Quotes:

Grimes: Mister, you've got alot of hard bark on you walkin' down here like this. Now, I owe you. You put two holes in me.::John Russell: Usually enough for most of 'em.::Grimes: Don't try it again, that Vaquero is more than a fair hand.::Grimes: You got the money?::John Russell: Guess I brought my dirty laundry down by mistake.::Grimes: Let me see it.::John Russell: Look for yourself.::Grimes: [opens bag, pulls out a handful of clothes] Well now, what'ya suppose hell's gonna look like?::John Russell: We all die, just a question of when.

[Grimes has just delivered an ultimatum to Mendez and the others]::John Russell: Hey. I got a question. How are you planning to get back down that hill?::Grimes: Now you wait a minute! I'm getting back down the same way I came up! (Begins running back down the hill. Russell shoots him as he is running)::Jessie: [as Grimes crawls away after being shot] Cicero Grimes, meet John Russell.

Jessie: And we got him a marble headstone. It had his name on it, and underneath, we had them put, "In the Fullness of His Years." Is that all right with you?::John Russell: I'll settle for that. I'm not on the slab.::Jessie: Well, what do you figure yours is going to read?::John Russell: "Shot Dead," probably.::Jessie: Don't people take to you, Mr. Russell?::John Russell: It only takes one who doesn't.

Doris Blake: You're just saying that so we won't go down there.::John Russell: They'll kill you both. That's why I'm saying it.

[Russell has just fatally shot the Mexican bandit]::Mexican Bandit: I would like at least to know his name.::Henry Mendez: He was called John Russell.

Henry Mendez: Hombre, which name today, which do you want?::John Russell: Anything but bastard will do.

Braden: Hey, what's going on?::Jessie: I'm moving you out. I want you to take your socks, your cigar stubs, your long johns, and your nickel-plated sheriff's badge, and amble back down the hall to your own room.::Braden: I like it here.::Jessie: Can't quite remember how you got squatter's rights in here, anyhow. Seems to me you came by one night to ask for an extra blanket and stayed a year.

Braden: I been working since I was ten years old, Jessie, cleaning spittoons at a dime a day. It's now thirty years later, and all I can see out the window here is a dirt road going nowhere. The only thing that changes the view is the spotted dog lifting his leg against the wall over there. Saturday nights, I haul out the town drunks. I get their 25-cent dinners and their rotgut liquor heaved up over the front of my one good shirt. I wear three pounds of iron strapped to my leg. That makes me fair game for any punk cowboy who's had one too many. No, Jess, I don't need a wife. I need out.

Jessie: That soldier would have helped you and you know it.::John Russell: I didn't ask for any.::Jessie: He didn't even have a gun.::John Russell: That's his business he don't wanna carry one.::Jessie: It takes a lot to light a fire under you, doesn't it.::John Russell: If it's alright with you, lady, I just didn't feel like bleeding for him. And even if it isn't alright with you.

Doris Blake: I've heard a lot of stories about what the Indians do to white women.::Grimes: They do the same thing to white women they do to Indian women, and they don't mind it much, red or white.
