Andrew 'Doc' Grunch:
That'll be four and half
[dollars] Andrew 'Doc' Grunch: . Two for the tooth, two-and-a-half for the whiskey. You got another swig coming.

Andrew 'Doc' Grunch:
You knock 'em loose and I'll pull 'em out. Maybe, I'm just saying maybe, you know; if you was more promiscuous with your punching, we might make a little more money.
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton: What do you mean - promiscuous? Andrew 'Doc' Grunch: Well, ah, you got strange ideas about justice. You don't want to hit nobody unless they deserve it. Now, that's all right, but we're in business. And business is different!

Andrew 'Doc' Grunch:
You know, you could make something of yourself if you tried.
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton: Yeah? Andrew 'Doc' Grunch: Yeah. You could run for marshal. Bob 'Shortcut' Seton: Me being a marshal? Are you loco? Andrew 'Doc' Grunch: Well, you could try. It's better for a young fella like you to be working for Uncle Sam than against him. Bob 'Shortcut' Seton: I can't even read or write. You know that! Andrew 'Doc' Grunch: Listen, you don't read or write a man into jail.

William Cantrell:
I know what I'm doing, Ma. I'll be running Kansas yet. I'm going clear up to the top. But I'm not going for the climb or the view.

Miss Mary McCloud:
I thought they bred men of flesh and blood in Texas. I was wrong. You're made of granite!
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton: No, Mary, just common clay. It bakes kind of hard in Texas.

Miss Mary McCloud:
Now, will you please get to the point and tell me what you want?
Bob 'Shortcut' Seton: I want to marry you. Miss Mary McCloud: You what? Bob 'Shortcut' Seton: Well, I ain't got no job right now, but I figure to get one. And outside of a snort of hooch now and then, I got no bad habits. Miss Mary McCloud: I'd say asking a perfect stranger to marry you is a very bad habit!

[Cantrell has been defeated by Bob Seton in the election for marshal]
William Cantrell: Learning, studying, working like a dog... and what did it get me? The first chance I have to be somebody, I'm beaten out of it by an ignorant cowhand who can't even write his own name! Well, I can write mine... and I'm going to write it across the territory in letters of fire and blood if I have to! I'm going to be somebody in this country! Somebody big!

[she holds a rifle on her son, William, to prevent him from going upstairs after his wife]
William Cantrell: Say, what's the matter with you? What's that gun for? Mrs. Cantrell: It's for you, Will. I thought I'd borned a man-child when I first hear'd you squallin'. But I didn't. I borned a dirty murderin' snake that's broke my heart to see it crawlin' along. You're no good, Will. William Cantrell: I've killed a lot of men for saying less than that. Mrs. Cantrell: You've killed a lot of men for sayin' nuthin' at all! Kansas is red with their bleedin'. I curse the day I ever had you.
