Quotes
-
Mayor Harper : Well, here it is. Some of us feel by rights you should split it.
Barber : You couldn't have done it alone.
Paladin : I didn't say I could. But since Melisssa has your guns and your pledges and that's all she asked for, I will accept your money since that's all I asked for.
Melissa Griffin : That's fair I suppose but of course I don't have your pledge.
Barber : Ain't you going her way?
Paladin : Heraclitus says that all ways are the same way. And it could be that he's right.
-
Paladin : You are beautiful. And your faith is beautiful, but sometimes the essence of beauty is its fragility. And Bugbear is not a good place to test it.
Melissa Griffin : Are you afraid of a test?
Paladin : No.
Melissa Griffin : Neither am I.
-
Paladin : Perhaps we could strike some kind of compromise. I make it a practice never to wear a gun when I'm having dinner with a lady.
Melissa Griffin : Perhaps that's just when you should keep your powder dry, Mr. Paladin.
-
Paladin : Well, you are a woman of great determination.
Melissa Griffin : Does that frighten you? It's frightened every other man.
Paladin : No. But I do puzzle about you.
Melissa Griffin : Perhaps you imagine me leading the martyrs into the Colosseum.
Paladin : Oh, no. I should be very concerned for the lions in that case.
