Quotes 

• Martin Westrope : This bourbon came around Cape Horn in a four masted schooner. Water?

  Paladin : No, thank you. If this bourbon needed more water, I think they would've taken care of it at the distillery.

  Martin Westrope : I find that a four master has the right motion to proper age the bourbon in the cask.

• Paladin : You have to trust me. If I'd been your enemy instead of your friend, you'd be dead by now.

• Major Blaisdell : They were killed in the line of duty. We often have these border clashes. This is a cavalry outpost, not a tea party.

  Paladin : They were killed because somebody is running contraband weapons across the border to Escobar. That old border pirate happens to be an old friend of mine.

  Major Blaisdell : Did he tell you who is running them?

  Paladin : No, but I imagine he will if I decide to meet his price.

• Martin Westrope : Mr Paladin, I mean no offence, but I suspect it will take more than a fast gun to find the girl.

  Paladin : Well, I have more than a fast gun, Mr Westrope.

• Paladin : What's the book?

  Isabel Westrope : Dryden's 'All for Love.'

  Paladin : It's a beautiful edition. Now, how can I be certain you are Mrs Michael Westrope?

  Isabel Westrope : Why should I pretend?

• Isabel Westrope : London.

  Paladin : What part?

  Isabel Westrope : Well, we lived in a little street called Shepherd's Lane, not far from Piccadilly. Look here, Mister Paladin, you came here searching for me, and now that you've found me, you seem to be doing your best to prove I'm not me. I don't understand.

  Paladin : I'm not sure that I do either.

• Martin Westrope : Sorry you made that tedious journey for nothing, Mr Paladin.

  Paladin : Nothing?

  Martin Westrope : She arrived just a few days after you left.

  Paladin : Who arrived?

  Martin Westrope : My daughter-in-law. How much do I owe you?

• Paladin : Most men would have kept that girl under intensive cross-interrogation for six months. They would have demanded conclusive proof. After all she's your possible heiress.

• Paladin : I've always been suspicious of the sweet ones. They're the ones you have to watch.

• Paladin : In an old, dusty town, in an adobe church, they were married. None of the niceties of the newly married state were hers. Instead...

  Catherine : We were going to Europe on delayed honeymoon. He so much wanted to see Paris. After Paris we were going to Nice by carriage. Mike hated trains.

  Martin Westrope : So he did. A cavalryman never trusts anything but a horse. I drink to the Cavalry.

• Paladin : Ooh, one more thing. Did your husband have a favourite wine?

  Catherine : Chablis and white wines. And Chateau Lafite and Bordeauxs. And, of course, he always loved Champagne. Dry.

  Paladin : Dry.

• Catherine : I lived in Mount Street. That's in the Westend, near Piccadilly. You've probably never heard of it.

  Paladin : On the contrary, I know it quite well.

  Martin Westrope : Somehow, I never thought of you as a tourist.

  Paladin : Well, no, I'm not a tourist. But I do travel.

• Isabel Westrope : Errors, like straws, on the surface above; he who would search for pearls, must dive below.

  Paladin : The prologue.

  Paladin : Dryden was a very wise man.

  Isabel Westrope : So are you, Mr Paladin.

• Paladin : I'm very sorry to have done this to you.

  Martin Westrope : I'm sorry you were right.

• Paladin : I know printers in San Francisco who could produce a licence showing that I was wed to Queen Victoria.

• Paladin : That makes you an imposter and me a fool.
