Quotes 

• Dr. Phyllis Thackeray : When was the last time you slept?

  Paladin : I was too young to remember.

• Paladin : You're defying the will of Mulrooney. Here Mulrooney, you show these sheep how you practice the art of righteousness!

  Storekeeper Jonas : But Paladin, they're diseased. We've got to protect ourselves.

  Paladin : They're not as diseased as you are. You may be able to do this. You may be able to keep them out of your community, but you'll carry your sickness with you wherever you go. As long as you live, you'll die every time you see a baby smile.

• Paladin : Well, they can't just cancel you out of the human race.

  Clara Benson : Mr Mulrooney says it's the will of God.

• Mrs. Jonas : She ain't recommended.

  Paladin : Oh, why?

  Mrs. Jonas : Couldn't make a go it back East. So she hung up a shingle here. Any woman sees fit to take up doctoring ain't fit to be a woman.

• Paladin : Has a doctor seen this baby?

  Clara Benson : No.

  Paladin : Then you don't know if it's typhoid fever. It might be some other disease.

  Clara Benson : Mr Mulrooney knows.

  Paladin : Who?

  Clara Benson : Jeremiah Mulrooney, the wagon master. He knows the symptoms.

  Paladin : He's the one that cut you loose like this, left you here to dig your own graves?

  Clara Benson : It was either the baby and me or the whole wagon train. Fifty people.

• Paladin : May I remind you that you were run out of your home with guns at your back... you're pretty casual about it.

  Dr. Phyllis Thackeray : I'm not really. This is the second settlement I've worked in. I've collected my share of scar tissue.

• Dr. Phyllis Thackeray : You said it was a long ride.

  Paladin : It is.

  Dr. Phyllis Thackeray : We'll never get there resting.

  Paladin : If we don't rest these horses, we'll never get there at all.

• Paladin : Your own children! Do your own children sound any different to that? When they cry? If one of your children were sick and crying like that, would you send it out to the desert TO DIE?

  Mrs. Jonas : I, I don't reckon I know.

  Paladin : Well, you ask Mulrooney. He makes all the decisions around here.

• Storekeeper Jonas : Sick? How'd you get sick?

  Paladin : I don't know. Just got lucky, I guess.

  [His luck resulted from a one sided negotiation with the Doctor who offered her diagnosis, and cure of three days' rest]
