  • Gus McCrae: I could kick you for givin' him all them ideas about Montana. Now we're gonna suffer for the rest of our damn lives.
  • Jake Spoon: Yeah, I forgot how determined he can get, once an idea takes root.
  • [Jake is about to be hanged]
  • Jake Spoon: Well, hell, boys. I'd damn sight rather be hung by my friends than by a bunch o' damn strangers. Newt... Well, adios, boys. Hope you won't hold it against me. Never meant no harm.
  • [spurs his horse, hanging himself before Gus does it]
  • Jake Spoon: A man that will talk to a pig ain't no better than a farmer.
  • Gus McCrae: I expected you to own a bank or at least a whorehouse by now Jake. It seems life has been a disappointment to both of us.
  • Jake Spoon: That might be so, but by God, I ain't never said a word to a pig.
  • Roy Suggs: What did you find?
  • Dan Suggs: Nothing but his old watch. Damn sodbusters!
  • Jake Spoon: You shot those two men for a watch?
  • Dan Suggs: Shot 'em, now I'm going to hang 'em.
  • Eddie Suggs: Hang 'em? Dang, you beat all! I've never heard of hanging dead men.
  • Dan Suggs: Shot 'em, now I'm gonna hang 'em, then I'm gonna burn 'em! Damn sodbusters. Can't ever be too dead to suit me.
