Quotes 

• Paladin : Major, let me set the record straight. I did not come here for old school gossip, to sing class songs, or to discuss personal affairs, past or present. If you have a problem, please detail it, and I'll name a price.

• Paladin : Major, I've had a look at this post. A half hour ceremony won't impress me.

• Paladin : I'm telling you to act like a cavalry officer.

  Lt. Harvey : You from the Inspector General?

  Paladin : Lieutenant, unless the Army as changed considerably, War Department Order 7 dash one zero four is still on the books. And I asked to see your Commanding Officer.

  Lt. Harvey : I usually take care of his business for him, Mister.

  Paladin : Well, Lieutenant, you just met the exception.

• Major J. Wilson : Gold, Paladin. Isn't that word enough for you?

  Paladin : If the Maricopas find us, I hope they believe us that it was your idea to kill those guides.

  Major J. Wilson : But the sight of it, just lying there, a year's salary in one handful, Paladin- You can't afford to kill me, I know the location of the treasure.

  Paladin : You're right in the Maricopas' backyard, Wilson. They're probably watching us right now.

  Major J. Wilson : Look, Paladin...

  Paladin : WHAT GOOD IS GOLD TO A DEAD MAN?

• Paladin : I'll tell you this, Major, if your reciprocate, you'll provoke open warfare.

  Major J. Wilson : And if I don't, they'll think I'm weak. Either way it'll involve innocent settlers, women and children.

  Paladin : There's a third way. You could parley with Gerada, the Chief, and find out what's troubling him.

  Major J. Wilson : Yes, but I can't go in there with troops. Now from what I understand, you could take me in there, just the two of us.

  Paladin : Major, have you ever heard of the Maricopa treasure, the tribal goldmine?

  Major J. Wilson : This country's thick with stories like that.

  Paladin : There is a huge vein of white quartz, so heavily loaded with free gold you can dig it out with a knife.

  Major J. Wilson : Well, I happen to be interested in other things. Human lives.

• Chief Gerada : The others with me fear that gold will split even the tongue of the man called Paladin.

  Paladin : I have spoken true.
