Quotes7

  • Gypsy Smith: I ain't nothing but a gunslinger. I can't teach you nothing but how to kill people. You got a change to learn books. That's where the power is. It's better than guns.
  • Drusilla: I'm sorry, but I'm not having bastards, thank you. There's too many in the world as it is.
  • Drusilla: I kind of hate to hear you talking about bastards. I happen to be one.
  • Drusilla: So am I. That's why I'm not having any.
  • Gypsy Smith: I'm not the marrying kind.
  • Drusilla: Well, I am!
  • Gypsy Smith: What good is revenge? It don't make a man feel any better. I ain't got no more stomach for it.
  • Gypsy Smith: Ain't no more shame in being ignorant... the only shame is staying ignorant.
  • Gypsy Smith: We're all bits and pieces handed down to us from the ones before us; bits and pieces we pass on to the ones after. I don't know where anybody fits. I do know that your father is a great man, Little Raven. No matter where you go in this life, no matter what happens, you remember where you came from... and be proud to be his son.
  • Gypsy Smith: I'm so hungry right now, my stomach thinks my throat's been cut.
  • Corby: What are you planning to do?
  • Gypsy Smith: You ain't thinkin' I'm gonna let them klansmen get away with what they done, do ya? Killin' ain't even begun yet. When I'm well, gotta better give their souls to God, 'cause their mortal bodies belongs to Gypsy Smith!
  • Corby: Hey, you once told me words have more power than guns!
  • Gypsy Smith: I'll be talking... *with* my guns.
