Quotes10

  • [McKay refuses to join Billy after his gang has killed the men guarding the wagon in which they were being transported to prison]
  • Billy Bucklin: What about you?
  • John McKay: I'll see you in hell, Billy.
  • Billy Bucklin: Hell's bound to be a better place than Yuma prison.
  • John McKay: Just you and me?
  • Hutch: I got me a tracker - I need a killer.
  • Joshua: What the hell is she doin' here? I told her to go home!
  • John McKay: So did we.
  • Hutch: She's a little hard of hearin'.
  • John McKay: Stubborn, too - kinda like you, I hear.
  • John McKay: Mr. Hutchinson, you realize, of course, that what you're asking is for you and I and the boy and the girl to do exactly what got me into Yuma prison?
  • Hutch: I know.
  • John McKay: Well, they're still pullin' that paymaster's wagon. Must be headin' for Tortuga.
  • Hutch: Franco.
  • Joshua: Who's that?
  • Hutch: Not who, what.
  • John McKay: A place where gold and guns make the law, boy.
  • Hutch: The only thing to do with a den of rattlesnakes is to stomp it shut or blow it closed.
  • John McKay: Kind of like Yuma prison, although not as bad.
  • John McKay: What the hell is he doing here?
  • Hutch: Savin' your sorry ass!
  • Hutch: What the hell is she doin' here?
  • John McKay: Savin' our sorry asses!
  • Hutch: That's a full pardon that's been signed by the governor and notorized and now it's on fire!
  • John McKay: You know, Hutch, I told you I wouldn't go back to Yuma prison. Either way, I don't fit in... I don't fit in this century - and it won't be long before you don't fit in, either. I kinda like Mexico. I swore before I died I was going to see the ocean.
  • [scoops up a handful of coins]
  • John McKay: I'm going to keep this for services rendered.
  • Hutch: And rendered rather well, I might add.
  • [last lines]
  • John McKay: Miss Elizabeth Kennedy...
  • Elizabeth: Yes, sir?
  • John McKay: Take good care of my boy.
  • Hutch: He ain't a boy, he's a full-grown man!
