- Beau Crommer: Grief, Mr. Paladin, is a bourgeois emotion; only the poor to be pitied in death, because they fail to inherit.
- Paladin: I don't wanna kill you.
- Ronson - Gunfighter: Well, I don't aim to let ya. No whippersnapper pushes me!
- Paladin: Ronson, you're a bushwhacker! You'd shoot a man in the back of the head or an elbow! I'm not asleep and my back's not turned! You're out of your element!
- General Crommer: That horn toad plugged me right in the stomach, left me for dead.
- Paladin: That sounds fair to me.
- Paladin: [to his lady friend in Room 412] Some more caviar? It's the greatest thing to come out of Russia since the news of the death of Ivan the Terrible.
- Ronson - Gunfighter: If you ain't gone in half an hour, I'm gonna kill ya.
- Paladin: Well, I don't think I've ever heard that put more succinctly.
- Ronson - Gunfighter: Well, I mean it.
- Paladin: Why?
- Ronson - Gunfighter: Because.
