- Paladin: All you have to do is close your eyes and squeeze the trigger. With a crowd like this, you'd be bound to get a few.
- Paladin: Well, a cattle town during round-up can be an extremely dangerous place.
- Charles Matthews: Nonsense.
- Paladin: San Diego is more dangerous than most. In addition to the usual drunks, cowboys, men who haven't seen a woman for a year, there are gunslingers, sailors, bandits from across the border, comancheros.
- Victoria Vestris: You make it sound irresistible.
- Ben Jackson: Paladin! Nobody gun you down yet!
- Paladin: They keep trying.
- Ben Jackson: Good luck to them!
- Charles Matthews: So this is the wild, wild West, mm? Champagne and chamber music.
- Victoria Vestris: You made our stay in San Francisco so gay.
- Victoria Vestris: Oh, Mr Paladin.
- Charles Matthews: Oh, so you came after all.
- Paladin: Keep moving. Go to the hotel.
- Charles Matthews: Go to the hotel? Are you mad? Victoria and I are leaving this Sodom and Gomorrah forthwith!
- Ben Jackson: Now this actor fellow already broke the peace making remarks about me in this 'paper, and causing a dangerous situation. I better bring him back to line if I'm going to earn my living.
- Paladin: Well, I could take you over that part of your work.
- Ben Jackson: You wouldn't enjoy it as much.
- Charles Matthews: What do I do with it? I'm not familiar with a gun.
- Victoria Vestris: He's very good with a sword.
- Paladin: Nothing to it. Close your eyes and squeeze. In a crowd like this, you're bound to hit a few.
- Lucien Bellingham: Tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind a little gun shooting around here, if I can make some money at it.
