Hoag
- [holding a replica of the "Venus di Milo" statue]
- Hoag: Hey, girls, she's here - the Venus!
- First Saloon Girl: Venus who?
- Mary Hoag: Di Milo
- Second Saloon Girl: Did she ever play Mahogany Hall in New Orleans?
- Hoag: Nah, she's imported from Europe - the most beautiful woman who ever lived.
- Tom Sabin: Sure covers a lot of women.
- Tom Sabin: Last night, a couple of ranchers lost their herds.
- Hoag: Is that so? Probably just some of the boys lettin' off a little steam.
- Tom Sabin: They're lettin' off a little lead, too. One of the ranchers got killed.
- Hoag: Sabin, take a look in that mirror there. You see all those people? The world is covered with a swarm of them like a swarm of ants. So what difference does it make if two or three of 'em get stepped on.
- Tom Sabin: Like you?
- Hoag: Now what you ought to do is take a good, long ride for yourself.
- Tom Sabin: I've been told that before. I don't like it.
- Hoag: Oh? In that case, you can mail these letters for me on the way out.
- Tom Sabin: Naco, Brown, Quijano...
- Hoag: The three fastest guns in the territory. You know 'em?
- Tom Sabin: Only by reputation. You sendin' for 'em?
- Hoag: Could be birthday cards. But you could, uh, tear up those letters if you wanted to take that ride.
- Tom Sabin: That would be tamperin' with the government mail.
- Hoag: Johnny Naco, Quijano and a man they call Farmer Brown...
- Tom Sabin: Happy birthday.
- Hoag: I was just readin' somethin' that all town tamers ought to read. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may/ For all time is flying. / And at my back I always here / Death's winged chariot hurrying near."
- Hoag: [toasting] To you, Johnny Naco! You made him run like a yellow dog, huh?
- Johnny Naco: You paid me enough to kill him, but not enough to make me do what I'm doin' to him.
- Hoag: Well, what is it you want, Johnny?
- Johnny Naco: Your life.
