• Marshal Mark Strett : Somebody after you?

  Jimmy Ringo : Three somebodies.

  Marshal Mark Strett : The law?

  Jimmy Ringo : Naw, this is personal.

  Marshal Mark Strett : I don't want 'em to catch up with you here.

  Jimmy Ringo : I don't want 'em to catch up with me anywhere.

• Jimmy Ringo : You're Hunt Bromley, ain't ya?

  Hunt Bromley : Yeah. You heard of me already?

  Jimmy Ringo : Yeah, I heard about you. I heard you're a cheap, no-good, bar-room loafer. If I didn't have somethin' else on my mind, I'd take them guns away from ya and slap ya cross-eyed.

• Jimmy Ringo : Why don't you button up your britches and go home?

• Jimmy Ringo : How come I've got to run into a squirt like you nearly every place I go these days? What are you trying to do? Show off for your friends?

• Peggy Walsh : When did you get this idea, Jim?

  Jimmy Ringo : Well, I didn't *get* it, it just kinda came over me. The way gettin' older comes over ya. All of a sudden, you look at things different than the way ya did five years ago. All of a sudden, I knew this was the only thing in the world I wanted.

• Jimmy Ringo : [to Archie, the boy sweeping up the saloon]  You got a livery stable here, boy?

  Archie : [just stares at Jimmy Ringo] 

  Mac : Uh, he's a little astonished, Jimmy.

  Jimmy Ringo : When you get him un-astonished, tell him to take care of my horse.

• Jimmy Ringo : What was I supposed to do, stand there and let that little boy shoot me full of holes?

• Jimmy Ringo : Well, didn't he... didn't he leave you anything?

  Molly : Mmm-hmm. A horse, a saddle, two guns and fifteen dollars.

• Peggy Walsh : How does he look?

  Marshal Mark Strett : Oh, about the same, I guess. A little older, a little tireder.

  Jimmy Ringo : [Later]  How does she look?

  Marshal Mark Strett : Oh, about the same, I guess. A little older, but just as pretty as ever.

• Jimmy Ringo : What about my boy? Does he think I'm a hero?

  Marshal Mark Strett : No. Matter of fact, I heard he's a Wyatt Earp man.

  Jimmy Ringo : Earp? Why, you shoulda taught him better than that!

  Marshal Mark Strett : Me? And where was you this whole time?

• Jimmy Ringo : Now turn around and head for the door. Keep movin' and don't do anything sudden with your hands.

  Hunt Bromley : I'll be seein' ya, Mister Ringo...

  Jimmy Ringo : All the way outside, sonny.

• Jimmy Ringo : What about this? Ain't some of you fellas in charge of this donkey?

• Bit Part : Eddie don't mean no real harm, Mr. Ringo.

  Jimmy Ringo : Then let Eddie keep his big, ugly nose out of my business if he don't want to get it slapped.
