Cane Miro : I'll make you a deal. I won't try to make you a bad woman, if you stop trying to make me a good man.
Marshal Rose Hood : You're not bad, you're just no good.

Cane Miro : C'mon - I'll help you get your worm bait back to town.
-
Erica Page : Jake, get three thousand out of the office safe. Take your time about coming back.
Cane Miro : That's better. No point in my having to trust you when I can worry about nicer things.
Erica Page : What things, Cane?
Cane Miro : Such as who do I kill and when?
Erica Page : The local law on Saturday.
Cane Miro : The chesty marshal?
-
Cane Miro : Remember me?
Marshal Rose Hood : Cane Miro - wanted in three states and five territories for murder, bank robbery, stage robbery, train robbery and sundry assaults.
Cane Miro : Take a look in your ledger; see if I'm wanted in this state. I haven't checked lately.
[checking one of Rose's rifles]
Cane Miro : You ought to keep these clean.
Marshal Rose Hood : No, you aren't wanted here. If you were, I'd find a place for you with the other characters I've met this week - next to my husband in Boot Hill.
-
Marshal Rose Hood : What's your business in Oracle?
Cane Miro : It's honest... It's also private.
Marshal Rose Hood : Well, that's no answer.
Cane Miro : I intend to keep it that way.

[discussing Cane's business]
Marshal Rose Hood : How long is it going to take?
Cane Miro : About five weeks.
Marshal Rose Hood : Make it five days.
Cane Miro : That's mighty charitable. I might be able to finish in five days - but that also leaves five nights. What do you do nights, Miss Marshal.
Marshal Rose Hood : Oh, I keep an eye on suspicious characters.
Cane Miro : I'm a suspicious character.
Marshal Rose Hood : I think I'll assign Joshua to you. He takes care of drunks, mad dogs and smart saddle tramps.
Cane Miro : But I'm a celebrity. You ought to give me your personal attention.
Marshal Rose Hood : I just hope I don't have to, Mr. Miro.
-
[hearing gunfire in the distance]
Marshal Rose Hood : I'm a fool! Instead of doing my job, I'm out here disgracing Scott's memory - and it's all your fault!
Cane Miro : Nothing we both do is all my fault.
-
[referring to the new railroad line]
Cane Miro : It's not coming.
Erica Page : They're going to build the line through Rockdale.
Cane Miro : It's a shame.
Erica Page : Is that all you can say?
Cane Miro : It's a darn shame.
-
Erica Page : It's Joshua.
Cane Miro : Looks like he means to hold us up.
Erica Page : You'll have to get him.
Cane Miro : You'll have to pay me for it!
Erica Page : I gave you three thousand to take care of the law in Oracle. He's part of it.
Cane Miro : So you did. I should have listened to the fine print.
-
Mayor Gideon Polk : I thought you were dead!
Cane Miro : The good die first.
