- Paladin: Well, Edwards says here that he found your son. Now, surely that's more than a clue?
- Lane Kilmer: Is it? Edwards disappeared with my mother's money. He was never heard from again.
- Paladin: I like my enemies out in the open where I can fight them with no false courtesy.
- Fred Harper: I was gonna run you out of town but stay, you stay, and keep the pussycat with you.
- Fred Harper: Come on, Moseley, lose that temper of yours. The good Lord give it to you lose, didn't he? I been waiting a long time. I been waiting almost 10 years.
- Paladin: Moseley, why does Harper hate you?
- Fred Mosely: Why do men climb mountains? Some men, it's gambling, some, it's drinking. With me, it's talking the Word of the Lord. That's what started it. Harper knows he can't stand up to that. So he hit me. He tried to frighten me. But to hit a man and he don't hit back, ges to be a challenge.
