The world is what you make of it, friend. If it doesn’t fit, you make alterations.
– Stella
I’ll drink to that.
– Paden

Stella. Are you the Midnight Star herself?
– Paden
I am. I’m always there, but I only shine at night.
– Stella

Now, I don’t wanna kill you, and you don’t wanna be dead.
– Mal Johnson

Brave man!
– Baxter
I think there’s just a couple o’ guys up there and this asshole is one of them!
– Dawson

How do I know this is your horse?
– Cavalry Sgt.
Can’t you see this horse loves me?
– Paden
I had a gal do that to me. It didn’t make her my wife.
– Cavalry Sgt.

We’re gonna give you a fair trial, followed by a first class hanging.
– Cobb

Wait a minute. Even if you do get the money, how do we know you’ll come back?
– Conrad
Well, if we don’t you can keep my brother.
– Emmett

You know, a good smelly saloon is my favorite place in the world.
– Paden

All I did was kiss a girl!
– Jake
They got you in jail for that?
– Emmett
Yeah, I kissed a girl, and this other fella didn’t like it, so we had some words, and so I decided to get out of there. So I did, I got out of there. You know me, Emmett, I don’t want no trouble. So, I go outside, and this fellow tries to shoot me in the back.
– Jake
You had to kill him?
– Emmett
No, no, I winged him. And he dropped his gun.
– Jake
They got you in jail for winging a guy?
– Emmett
Well… no, not exactly. Because, see, then his friend opened up on me.
– Jake
What friend is that?
– Emmett
The one with the shotgun.
– Jake
The DEAD one.
– Sheriff Langston

What’s goin’ on, sheriff?
– Shopkeeper
Hide and watch.
– Cobb

Lyin’ Pete always said you’d hang. I guess tomorrow at dawn he’ll be proved right.
– Emmett
Ten A.M.
– Sheriff Langston
Oh, right, I always thought they did it at dawn.
– Emmett

You’re Dawson, ain’t ya? Tex Larue. I used to ride with Rye Marsh, you know him. Well, Andy Simms told me there’s a hideout near here, so I headed for it. I hope you don’t mind.
– Emmett
Mind? You brought a posse to my best hideout and you ask me if I mind? Mister, I don’t know any of those names. You’re about to die.
– Dawson

What’s all this, then?
– Sheriff Langston

Mister, you got a lot to learn about people.
– Mal
