• Denver McKee : Well, the boys seem happy. How 'bout you?

  Miles Briscoe : I don't like the way things are goin'.

  Denver McKee : Why? What's wrong?

  Miles Briscoe : I didn't want there to be no killin's. We decided that when we started all this.

  Denver McKee : But when you point a gun at a man, sometimes he has to go for his own. When that happens, he's got to pull the trigger. If I learned one thing as a sheriff, it was that!

  Miles Briscoe : You never learned to shoot no man in the back.

• Denver McKee : All right, it's about time I started taking care of my own house. I've taken care of other people's houses for twenty years - what the devil did it ever get me? A hundred dollars a month, a lot of plaques, a pat on the back and a bullet in the shoulder!

• Denver McKee : Corey, the miner you shot yesterday, is still alive!

  Harley : I must be out of practice.

  Denver McKee : You're not out of practice - you're out of brains!
