Karl Swenson: Kramer

Quotes 

• Marshal Kramer : I figured when I go, I'd be lookin' down a gun barrel. I didn't figure the man on the other end of the gun would be wearin' a star, too.

  Johnny Ringo : A star doesn't change anything between us.

  Marshal Kramer : When you've been wearin' it as long as I have, you get to know what it really means. A man's blood, bones, soul all mixed up together called law. Now there ain't no books ought here that say where and how - the only thing that matters is that the law has got to win.

• Johnny Ringo : Are you afraid, Kramer? You weren't afraid when you shot Mitchell in the back.

  Marshal Kramer : I'm too old for bein' afraid. Only a proud man is provoked by false pride. Don't worry me to lose a battle now and then... so long's as I win the war.

• [Kramer pulls a gun on Ringo] 

  Marshal Kramer : Ringo, you do what I say!

  Johnny Ringo : Would you like me to turn my back?

• [Kramer insists on traveling despite his broken ribs] 

  Marshal Kramer : When we get to Yuma, we settle; until then, he's my prisoner. I say we move on. Now, what'll it be?

  Johnny Ringo : Kramer, I don't care how you die, just as long I'm there to see it. If you want to kill yourself that's your business

• [last lines] 

  Marshal Kramer : Like you, I pay what I owe. I told you when we got to Yuma I'd take this star off and we'd settle. There it is.

  Johnny Ringo : No, Kramer, a man like you should never take off this badge. I think I know what you meant about mixing a man's blood, soul and bones together and calling it a piece of tin. You know, it's funny, but somewhere along the line, I seem to have lost my revenge.

  Marshal Kramer : You're a good lawman, Ringo. What's more, you're a man.

  Johnny Ringo : From you, I'll take that.
