Billy the Kid : You see, Patrick, them fellows rile me and I ain't even sure they're from Texas and if they ain't, they're gonna run.
Pat Garrett : And if they are, they'll fight.

[last lines]
[Garrett and the newly deputized Billy Bonney have managed to arrest or kill Blanchard's rioting trailhands]
Pat Garrett : That deputy's badge looks good on you, Billy. Why not keep it?
Billy the Kid : Oh, better not. Some friends of mine might not understand.
Pat Garrett : I'm serious, Billy.
Billy the Kid : So am I, Patrick. See, the law just doesn't mean the same thing to me as it does to Johnny Swift or you and I got a habit of tarnishin' shiny new things, I guess. Now you wouldn't want that to happen to this, would you?
[Billy returns his Deputy Sheriff badge to Pat]
Pat Garrett : Billy, give it some thought.
Billy the Kid : See you around, Patrick.

Billy the Kid : And I'll tell you somethin'. You killed Pat Garrett tonight just as surely as he killed your husband Johnny. Only it wasn't by accident.
Marian Swift : What are you saying?
Billy the Kid : I'm just saying the law meant something to Johnny. Same thing it means to Pat Garrett. Exactly! Give decent people a chance to live decent lives here in Lincoln, protecting them from the hoodlums like those trail herders out there. And men like me.
