- Gil Borden: Hey, what do you think you're doing, Mister?
- Paladin: Oh, I was just trying to organise this, the, ah, personal...
- Gil Borden: Well, this is my wife's petticoat.
- Paladin: I recognized it. It's Belgian lace and it's very pretty.
- Gil Borden: I don't like your sense of humor, Mister
- Ed McKay: What's wrong? You scared of Mickey too? Bet Judd Calhoun scared of a tiny little fella like Mickey.
- Judd Calhoun: I ain't scared of nobody. I told yer.
- Ed McKay: Except little Mickey.
- Judd Calhoun: No, I ain't scared of nobody, you hear.
- Ed McKay: Show me.
- Gil Borden: All right. Who was it?
- Ed McKay: Him.
- Paladin: Borden, use your head. What reason would I have to hurt your wife?
- Ed McKay: Look at him. He's a fast gun. He likes hurting people.
- Paladin: You don't believe that, do you?
- Gil Borden: I can't disbelieve it.
- Ed McKay: He was right there, at the horse, fussing with the saddle, fixing the cinch. Ask anybody.
- Mickey: That's right. I saw it from inside the saloon. He was fooling around with that cinch.
- Gil Borden: It better be the truth, Ed.
- Ed McKay: You think anybody is crazy enough to lie to you? Ask Judd, he was there.
- Nora Borden: And please forgive my husband's temper. Sometimes I think he'd rather fight than eat.
- Paladin: Well, that's good for the waistline and hard on the knuckles.
- Paladin: Isn't your wife invited to this party?
- Gil Borden: You won't enjoy it as much as I will.
- Paladin: I think she'd like to see you as a hero, judge, jury, and executioner all wrapped up in one.
- Gil Borden: Tie him up, Ed.
- Paladin: She'll be real pleased with you... Shooting an innocent man, unarmed, with his hands carefully tied. She'd be really impressed with you.
- Gil Borden: One more word out of you!
- Ed McKay: Go on, Borden, put him away.
- Paladin: Let Mr Borden have his big moment.
- Ed McKay: He's trying to talk you into fighting.
- Mickey: Yeah, he ain't worth it.
- Gil Borden: You guys shut up.
- Paladin: I was told you'd rather fight than eat. Are you looking for a change of diet?
- Nora Borden: [Paladin has just given his $2000 payment to Nora for medical expenses, but says he'll get it back anyway] How will you get it back?
- Paladin: The doctor I told you about, in San Francisco? He's a first-rate doctor, but he's a second-rate poker player.
- Paladin: Would you step into the barn with me for a moment?
- Judd Calhoun: What for?
- Paladin: Well, the daylight has become rather bad for my health.
