Quotes 

• Paladin : I've been offered a dozen good ways to get myself killed since I came to this town. Now I'm gonna make a few offers myself.

• Paladin : Of course, I could have drawn on you while you were lighting that cigar.

  Jockey : You must be a stranger. No one around here draws on the Jockey. I could light another match if *you'd* like to try it.

• Paladin : You can have it any way you want it, gentlemen.

• Casey Bryan : Got any gold on ya?

  Paladin : Small filling in the back molar.

  Casey Bryan : Get moving.

  Paladin : That's all?

  Casey Bryan : What do you want, a bath? Get movin'.

• Jockey : This ain't no mob. They're witnesses.

  Paladin : Witnesses to what?

  Jockey : To the fact that you drew on me and I killed you in self-defense.

• Paladin : You show your innocence by even considering it.

  Angela DeMarco : I don't know what you mean.

  Paladin : Your father got the same invitation.

• Paladin : Right now, I'm looking for a match.

  [He draws two cigars from his left boot] 

  Paladin : Are you looking for a cigar?

  Jockey : Yeah, I don't mind.

  Paladin : It's a nice-looking gun you've got there.

  Jockey : Does the job.

• Paladin : Don't sell it too quickly, Miss DeMarco. Your father had faith in it.

  Angela DeMarco : So much so it killed him.

  Paladin : But if you sell it before investigating your father's death, it will have gone for nothing.

  Angela DeMarco : What is there to investigate?

• Paladin : The Grail seems to be a hard place to get a job.

  Miner : You try again tomorrow. There's gonna be a vacancy.

• Morgan - Mine Manager : Can't say I recall seeing you around here before. Where'd you work?

  Paladin : Here, there.

  Morgan - Mine Manager : I know about here. But where's there?

  Paladin : Portofino, Brighams Canyon, Big Bonanza.

  Morgan - Mine Manager : You move around.

  Paladin : I just follow the gold.

• Paladin : I came to tell this man he needs a new collector.

  Casey Bryan : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Paladin : Of course you do. You need somebody to collect the $25 a day you charge the miners for the privilege of stealing all they can.

• Paladin : What's on your mind?

  Jockey : A matter of $25.

  Paladin : What for?

  Jockey : Employment fee. $25. A day. Hand it over.

  Paladin : Well, I thought I'd pay that to Bryan myself.

  Jockey : Give it to me. I do his collecting... That's fine. Now you can die with a clean slate.
