- Catlow: Now you keep those mules moving or we'll have those asses full of lead instead of gold.
- Miller: Now, how good are you on a horse?
- Catlow: As good as the next man.
- Miller: You ain't heard the conditions. You ride this bronc with your hands tied behind your back... and your neck in that noose!
- Catlow: You still got that warrant?
- Cowan: Two. One for jumping arrest. You stirred up some kind of a hornet's nest back there. And that Miller, he's packing a lot of heat.
- Catlow: Think I can't handle him?
- Cowan: Well, if somebody shoots you, let's keep it in the family. I'm gonna bring you in before he carries you in.
- Catlow: There's a derringer looking at you says you don't.
- [Catlow has a gun underneath the table pointing at Cowan's belly]
- Cowan: Oh?
- [looks down at the table]
- Catlow: I'd hate to shoot that badge off you just to prove it.
- Cowan: Yeah, well, that's not where I wear it.
- Catlow: [laughs loud] You know it would bust my heart to have to kill you.
- Cowan: Yeah, well...
- Catlow: Hey, why don't you ride with us. I need someone I can count on.
- Cowan: Oh , Jed.
- Catlow: The gold is just lying there!
- Cowan: Gold?
- Catlow: Yeah!
- Cowan: Jed, are you gonna tangle with law the rest of your life? You have brawled and drunk and catted your way through every state in the West! I have gotton you out of jail so many times! When are you gonna learn?
- Catlow: Ben, it's maverick gold! It belongs to anyone who can round it up!
- Cowan: It don't belong to you! You can't steal from a man just because you don't know his name!
- Catlow: Oh, well, I never thought you would.
- Cowan: [both take a drink] Um... You wouldn't be just shooting off your mouth about that gun under there?
- Catlow: Make one wrong move, and that's not all I'll be shooting off.
- Catlow: Ben, it's maverick gold. It belongs to anyone who can round it up.
- Cowan: It don't belong to you. You can't steal from a man just because you don't know his name.
- Merridew: You trust that injun?
- Catlow: Well, they trust you.
- Merridew: In that desert, I wouldn't trust no one. Especially me!
- Catlow: You know, for a smart boy like you, Rio, you're just plain dumb.
- Cowan: [Last lines] Jed?
- Catlow: Yes, Ben?
- Cowan: Jed, you really are so full of...
- Catlow: Shhhh! Not in front of the lady! Besides, where's your respect for the law?
- [first lines]
- Catlow: [chuckling] Ben Cowan, when are you gonna learn? That badge is only a target for trouble.
- Cowan: Yeah, and it found me.
- Cowan: Jed, you know it's my duty to take you in.
- Catlow: Duty? You mean, I gotta prove to 12 idiots that I didn't do what I didn't do?
- Cowan: The law don't work against a man. It works *for* him.
- Catlow: Are you sure, Ben?
- Cowan: Oh, the hell with it.
- Cowan: How is it when you're in trouble, I get shot at?
- Catlow: I guess trouble likes company.
- Catlow: Hell, I always figured I'd die with my boots on.
- [puts his boots on]
- Catlow: It's like you said. It's your duty to bring me in.
- Cowan: You wouldn't know duty if it reared up and bit you in the ass.
- Rosita: What about him?
- Catlow: You'll stay with him.
- Rosita: I'm *your* woman. You don't give me away to no man!
- Catlow: Do as I say!
- Rosita: No! I do as *I* say.
- Catlow: All right. I guess Sara will have to work overtime. Tell her to get back here.
- Catlow: Come on, baby, we travel.
- [pats Rosita's behind]
- Catlow: Keep the fire burning, pussycat.
- Rosita: I'll light it only for you!
