Quotes
-
Paladin : Ofttimes, the fruit of the vine will lend surcease to the pain of the mind.

Paladin : Gorman, about that Lucky 13. There's a legend that when the world began there were thirteen gods. Only twelve of them were acquainted with one another. So, to learn the stranger's identity, they invited him to a banquette. And to their everlasting sorrow he came. The thirteenth god was Death.

Paladin : After a couple of days, when you two really get thirst, don't look back to find me. Look up. Above you. The buzzards will tell you how near the end is.
-
Howard Gorman : Something I can do for you?
Paladin : Yes, you could give me some information - like who you are, and where you're going, and why?
Howard Gorman : That's a lot of information to give to a stranger.
Paladin : My name is Paladin.
Howard Gorman : You're still a stranger to me. But I don't mind telling you, I'm Howard Gorman.
-
Paladin : Mr. Gorman, why are you following us?
Howard Gorman : Why would anybody want to follow you?
Paladin : I'll know the answer to that when I have the answers to my other questions.
-
Paladin : Well now, I've heard of you. Twelve men, isn't it?
Howard Gorman : E-yeah. And maybe I better start thinking about adding that lucky thirteenth.

Sid Morgan : Why are you doing this, Paladin?
Paladin : Because it's necessary.
Shawcross : Same as murder.
Paladin : I'm sure you two gentlemen are much better qualified to define murder than I am.
-
Sid Morgan : You've got no complaint, Mr. Paladin. You were well paid.
Paladin : For what? For killing a man in a sideshow?

Paladin : Alright, Morgan. Now carry Shawcross back over here to the buckboard.
Sid Morgan : He's dead.
Paladin : Well, that's too bad. We'll need the body anyway. This time you're not beyond the law. I'm taking you back to stand trial for murder.
Sid Morgan : You come near and I'll kill ya.
