Quotes 

• Kid : No no no no, you see it's a gun fight. We both have guns. We aim, we fire, you die.

• Kid : I'm so damned fast I can wake up at the crack of dawn, rob two banks, a train and a stage coach, shoot the tail feathers off a duck's ass at 300 feet, and still be back in bed before you wake up next to me.

• Kid : The Smith and Wesson Schofield .45. Just meat and potatoes. Me and Jesse James think it's the best handgun in the world. Had the trigger guard removed, it saves drawin' time. Don't ever wear it when you're drunk, or you'll kill your feet.

• Kid : Want some breakfast? Or, uh, how 'bout a little of what we had last night?

• Kid : Am I fast, or is Sweden just a very small place?

• Kid : Is it possible? Is it possible to improve on _perfection_?

• Kid : [after being shot in a gunfight by Herod]  Shit, that was fast!

  [Falls to the ground] 

• Kid : I'm worth $3,000 in four states. Seventy-five offenses and no convictions. My name's Fee but, uh... everyone calls me the Kid.

  Ellen : Congratulations.

• Kid : Shit, that was fast.

• Ellen : What can you possibly get out of this? What do you want?

  Kid : All I want is his respect.

• Kid : And this, this is the best help a man could get. The Smith and Wesson Schofield .45. Just meat and potatoes. Me and Jesse James think it's the best handgun in the world. Had the trigger guard removed, it saves drawin' time. Don't ever wear it when you're drunk, or you'll kill your feet.

• Kid : Am I fast, or is Sweden just a very small place? Tell me now!

• Kid : Is it possible? Is it possible to improve on perfection?

• Kid : The gunfight is in the head, not the hands.

• John Herod : When's the last time you held a gun, Cort?

  Cort : You know when.

  John Herod : Heh. Yes.

  Kid : Here. I got offered $120 for this Colt. You wanna try it out?

  [he tosses it to Cort, who spins it around on his fingers] 

  John Herod : You got $120, Cort?

  Cort : I don't have any money. The Lord provides me with everything I need.

  John Herod : [Cort returns the pistol]  Mm. We're just wasting this boy's time, then, aren't we? I'll tell you what, I'll be a good Samaritan. What's the cheapest gun you got? Not in the case. I mean the cheapest piece of worthless crap you got in the whole miserable store.

  Kid : All right.

  [taking out a cheap-looking pistol] 

  Kid : Five bucks.

  John Herod : Sold.

  [the Kid starts to load ammo into the chambers] 

  John Herod : What are you doing there? No. The preacher here's got the Lord on his side. He only needs one bullet. Just one. Otherwise, he might be tempted to shoot his way out of town.

  Kid : That gun shoots straight. I wouldn't sell it if it didn't.

  Cort : It's okay, Kid. I won't draw.

  John Herod : Sure you will. I know you, Cort. When it comes down to it, you'll pull the trigger.

• Kid : You're not quitting, are you? I know this is probably the wrong time, but, um, I like you, and I want you to stay.

  Ellen : How can you live like this?

  Kid : Live like what? Aren't you even gonna stay for Cort's fight?

  Ellen : No, I'm not.

  Kid : Wait. It's starting any minute now...

  Ellen : I don't care about him. I don't care about you or anybody else in this town. I'm through.

  Kid : [watching her ride off]  I don't think you heard me right. I said I liked you!
