Vin: I heard you were riding shotgun for the Overland Stage.
Chris: I was. My doctor told me to quit. For my health.

Vin: I wish I knew for sure.
Chris: Knew what?
Vin: Whether I'm here because Chico is a friend of mine, or if I'm just on the prod for a fight like Frank. Killing can get inside you.
Chris: And you think that's happening to you?
Vin: Why else would I be here? Sure Chico is a friend of mine. But, hell, I don't even know his last name.
Chris: Neither do I.
Vin: Don't it make you wonder?
Chris: No.
Vin: How the hell come, Chris?
Chris: Because in all the years I made my way with a gun, I never once shot a man just to see him fall. If that time ever comes, I'll throw my guns in a water bucket and walk away. So will you.

Frank: As fast as you are?
Chris: I'd hate to have to live on the difference.

Chris: How would you like to use that gunbelt for something more than just holding up your pants.


--Yul Brynner (as ) in Return of the Seven

Chris: I'm not a religious man, Father, but I'll tell you this: they need you... more now than ever.
Priest: I've failed them.
Chris: You failed yourself. You got knocked down. Get up, Father... at least as far as your knees!


--Yul Brynner (as ) in Return of the Seven

Chris: I've been offered a lot for my work, but never everything.


--Yul Brynner (as Chris Larabee Adams) in The Magnificent Seven

Chris: Oh, hell. If that's all that's holding things up, I'll drive the rig.
