Quotes 

• Charley Bowdre : We work for Mr. Tunstall as regulators. We regulate any stealing off his property - we're damn good too! Mr. Tunstall's got a soft spot for runaways, dareless, vagrant types. But you can't be any geek off the street, gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean, earn your keep.

• [Steve is laughing at Bonney at the dinner table] 

  John Tunstall : What do you find funny, Steven? That's no proper table manners.

  Charley Bowdre : He's got a way with hogs.

  John Tunstall : Congratulations, Charles. You and Steven will be doing the dirty crockery alone this evening.

  Charley Bowdre : Sorry, John. It just struck me funny.

  John Tunstall : And to William, both of you.

  Charley Bowdre : Apologies, Billy. We was just hacking on you.

  "Dirty Steve" Stephens : Yeah, we was just hacking on you.

  Richard Brewer : Rumor has it you killed a man, Billy. You don't seem like the killing sort.

  "Dirty Steve" Stephens : Yeah, Billy. What'd you kill him for?

• Charley Bowdre : Hey, Billy. I've got to get out of here. I've got a wife. She's this little Mexican gal. Please, Billy.

• Charley Bowdre : I'm not a pistoleer or a knifesmith like that greaser Chavez Chavez over there. I'm a pugilist.

• Charley Bowdre : Hey Kenney, you bastard. It's you and I.

• Charley Bowdre : Hey, you ain't no regulator, boy. You just stay here with the pork. They're smarter than you anyway; you might learn something.

• Charley Bowdre : We work for Mr. Tunstall as regulators. We regulate any stealing of his property - we're damn good too! Mr. Tunstall's got a soft spot for runaways, derelicts, vagrant types.
