- Sheriff Dyson: Why? $1,000 dead or alive, that's why. You know that's the same as issuing a lynching licence.
- Major Quincy Bannister: You've come a long way, soldier, just to return a book.
- Johnny Yuma: Well, to tell the truth, Major, I was kinda hoping you'd lend me another.
- Major Quincy Bannister: There's another $500 in it for you, if, when you turn the prisoner over to Sherrif Dyson, he's accompanied by a signed confession.
- Major Quincy Bannister: Aman's honour and a man's integrity, these aren't surrendered along with his sword.
- Cassandra Bannister: Was there ever such a paradox? You know, contemptuous as my brother is against the common herd, he himself is obsessively dedicated to advertising a product, the Bannister dynasty.
- Johnny Yuma: You don't just buy and sell justice.
- Cassandra Bannister: You do, if your name happens to be Bannister, Mr Yuma.
- Cassandra Bannister: Did you know I was a victim of the war, Mr Yuma?
- Johnny Yuma: A victim?
- Cassandra Bannister: Oh, my, yes. The same war that crippled my brother Quincy, it also wounded me.
- Johnny Yuma: I don't understand.
- Cassandra Bannister: In every military engagement my future hopes were whittled away. There was less and less remaining of the flower of Southern aristocracy. Each one of these losses I suffered personally.
- Johnny Yuma: I guess we all gave something to the war, Miss Bannister.
- Cassandra Bannister: Indeed we did. You see before you an ageing spinster restricted by the Bannister name.
- Cassandra Bannister: The wrong men died at Gettysburg. All I wanted was somebody to love, I didn't think that was asking too much.
- Major Quincy Bannister: 30,000 men we lost, killed, wounded, or missing in action at Gettysburg. The fact that Johnny Yuma was not among that number is a mighty miracle. Let us say the enchantment of that miracle has finally expired.
