• Ringo Kid : Well, I guess you can't break out of prison and into society in the same week.

• Henry, the Ringo Kid : Well, there are some things a man just can't run away from.

• Ringo Kid : Look, Miss Dallas. You got no folks... neither have I. And, well, maybe I'm takin' a lot for granted, but... I watched you with that baby - that other woman's baby. You looked... well, well I still got a ranch across the border. There's a nice place - a real nice place... trees... grass... water. There's a cabin half built. A man could live there... and a woman. Will you go?

  Dallas : But you don't know me - you don't know who I am.

  Ringo Kid : I know all I wanna know. Will you go?

  Dallas : Oh, don't talk like that!

• Henry Gatewood : So you're the notorious Ringo Kid.

  The Ringo Kid : My friends just call me Ringo - nickname I had as a kid. Right name's Henry.

• Dr. Josiah Boone : Seems to me I knew your family, Henry. Didn't I fix your arm once when you, oh, bumped off a horse?

  Ringo Kid : Are you Doc Boone?

  Dr. Josiah Boone : I certainly am. Ah, let's see... I'd just been honorably discharged from the Union Army after the War of the Rebellion.

  Hatfield : You mean the War for the Southern Confederacy, sir.

  Dr. Josiah Boone : I mean nothing of the kind, sir!

  Ringo Kid : That was my kid brother broke his arm. You did a good job, Doc, even if you was drunk.

  Dr. Josiah Boone : Thank you, son. Professional compliments are always pleasing. What happened to that boy whose arm I fixed?

  Ringo Kid : He was murdered.

• Ringo Kid : You may need me and this Winchester, Curly. Saw a ranch house burnin' last night.

• Henry, the Ringo Kid : Hope I ain't crowdin' you folks none.

• The Ringo Kid : That was my kid brother that broke his arm. You did a good job, Doc, even if you were drunk.

  Dr. Josiah Boone : Thank you, son. Professional compliments are always pleasing.

• Dallas : Why do you look at me like that?

  Ringo Kid : I'm just trying to remember. Ain't I seen you someplace before, ma'am?

  Dallas : No. No, you haven't.

  Ringo Kid : I wish I had though.

• Ringo Kid : Well, I used to be a good cowhand. But, things happen.

  Dallas : Yeah, that's it. Things happen.

• Ringo Kid : My father and brother were shot down by the Plummer boy... Guess you don't know how it feels to loose your own folks that way.

  Dallas : I lost mine when I was a kid. It was a massacre on Superstition Mountain.

  Ringo Kid : That's tough - especially on a girl.

• Hatfield : A gentleman doesn't smoke in the presence of a lady.

  Dr. Josiah Boone : Three weeks ago I took a bullet out of a man who was shot by a gentleman. The bullet was in his back!

  Hatfield : You mean to insinuate...

  Ringo Kid : Sit down, mister. Doc don't mean no harm.

• Henry, the Ringo Kid : Hold it!
