- Paladin: Reverend, you said there was no room in your town for gunfighter, yet there was room in that gunfighter's heart for love.
- Paladin: Our valley, Mr Bowman? Their valley? Or is it only your valley? Your people, your will be done?
- Judd Bowman: I'd hoped you'd be a reasonable man.
- Paladin: Friend, will you excuse me.
- [Bowman's henchman uses the butt of his rifle to render Paladin unconscious]
- Judd Bowman: Take him to the edge of town. Don't kill him. Just come within an inch of it.
- Lauro - Mexican Man: It's better to lose your gun than your life.
- Paladin: Like Abel Hix?
- Lauro - Mexican Man: Si. You very much like him. Ah, it's a good thing, Senor. But you not old, you not sick.It's enough to see one such man die.
- Paladin: Sick to death, tired to exhaustion, with two broken arms, Abel Hix could outdraw you sixty times every hour if it was a fair fight.
- Judd Bowman: Well, he didn't.
- Lauro - Mexican Man: Senor Paladin, I am Lauro. I watch the sheeps for Senor Hix.
- Paladin: That's an ancient and honourable profession, Lauro.
