Quotes 

  • Emma : I'm going to kill you.

    Vienna : I know. If I don't kill you first.

  • Emma : [Passionately addressing the members of the posse]  You heard her tell how they're gonna' run the railroad through here, bringin' thousands of new people from the east. Farmers! Dirt farmers! Squatters! They'll push us out. Is that what you're waitin' for? You're actin' like she's some fine lady, and doin' nothin' makes all of you fine gentlemen. Well, she ain't, and you're not! So you better wake up. Or you're gonna' find you and your women and your kids squeezed between barbed wire and fence posts. Is that what you're waitin' for? Well, I'm not!

  • Emma : That's big talk for a little gun.

  • Emma : I wouldn't spit on him. Oh, he was always eyeing me. I never told my poor brother because Len would have killed him. That's why he held up the stage and killed my brother, because now he thinks he can get me. That's why.

    Vienna : You've got it a little twisted, haven't you, Emma? Now you think you can get him.

    Emma : She's crazy.

    Vienna : You want the Kid, and you're so ashamed of it, you want him dead!

  • Emma : You don't hear so good. We don't want you here.

    Vienna : You don't own the earth! Not this part of it.

    John McIvers : You stay, and you'll keep only enough of it to bury you in.

    Vienna : I intend to be buried here - in the 20th century.

  • Emma : You can't shoot all of us.

    Vienna : Two of you will do.

    Emma : You don't have the nerve.

    Vienna : Try me.

  • Emma : Is that what you're waiting for? You're acting like she's some fine lady and doing nothing makes all of you fine gentlemen. Well, she ain't, and you're not. So you better wake up or you're going to find you and your women and your kids squeezed between barbed wires and fence posts. Is that what you're waiting for? Well, I'm not.

  • Emma : I've been right about that woman ever since she came. I wanted to run her out before she ever got in, but you wouldn't listen, none of you.

  • Emma : [to Vienna]  You're nothin' but a railroad tramp! You're not fit to live among us!

  • Emma : You all think she's some fine lady and that doing nothing makes you fine gentlemen. Well she ain't! And you're not!

  • Emma : She's lying, that tramp!

  • Emma : You heard it from Turkey's own lips, men. What are you going to do now?
