- Paladin: Killing that boy is a thing I regret having had to do, but if you push me further, you or your brothers, I won't shoot one of you in the arm and hold my fire on the other. I won't chance it a second time.
- Paladin: Well, Hey Boy, in my business it's always a question whether I find something, or something finds me.
- Paladin: My apologies, Mr Truett, But it's a thing I felt I could do best alone.
- Sheriff Sam Truett: There was a time when no man could have done to me what Charlie Dawes did to me today. Or what you did either. There was a time, gunfighter.
- Paladin: I know that, sir, I'm sure of it.
- Sheriff Sam Truett: You're smug, and that's good. When the time comes and they find you, it'll make it easy.
- Paladin: Who's they?
- Sheriff Sam Truett: I want you out of this town in fifteen minutes.
- Paladin: Who are the others?
- Sheriff Sam Truett: The boy you murdered has three brothers. Their blood runs thick. You met one last night, but Charlie and Clay are not so young. They won't stop, and they won't miss. Now I'm warning you.
- Paladin: Where are they?
- Sheriff Sam Truett: Are you sweating gunfighter?
- Paladin: It's a hot day. I sweat like anyone else.
- Sheriff Sam Truett: Like Jimmy Dawes did?
