 'em. He's still Mr. Big - in prison or out.
  • Verna Jarrett: All right, throw your life away. Stay here and shoot it out! Me? I'm going. I wanna live.
  • Big Ed Somers: Cody might have some ideas about that.
  • Verna Jarrett: I'll go someplace he'll never find me.
  • Big Ed Somers: Your world ain't big enough, Sugar. Not when he finds out what you did to his Ma.
  • Verna Jarrett: You'd tell him?
  • Big Ed Somers: If you run out on me. Why not?
  • Verna Jarrett: But I only did it for you, Ed. She had you covered.
  • Big Ed Somers: Cody still ain't gonna like to hear that she got it in the back. Feel more like stayin' now?
