• Colonel Lathrop : You're the second man I've sent up there. The first one never returned.

• Tuolumne O'Toole : I came to warn you. Don't go to Lodestar.

  Paladin : Oh, why not?

  Tuolumne O'Toole : The country's full of bandits and wild Indians and grizzly bears.

  Paladin : Are there cougars?

  Tuolumne O'Toole : Them too.

  Paladin : You're beautiful, Tuolumne, and such a bad liar.

• Paladin : I wonder if you'd mind sharing this with me?

  Mazie - Saloon Gal : Well, I've often wondered what whiskey tastes like... You ain't gonna get any information out of me, Mister. But I can tell you this. She was a first class can of tomatoes.

  Paladin : Was she now?

  Mazie - Saloon Gal : Of course, good looks and in nobility she couldn't hold a candle to me.

  Paladin : You don't say.

  Mazie - Saloon Gal : I do. Why, I could outdrink her any day of the week.

• Paladin : I see you are harbouring my old friend, Petronius Arbiter.

  Colonel Lathrop : Yes, yes. The old scoundrel painted quite a picture of his time, didn't he. Naturally, I've forbidden my wife to read a line of it.

• Colonel Lathrop : Women of that sort were an essential part of the Western history' Isn't that so, Mr Paladin.

  Paladin : Well, I suppose every boom town has a Gloria Morgan as a sort of symbol of its success.

  Colonel Lathrop : As I understand it, she was a great deal more than that. Gloria Morgan was the high priestess of a cult made drunk by wine and sudden wealth. She was beautiful, mysterious, exotic, exciting, sort of a living flame.

• Paladin : You want me to tell people she was a saint?

  Clay Sommers : Nonsense. Have you ever known a woman who was?

  Paladin : No, I haven't. Half saint, half devil. Great deal of turtledove and a whole lot of cat.

  Clay Sommers : That's Gloria.
