John Gant: Take two men. Say they have robbed and lied, and have never paid. The man whom one of them has robbed comes to me and says, "Kill that man who's robbed me." And I kill him. The other man becomes ill and would die, except for a physician who returns him to health to rob and lie again. Who's the villain in this piece? Me or the physician?

John Gant: That's your prescription doc... fill it.

John Gant: There are many of you! Yes, you could kill me. If you're willing enough. But it's only fair to tell you that I'll kill you, Stricker. And you, Dutch Henry. The physician. His father. And there might even be time for you, storekeeper. You surprise me, physician. I didn't expect to see you running with the pack. You've come against me once. Now I warn you: I'll stay here until I'm ready to leave. I use my gun for money, and I don't like to work for nothing. But you trouble me again, and I might have to break my rule. That's my prescription, physician. You'd better get it filled.

John Gant: Why do you want to kill me, friend?
Lou: You know why.
John Gant: All right. If you think you can do it, go ahead and try. My hands are on the table. I couldn't possibly outdraw you. So go ahead and shoot.

Lt. Ben Chalmers: You know, if you two put off hating each other so much, you might find you'd like each other a lot.

Lt. Jed Sayre: My orders are to move you out.
Menguito: You speak of a place where vultures grow fat from the bodies of those who die without food in winter and without water in summer. This is our home. We will not move.
Lt. Jed Sayre: Here me well, Menquito. If you haven't given the word to your people by the time that cloud passes the sun, I'll open fire!

Lt. Jed Sayre: The point is, I don't think Barney was murdered by a Navajo or any other Indian.
Capt. Lee Whitlock: Well, how can you say that? Half the man's head was gone!
Lt. Jed Sayre: You didn't see an arrow sticking in him, did you?
Capt. Lee Whitlock: Proving what?
Lt. Jed Sayre: Proving this: an Indian may scalp a man, but he'll always stick an arrow in the body. It's superstition. It's supposed to pin the spirit to the corpse so it won't go rising up and haunting the guilty Indian or his friends.

Matt Brown: Do you know what it's like not having a name? It's like being an extra joker in a deck of cards. You're nothing. You don't belong in the game.

Reb Kittredge: Are you in love with Curly?
Rita: He wants to marry me.
Reb Kittredge: That's not what I asked you.
Rita: I don't know why that would interest you.
Reb Kittredge: I don't want to stake my claim on range that's already taken up.

Reb Kittredge: How's he paying ya?
Johnny Lake: A thousand cash... $2500 bonus when the job is done.
Reb Kittredge: Meaning when you shoot me.
Johnny Lake: I think your name got mentioned somewhere.
Reb Kittredge: Well, I've been shot at for less.
