Jimmy 'Breezy' Kildare:
[punches Owens] So you're tough, eh?
[punches him again]
Jimmy 'Breezy' Kildare: You can dish it out, but you can't take it! Well, you're in a country now where you got to take it. Here's a little of what you gave to me!
[hits him again]
B.H. 'Butch' Owens: Don't I get a break?

B.H. 'Butch' Owens: Give me a break!
Walrus: Surrre, we'll give you a break. We'll give you a rope and a tree that ain't never been used before.

Brett Starr:
[thinking he is Shotgun Cassidy, Mayor Keeler has appointed Brett as Sheriff of Tombstone] Keeler says the surviving Carsons are a pack of cutthroats.
Judge Gabby Whittaker: No!
Brett Starr: Yeah.
Judge Gabby Whittaker: What are you gettin' all prettied up for?
Brett Starr: I'm goin' callin' on the Carsons.
Judge Gabby Whittaker: Ain't that a mite dangerous?
Brett Starr: From Keeler's description, it'll be downright perilous.
Judge Gabby Whittaker: Hmm. Gives me the shivers to think of it.
Brett Starr: The leader is a killer of the worst kind. Stands five foot tall, over 70, white hair and wears a little bonnet on top of it.

Brett Starr: I'm not only Sheriff, ma'am, but I aim to be a peace officer.
Granny Carson: Then why are you hidin' behind that shotgun? And why is that old goat hidin' behind them moth-eaten whiskers?
Judge Gabby Whittaker: Madam, I'll have you know that this hirsute is free of habitation.

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: 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.
