- Nora Larson: I'm so sorry that our plan didn't work.
- Paladin: That's not important. What is important is conscience and memory. You will remember me, won't you.
- Warden: We've been through it so many times, Mrs Larson. Seems to be so much to say. But when the time comes you find the right words just haven't been invented.
- Paladin: Well, on that particularly apposite note, shall we part?
- Trowbridge - Guard: Well, I'll go down, bring Larson up from solitary. That's prison regulation. All condemned prisoners they're kept in solitary until the day before they hang.
- Paladin: Well, that does keep the staff from having to think about them, doesn't it.
- Warden: I'm sorry you didn't make it. My dogs have so little pleasure. With all this exercise, I guess we'll just concede that Locano take a big rope and a long drop. And let it go at that.
- Brian Larson: If you really loved me, you'd have been happy to see ten men buried in my place. But no.
