- Storekeeper Frazier: How are you gonna do it?
- Paladin: Now which one are you?
- Storekeeper Frazier: You just said my name.
- Paladin: Yes, I know your name. But which one are you? Are you the one that put the rope around his neck? Or did you cry out for the trap to be sprung? Huh?
- Storekeeper Frazier: There were a lot of hands on the rope that night.
- Sayer - Man With Rifle: Did he ever tell you my old man was 85 year old when I was born? And he died when I was 15? In a gunfight over a woman?
- Paladin: He's gonna kill one of you. The problem is to find out which one.
- Aaron Bell: Yeah, yeah. And then what?
- Paladin: Then why you wanna kill him... Then I decide whether or not to let him. You people asked me to protect you against Aaron. The only way to protect you from having him kill all of you is to stay with you day and night, year after year. And even I was willing to do that, not one of you would wanna live that kind of life, never knowing when the bullet was coming.
