• [Rooster confronts the four outlaws across the field] 

  Ned Pepper : What's your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall?

  Rooster Cogburn : I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be?

  Ned Pepper : I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.

  Rooster Cogburn : Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!

• Mattie Ross : Do you need a good lawyer?

  Ned Pepper : I need a good judge!

• Ned Pepper : [laughs]  They will do it. Most girls like little play pretties, but you like guns, don't you?

  Mattie Ross : If I did I'd have one that worked.

• Ned Pepper : Now, what are you doin' here?

  Mattie Ross : Tom Chaney shot my father to death in Fort Smith. I was told that Rooster Cogburn has grit. I hired him to go after the murderer. I found him myself and I shot him. If I killed him I would not be in this fix. My revolver misfired.
