Peter Mark Richman: Lloyd Mastic

Quotes 

• Mastic : Hello, Verbena, you sure have filled out, haven't you? I hear you got yourself married. Which one of the herd is he?

• Mastic : I'm surprised at you, Poppa. I wouldn't shoot you. I wouldn't shoot my own step-poppa. You must think I got no family feelings at all.

• Mastic : I'll tell you, Padre. First rule I learnt in gunfighting is don't believe anybody. Second, get something solid in front of you if you can. That way you just have to sweep 180 degrees. See? Just like a snake.

• Father Fabian : You think your folks have forgotten what you've done?

  Mastic : He was a pean, Padre. He was my servant. He didn't obey fast enough.

  Father Fabian : He was a 14 year old boy shot down by you. And it wasn't because he didn't saddle your horse fast enough. It was because you wanted to kill a human being. God help you.

• Mastic : LOOK FOR THE ONE WITH THE SNAKE, BOY! This snake's not on the ground, boy. It's oiled and packed in leather and faster than anything you'll ever see.
