Quotes:

Charlie Burns: No more.

Jellon Lamb: Forgive me, sir, but I've been stuck here with no one but this sorry sack of Hibernian pig shit for conversation. Poor, poor Dan O'Reilly. Sit, sir. Drink with me.::[Charlie cocks his gun and points it to Lamb]::Charlie Burns: One more crack about the Irish, Mr. Lamb, and I'll shoot you. Am I clear?::Jellon Lamb: Oh, as the waters of Ennis, sir. Let us drink, then, to the Irish. No finer race of men have ever... peeled a potato.::[Charlie cocks his gun again and points it to Lamb]::Charlie Burns: Do you pray, Mr. Lamb?

Captain Stanley: I wish to present you with a proposition. I know where Arthur Burns is. It is a God-forsaken place. The blacks won't go there, not the tracks; not even wild men. I suppose, in time, the bounty hunters will get him. But I have other plans, I aim to bring him down - I aim to show that he's a man like any other. I aim to hurt him.::Sergeant Lawrence: When you're ready, sir...::Captain Stanley: And what will most hurt him? Well I thought long and hard about that, and I've realized Mr. Burns, that I must become more inventive in my methods. But those be my words listen to me now, *don't* say a word. Now suppose I told there was a way to save your little brother Mikey from the noose. Suppose I gave you a horse, and a gun. Suppose Mr. Burns, I was to give you and your young brother Mikey here a pardon. Suppose I said that I could give you a chance to expunge the guilt, beneath which you so clearly labor. Suppose I gave you 'til Christmas. Now, suppose you tell me what it is I want from you.::Charlie Burns: You want me to kill me brother.::Captain Stanley: I want you to kill your brother.

Jellon Lamb: What is an Irishman but a nigger turned inside out?

Samuel Stote: What's a misanthrope, Arthur?::Two Bob: Some bugger who fuckin' hates every other bugger.::Samuel Stote: Hey, I didn't ask you, you black bastard::Arthur Burns: He's right Samuel. A misanthrope is one who hates humanity.::Samuel Stote: Is that what we are, misanthropes?::Arthur Burns: Good lord no. We're a family.

Captain Stanley: I will civilize this land.

Jellon Lamb: [speaking about Arthur Burns] "We are white men, Sir, not beasts. Oh, he sits up there in those melancholy hills; some say he sleeps in caves like a beast, slumbers deep like the Kraken. The Blacks say that he is a spirit. The Troopers will never catch him. Common force is meaningless, Mr. Murphy, as he squats up there on his impregnable perch. So I wait, Mr. Murphy. I wait.::Charlie Burns: [Knocks Jellon out with a beer mug] Aye, you wait. You wait here... bounty hunter.

Captain Stanley: Australia. What fresh hell is this?

Officer Dunn: Who the fuck left Danny Boy out in the sun? [Taking a piss] Hey, Jacko, you lazy bugger, I told you to bury that bastard last night. He stinks worse than you. Jacko!::Two Bob: You got the wrong fuckin' black man.::Arthur Burns: Slowly now, Sergeant. Put your privates back in your pants and turn around. Come to steal my brother a horse, and we find ourselves a copper.::Officer Dunn: You fire that gun, you'll have eight more all over you.::Arthur Burns: Fair enough. [Puts gun away, draws knife] Step into the shade, Sergeant. To the back.::Officer Dunn: Has Charlie found you, then? Stanley's little mate.::Arthur Burns: Over there, by the straw. That's right. Stay. Lay down, Sergeant.::Officer Dunn: I know something you don't know. Your brother's come to kill you. I can help.::Arthur Burns: You can help me? Help your fucking self! [Stomping on Officer Dunn's head] . Help! Your! Fucking! Self! Copper.

Arthur Burns: Love. Love is the key. Love and family. For what are night and day, the sun, the moon, the stars without love, and those you love around you? What could be more hollow than to die alone, unloved?

Famous quotes by Tom Cox:

"I'd love to grate some cheese. I've been wanting to grate some cheese ever since I saw that."

"It actually became a creative differential that (Lee) could quantify. He was able to add some weeks to his schedule and go further afield. He took a chance on Alberta despite his reservations, and by the end of the production was saying that it was the most positive production experience of his career."

"Ang Lee did not want to come here. Because the story is set in Wyoming, he wanted to honor the writing... but there is no real infrastructure there. There is no company like ours that has a track record like we have with the unions, crews and government, and there is no incentive there."
