- Paladin: [Reading from the newspaper with Hey Boy] Reward increased to $5,000, the daring girl has been involved in at least three robberies in as many weeks, held up the Elko stage yesterday, shot and killed the driver, and made off with a payroll worth over $50,000.
- Hey Boy: Very unladylike behaviour. Tut.
- Paladin: More like an animal, I'd say. How does a woman become so brutalised?
- Hey Boy: There's only one way to find out.
- Paladin: Hey Boy, pack the gear. I have a number of appointments to break.
- Sandy: What are you gonna do with all that reward money, huh? Marry one of them fine San Francisco ladies.
- Paladin: You can be sure I'll give the matter my strictest attention.
- Sandy: That's what your kind go for, ain't it?
- Paladin: My kind?
- Sandy: A woman who bat her eyelids at you, make you feel big and strong.
- Paladin: Certainly. A man likes to have a woman who helps him have a good opinion of himself.
- Sandy: I ain't met the man yet who needs help with that.
- Paladin: Now, you don't think much of men, do you?
- Sandy: They ain't never give me no reason to.
- Paladin: Woman? You? You're not a woman! You're a freak!
- Sandy: I've been called names before. Why, I've been cussed up and down by the best of them.
- Paladin: [He softens] All right. All right, there is cruelty in men. There are other things. There is kindness, tenderness, and there's respect. Did it ever occur to you, a man might treat you like a woman if you act like one?
