Quotes:

Wasco: I'm buying you out.::Bullet: You're what?::Wasco: I'm going to make you a very honorable proposal of a business nature that you're not going to be able to refuse.::Bullet: Oh yeah?::Wasco: God damn, you smell bad, man. Whew. Ahh... Let me run this down to you, Bullet, old baby. Number one, you're a junkie, which means you can't maintain the kind of objectivity that's necessary in an operation like this. Number two, you don't have my organization, my supply, you don't have my connections, frankly see, you're action's weak, small time, small profit, nickel-dime bag operation at best. Your supply's erratic, your goods are inferior, you deal nothing but trash and garbage.::Bullet: Hey, wait a minute...::Wasco: Shut up, and listen. Now, you see, I can offer this market dynamite smack, man, I mean the best money can buy, it's so good you can get off just snorting it. Save everybody the trouble of carrying a fit around with them all the time, you know? They can just chip like that till they get out. And I got a guaranteed supply daily, coming in six days a week. Any kind of thrill, any kind of quality, any kind of quantity that any customer can desire. I can sell by the cap, the bag, the bindle, the bundle, the half load, nickel, dime, quarter, trey bag, piece of the pill, you just call it and I've got it. Got ludes, crank, Bombitas coke, bam, black beauties, cartwheels, yellow jackets, reds, long greens, rainbows, beans. And STP and PCP and DMT and LSD, and psilocybin and mescaline, and THC, amphetamine meth, biphetamine, phenobarbital, benzedrine, dexedrine, librium, miltown, dilaudid, morphine, seconol, demerol, goofballs, truck drivers, yellow stripes, tuinal, disosix, carbon tetrachroride, strychnine, arsenic, anything, I can deal anything except marijuana and hashish, because I can't stand the smell of that shit. And for the ultimate thrill of your lifetime, I'll personally drill a little hole right in your head and you can see the light of the lord shine in there. Can even offer dollies, I got the best doll for you money can buy, for anybody wants to just sit back sweet and easy, and kick their habit one day at a time. Now I ain't jealous, see, cause I ain't a junkie. I don't really approve of the use of any kind of dope, but if there's a market, if somebody's gonna buy it they may as well but it from me as buy it from the next guy. Cause you know there's a lot of dudes who brought their habit in here with them, man, and they got to have that wake up. They gotta have the nooner, and the matinee, and the sleepy time every day, seven days a week, just like clockwork. And I'm prepared to offer this jam, which is the best fucking hard-ass poison on the market today. And I can offer you something else, you want to know what that is?::Bullet: What's that?::Wasco: Protection. Top to bottom.::Bullet: Yeah? Who's made?::Wasco: Who's ma... [smirks]... You're already pissing your pants, man, you're getting in on one of the biggest deals ever made in any joint anywhere, ever, and you're asking me 'Who's made'? That's why you never got anywhere, cause you think small, that's small thinking, see? I'm thinking about diversification. You know what that word means, diversification? It means cigarettes, and prostitution, and banking services, and loan facilities, organized gambling, and liquor, and clothing sales, and uncensored postal service, and underground courier service direct to the street, and stud service, and telephone service direct to the outside. I'm even thinking about selling processed hair accoutrements to the raghead nigger conks. I'm gonna smuggle in contraband hot sauce for the spic cell block lunch time, direct from the Tiopico chili factory in Tijuana, what do you think about that?::Bullet: I think you're crazy. Out of your fucking mind.::Wasco: Lets say I offered you a deal you can't refuse.::Bullet: What's that?::Wasco: You just turn your whole operation over to me, intact, just like it is right now. Then when my supply starts coming in, which might even be today, you just sit back. We got a silent partnership, you got no jeopardy, no risk, you get ten percent of the whole operation, you make more money than you ever did before.::Bullet: What if I say no?::Wasco: You can't.::Bullet: Yeah, but what if I do?::Wasco: I'll kill ya. I'd love to kill ya, I'll throw you off the fucking tier right now, you'll wish you hadn't said that all the way down.::Bullet: You'll never get away with it.::Wasco: What do you care if I get away with it, you'll be dead.

Wasco: God, I love it here, in this joint, you know that, Squeeze? I just fucking love it, there's no place like it in the whole damn world. There's nothing you can't do in here, if you got the balls. It's as simple as that, you just believe in yourself. Follow your star. It'll lead you right to opportunity, and here it has again.

Quotes:

Jeremy Baile: I don't like that man Cole.::Glyn McLyntock: Why not?::Jeremy Baile: I heard Grundy say he was a raider on the Missouri border.::Glyn McLyntock: Well, lots of people used to raid along the border.::Jeremy Baile: That kind can't change. When an apple's rotten, there's nothing you can do except throw it away or it will spoil the whole barrel.::Glyn McLyntock: Well, there's a difference between men and apples.

Tom Hendricks: I got a job for you... arrow wound.::Cap'n Mello: Where about?::Glyn McLyntock: Right up here (points to shoulder). Part of the head is still in it.::Cap'n Mello: Well, if you can point to it, it ain't serious. Just leave it alone, it will fall out by itself in time.

Emerson Cole: Never mix marriage with gambling. Percentage is all against it.

Cap'n Mello: You're a little naked to go calling on Hendricks. You ain't wearin' a gun.

Glyn McLyntock: I thought we were out of Cheyenne country. What do you make of that?::Emerson Cole: Shoshoni. Real mean when they want to be. Lately, they want to be.

Shorty: The law won't let you get away with this.::Glyn McLyntock: What law?

Glyn McLyntock: Always point this (the wagon tongue) toward the North Star. Then come morning, we'll know where we're going.

Emerson Cole: I'll be seeing you, Glyn.::Glyn McLyntock: You'll be seeing me. You'll be seeing me. Everytime you bed down for the night, you'll look back to the darkness and wonder if I'm there. And some night, I will be. You'll be seeing me!

Jeremy Baile: Good country, Glyn.::Glyn McLyntock: Yeah, real good country.::Jeremy Baile: Let's hope we can keep it this way. Missouri and Kansas was like this when I first saw 'em... good, clean. It was the men who came in to steal and kill that changed things. We mustn't let it happen here.

Glyn McLyntock: So you've decided to stay in Portland.::Emerson Cole: For a while, then thought I would drift on down to California::Glyn McLyntock: Still following that star.::Emerson Cole: Sometimes it's better than having a man with a star following you.
