Quotes 

• Paladin : Well, I think your fiance might agree that this money was fairly earned.

  Lydia Moss : Maybe you just should have just stayed in San Francisco and not butted in at all.

  Paladin : Now that kind of remark calls for a very special kind of an answer and I wish I could think of it.

• Lydia Moss : Thaddeus. If you're gonna track mud in, you're gonna sweep it out too, dear.

  Paladin : Hmm. Now I feel better. Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. Thaddeus!

• Lydia Moss : It works, even with him

  [her huge hulk of a brother, Clyde] 

  Lydia Moss : . Why, you're all like children, aren't you? It's not only bad, it's foolish to use a whip on a child.

• Lydia Moss : Maybe you'd prefer to go out and eat with the hogs.

  Paladin : Miss Moss, don't apologize to me for your cooking. I'm sure the over seasoning was just a mistake.

  Lydia Moss : Over what? We've had your cowboy friends ride three days to eat at this table.

  Paladin : It is amazing how cowboys and ranch hands develop a fondness for that peculiar flavor of chuck wagon cooking. Very few kitchens can reproduce it.

• Paladin : Lesson number one - never touch a man in desperation, in anger or in fear. A real woman, a proper female kind of woman tries to perpetuate the legend that her touch is as rare as a fine jewel. That it's given only to a very special person at a very special moment.

  Lydia Moss : That doesn't make sense. It's not even practical.

  Paladin : Lesson number two - forget all about logic. Now, how in the world get her hair into this condition? What do you do, starch and iron it?

  [She has gloriously thick blonde hair, plaited and swirled around over each ear. The inspiration for Princess Leia] 

• Lydia Moss : Do I have to be a liar to be a woman?

  Paladin : You'll know when a moment for honesty comes and it'll make truth out of every illusion you've created.

• Lydia Moss : Miss Moss. Here are your robes. I believe you're about ready to graduate.

  Paladin : Miss Moss. Here are your robes. I believe you're about ready to graduate.

• Lydia Moss : I warned you against talking to strangers. And you, I know your type! A gambler likely, fancy clothes and a trick up both sleeves just waiting for some poor simpleton like this to walk in.

  Thad Taylor : No, Ma'am. All we was doing.

  Lydia Moss : Lucifer written all over his face, or maybe that's what attracted you. In a town full of sin, who makes a better guide than a sinner.

  Thad Taylor : Y'see?

  Lydia Moss : Come along, Thaddeus, we have more important things to do.
