• [after Jesse blames himself for Jim's death] 

  Frank : The railroad burned him out, too, you couldn't have stopped him.

  [clears throat] 

  Jesse James : Out.

  Doc Mimms : That's fine by me, Jesse.

  Frank : [with a grin]  Oh, no worries, sir, I'll make sure they're properly chaperoned!

  Frank : Well not if you don't ease up a bit, Ma!

• Jesse James : A war against the railroad... what the hell was I thinking?

  Frank : Well, I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.
