Quotes 

• Sam : You just stood up in church and told Kinbriugh you was goin' to kill him? Bart, you must be plum crazy!

  Bart Allison : I'm doin' this my own way, Sam. For three years I've hunted Kimbrough, but he didn't know it. Before I settle with him, I want him to know he's bein' hunted.

  Sam : [after a bullet shot through the window whistles near Sam's head]  You ain't huntin' him no more. He's huntin' you.

• Sheriff Swede Hansen : That sign means what it says, mister.

  Bart Allison : [With certitude]  So do I, sheriff.

• [Discussing Sundown's town boss Tate Kimbrough] 

  Bart Allison : Is he a big man in Sundown?

  Sam : The biggest! He's got that town in his fist and he's squeezin' it hard. Ain't heard folks complain much. Guess they're all scared.

  Bart Allison : I'm glad to hear he's doing so well. When a man's riding high, the ground comes up and hits him a lot harder when he falls.

• Sheriff Swede Hansen : You'd better leave town if you want to stay in one piece.

  Bart Allison : I'll leave when I finish what I came for.

• Sam : Bart, I think you done a fool thing. After all that searching around, it seems like you would have been satisfiedl to just kill him on sight.

  Bart Allison : Even a rattler gives a warning.

  Sam : Oh, yeah, well, if they give as much advance warning as you're givin' that Kimbrough, rattlesnakes would be as out-of-date as them dinosaurs.
