- Deputy Lane Travis: Remember when I told you once about never having to dodge bullets from a dead man? Well, that still goes.
- Johnny Carter: When you kill a man, he dies just as bad or just as stupid as the moment when you put the bullet in him. If you let him live, he's still got a chance to learn things.
- Deputy Lane Travis: Well, that's smart... provided he learns the right things.
- Johnny Carter: You know, personally, I think there are only three things worth living for: fine guns, good horses and beautiful women.
