Quotes 

• Brett Wade : Well, this is an honor. Probably the first time a corpse has ever been asked to deliver his own funeral oration. I expected to be carried out of Lordsburg, but here I stand on my way to Colorado filled with wind instead of lead. I couldn't include most of you in my will, but I do leave you all the unmined silver in these hills, all the unspilled whiskey, all the unkissed ladies and all the unfilled straights and flushes. I want to apologize for leaving the party. For me, there never has been, and never will be, another like it. And finally, I want to apologize to all of those of you who hoped to gain the distinction of being the man or woman to shoot and kill the notorious Brett Wade.

  Jimmy Rapp : No apologies necessary, Wade. I'm here to oblige you.

• Sheriff Cauthen : If you're in town by sundown tomorrow, I'm going to throw you in jail.

  Jimmy Rapp : On what charge?

  Sheriff Cauthen : Disturbin' my peace of mind.

• Sheriff Cauthen : Let's have your gun.

  Jimmy Rapp : I'm naked without it!

  Sheriff Cauthen : It's all right. I won't arrest you for being naked.

• Sheriff Cauthen : Hey, take it easy. They ain't gonna run out of that stuff.

  Jimmy Rapp : When I stop drinking, you start worrying.

  Sheriff Cauthen : It's too late. I've already started worrying.
