• [first lines] 

  Harry : You really serious about going out there, Johnny?

  Johnny Ringo : I don't get job offers every day, Harry - not like this.

  Harry : Is the offer for Johnny Ringo or his gun?

  Johnny Ringo : ...I just separate the two.

• Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner : I got the idea from a French gunsmith called LeMat. Think of it, Johnny - a seven-shooter! One extra bullet that'll make all the difference.

  Johnny Ringo : A seven-shooter, huh? How does it work?

  Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner : Well, it looks like a regular six-shooter, but there's a separate barrel for an extra shell. Not just a forty-five shell, mind you, but a .410 shotgun shell.

• Pat Merlin : They tell me at the stable Ringo's here.

  Harry : Might be. You a friend of his?

  Pat Merlin : Sorta. Is he inside?

  Johnny Ringo : I'm Ringo. What can I do for you?

  Pat Merlin : Why, my name is Merlin, Pat Merlin. This is my son, Hank. We came a long way, Mr. Ringo. My boy here is going to kill you.

• [to Pat Merlin after he shoots Pat's son in an unnecessary gunfight] 

  Johnny Ringo : Why would God give a son to somebody like you?

• [Case, the acting sheriff, offers to escort Johnny to the nearest saloon] 

  Johnny Ringo : Now wait a minute. You sure you can leave here?

  Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner : Of course I can leave here. You see, I'm only kind of an acting sheriff as you might say. The name's Thomas, Case Thomas

  Johnny Ringo : Glad to meet you. Where's your regular sheriff?

  Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner : Oh, about a mile from here... it was a nice funeral.

• Johnny Ringo : [after seeing a seven shooter pistol]  Say, that WILL make a difference!
