- Madame Francine: Don't linger too long, Yancy. It's bad enough to know you without having to remember you.
- John Colton: Can you ride a horse?
- Yancy Derringer: Mr. Derringer, I rode a horse from Bull Run to Appomattox.
- John Colton: Yes, I know - we chased you... part of the way.
- Yancy Derringer: Take 'em up to the Sultana, Obadiah.
- Obadiah: Yes, suh.
- Madame Francine: But isn't she on the levee?
- Yancy Derringer: No. I moved her at Cabin's Crossing just below Waverly. There's a cove there. It's quiet; she misses the rush of the river. She's safe - it floats.
- Yancy Derringer: [to Pahoo] I want you to go to Waverly and bring us back two horses while I change clothes. We're going to teach the meaning of the word "charity" to a woman named Charity.
- Rogue Donovan: [to Colton] .31 calibre - makes quite a hole. Here's souvenir for ya. If she had hit you anywhere upstairs, I don't think I'da had me a hostage.
- Lady Charity: I didn't shoot to kill!
- Rogue Donovan: Meaning you know how?
- Lady Charity: I know how.
- Lady Charity: Don't you see - we're fighting for the same thing!
- Rogue Donovan: No we're not, sweetheart. I'm fighting for revenge and a little freedom - you're just greedy.
- Rogue Donovan: Hello, Yancy.
- Yancy Derringer: You're looking well.
- Rogue Donovan: You too, Yancy, and you're what I came for.
- Yancy Derringer: I'm afraid I'm not available.
- Rogue Donovan: Oh, you're available, all right.
- [Pahoo sticks the barrel of his shotgun against Rogue's neck]
- Rogue Donovan: I guess I can wait.
- John Colton: Lady Charity... what's the use. You're not a lady and there's no charity in you. You've even ceased to be a human being. There's only one experience left for you and everyone in this room - death. You can meet it nobly with an infinite act of mercy so that others - even Rogue Donovan - might survive. Or you can die as you lived - disgracefully, consumed by your own bitterness and greed.
- [Rogue was shot saving Yancy and Colton]
- Yancy Derringer: Why did you do it, Rogue?
- Rogue Donovan: It's like your friend said - when you got no place to go but out, you might as well go in style!
- John Colton: Bless you, Mr. Donovan.
- Rogue Donovan: He never give up, does he, Yancy?
- John Colton: Captain Fry - the city?
- Captain Fry: Mr. Colton, New Orleans will be with us for a long time to come - at least until the next flood.
- [last lines]
- Captain Fry: The evacuees are streaming back into the city.
- Yancy Derringer: I have a wonderful idea - let's join them.
