- Tyler Duane: What's he gonna do?
- Jeff Shelby: He's going to get himself killed.
- Tyler Duane: Why doesn't somebody stop it?
- Jeff Shelby: When two men fight, it's a duel. When somebody tires to stop 'em, it becomes a war. This ain't Philadelphia.
- Preacher Sam Shelby: Let me tell you something else. When the good Lord decides he needs a man to run the human race, he's goin' to come down and do the job himself.
- Preacher Sam Shelby: Jesse, you think of everything.
- Jesse Glendenning: Yes. That's why I'm payin' salaries instead of workin' for 'em.
- Jeff Shelby: Well, nobody ever asked a dollar where it came from.
- Preacher Sam Shelby: They've been known to question the man that carried it, though.
- Jesse Glendenning: I won't be needin' you, Sheriff. This may be a long hunt.
- Sheriff Simon: I just got back from one wild goose chase. It won't hurt me to go on another.
- Jesse Glendenning: I said I don't want you!
- Sheriff Simon: I know you did, Jesse, that's why I'm goin'. If it was murder, we'll let a circuit judge decide. I ain't pinnin' a badge on a lynchin' - legal... or otherwise.
- Martha Jane Canary: What are you gawking at? Ain't you never seen a pair of pants before?
- Jeff Shelby: Yeah, but it ain't so much the crust that makes the pie as the filling.
