The Loner (1959)

Thomas Mitchell: Cason Thomas

Quotes 

• Johnny Ringo : I never killed a man for money! Never!

  Cason Thomas : Sorry, Johnny. You hear stories.

  Johnny Ringo : You ever face a man, Case, knowing you were the last person he was ever going to see before he died? Not his wife, not his kids, but you... A man ought to be surrounded with love when he dies.

• Cason Thomas : What started it, son?

  Johnny Ringo : I don't know, it just grew. First time you felt like a big man, everybody congratulating you... Then you try it again, just to see how good you really are. One day you find you're like a turkey in a shoot. Everybody wants to try their luck. You can't stop it. You wanna, but you can't. You run, they catch you. You hide, they find you. Sometimes you think it'd be better to lose. Be a little slower and get it over with. You think so, but you just can't slow down that hand. It's not even a part of you. It's learned its job too well.
