Ben Wade : You ever read the bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mama said "we're going back East to start over". So she gave me a bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back.

Dan Evans : I ain't stubborn.
Ben Wade : Excuse me?
Dan Evans : You said I was stubborn, for keeping my family on a dying ranch. It's my son, Mark. The young one. He got tuberculosis when he was two. Doctor said he would die if he didn't have a dry climate, so...
Ben Wade : [interrupting] Why are you tellin' me this?
Dan Evans : I don't know. I guess I just... wanted you to know that I ain't stubborn, is all.
[both start laughing]

Dan Evans : What did Doc Potter give his life for, William? McElroy...
Ben Wade : Little red ants on a hill.
Butterfield : I'll pay you the 200, Dan. Right now. And you can walk away.
Dan Evans : You know, this whole ride... it's been egging on me. That's what the government gave me for my leg - 198 dollars 36 cents and the funny thing is that... when you think about it, which I have been lately, is they weren't paying me to walk away, they were paying me so they could walk away.
Ben Wade : Don't muddy the past in the present, Dan.
Dan Evans : No... Wade, I'm seeing the world the way it is.
-
Ben Wade : So, boys - where we headed?
Byron McElroy : Taking you to the 3:10 to Yuma day after tomorrow.
Tucker : Shouldn't have told him that.
Ben Wade : Relax, friend. Now if we get separated, I'll know where to meet up.

Ben Wade : You know, squeezin' that watch won't stop time.

Ben Wade : They're gonna kill you and your father, William. They're gonna laugh while they do it. I think you know that.
William Evans : Call 'em off.
Ben Wade : Why should I?
William Evans : Because you're not all bad.
Ben Wade : Yes, I am.
William Evans : You saved us from those Indians.
Ben Wade : I saved myself.
William Evans : You got us through the tunnels. You helped us get away.
Ben Wade : If I had a gun in them tunnels, I would have used it on you.
William Evans : I don't believe you.
Ben Wade : Kid, I wouldn't last five minutes leading an outfit like that if I wasn't as rotten as hell.
-
Ben Wade : I've always liked you Byron, but you never know when to shut up. Even bad men love their mommas.
[Throws him off the edge of the cliff]

Charlie Prince : [giving a toast] Here's to the four we lost in battle. And here's to the boss, who had to say goodbye to Tommy Darden today. And that's too bad.
Ben Wade : Proverbs 13:3. "He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life. He that opens his lips too wide shall bring on his own destruction".
Charlie Prince : Amen.
Ben Wade : Tommy was weak. Tommy was stupid. Tommy is dead.
Charlie Prince : I'd drink to that.
-
Ben Wade : Now, you see Dan, generally pretty much everyone wants to live. That means Butterfield, too. He's gonna walk out on you. He's gonna come back up here, and he's gonna walk out on you. Now, what you gotta figure is why you and your boy are gonna die. Because Butterfield's railroad lost some money?

Ben Wade : [Talking to William about Dodge City] Woman'll do things to ya, you'll never forget.
Doc Potter : They give you disease you'll never forget.

Doc Potter : Is it true that you dynamited a wagon full of prospectors in the western territories last spring?
Ben Wade : No, that's a lie... It was a train full.
-
Ben Wade : You ever been to San Francisco?
Alice Evans : If it's all right by you Mr Wade, I'd rather we not talk
Ben Wade : So you never been to San Francisco?
Alice Evans : No
Ben Wade : I knew a girl there. She was the daughter of a Sea-Captain. She had the most beautiful green eyes. About the greenest eyes I ever saw. Like yours. And I'd stare deep into them and they'd just change color infront of me. All the colors of the sea. What'd you say your name was again?
Dan Evans : Alice?
-
Butterfield : Twenty-two robberies. Over four hundred thousand dollars in losses. More in delays. The Southern Pacific will have Ben Wade convicted in a federal court. Hanged in public. An example made. And we will pay to make it happen.
Ben Wade : Y'all notice he didn't mention any of the lives I've taken.

Ben Wade : [while lying down in a hotel room bed] So this is the bridal suite? Now, I wonder how many brides have taken in this view?

Ben Wade : Remind me never to play poker in this town.

Ben Wade : I'd be disappointed if you didn't.
-
Ben Wade : Well, you did it, Dan.

Dan Evans : What time is it?
Ticket Clerk : About ten past three.
Dan Evans : Where's the 3:10 to Yuma?

Ben Wade : Goddamn trains. Never can rely on 'em, huh?
-
Ben Wade : [Surveying the wreckage of the war wagon] Well, would you look at all this? You all spared no expense this time, Byron. I gotta say, though, it's probably cheaper just to let me rob the damn thing.
-
Ben Wade : Byron, what an unpleasant surprise.
-
Ben Wade : Have you ever read a book in your life, Byron, except the bible?
Byron McElroy : No need.
-
Ben Wade : Just you left, Dan. Just you and your boy.
-
Ben Wade : They're going to kill me in the morning... I'll never see the sun.

[after shooting Tommy Darden]
Ben Wade : Well, Tommy, it seems that there was a Pinkerton inside that coach that wasn't quite dead yet. Now, I know Charlie told you, because we done got but a few rules in this outfit. And this is what happens when you put us all at risk.

Ben Wade : You ever worked for a one-eyed Irishman in Leadville?
