Tip Henry:
He said he'd come back every night and shoot up the place until I moved or got killed. And he said to tell you that he wouldn't need any Indians to help him do the job.
Younger Miles: What did you say about Indians? Tip Henry: I don't savvy the Indian part. Did you know Danning from someplace else? Younger Miles: [Miles picks up a pair of spurs from the table and slashes Henry across the face] That'll teach you not to walk out on me, you yellow back!

Stew Shallis:
Did you ever get hit with a bullet? It's like a hunk of iron ripping and tearing into you. It sets you on fire inside. Sometimes you don't die right away. You just bleed and hurt for a long time.

Kate Hardison:
Chris, there is something or someone bigger than all of us that takes care of our injuries, and squares things for us.
Chris Denning: I'll do my own squaring, Kate. Kate Hardison: Vengeance is mine, I will repay. Remember? Chris Denning: I also remember: an eye for an eye.

Younger Miles:
[Miles catches his wife drinking again] I warned you, Abbie!
Abbie Miles: I'm in my own home! [Miles slaps her and walks out just as Abbie's father walks in] Sheriff O'Hea: Has that ever happened before, Abbie? [She shakes her head and cries] Sheriff O'Hea: When you were a little girl, I couldn't bring myself to lay a hand on you, even to spank you, no matter how wild you got. I never thought I'd live to see the day my girl got slapped and I did nothing about it.

Younger Miles:
If you expect me to sit around and watch you tear down everything I've built up, you're crazier than I think. I've worked hard to get where I am... and done everything a man can do. I've lied, cheated and stolen. I've even killed to build this set-up I've got now. And I'm not going to let any man destroy it. Least of all you.

We can't afford to hunt him down ourselves. It ain't legal.
Frank Yordy: Say, that wouldn't stop you, Mr. Miles. Younger Miles: Yordy, someday somebody's going to poke your tongue down your throat.
