Quotes 

• Enoch Carteret : Mr. Maverick has a plan.

  Bret Maverick : That's right. As my old Pappy used to say, "If all the men who live by the gun were laid end-to-end, I wouldn't be surprised."

• Ty Carteret : All right, Mister, who are you?

  Bret Maverick : Bret Maverick.

  Ty Carteret : You sure you ain't a Montgomery?

  Bret Maverick : Not unless my pappy lied to me.

• Bret Maverick : Now this is ridiculous! Someone could get killed!

  Enoch Carteret : Often do.

  Bret Maverick : Well, that someone could be me.

• [last lines] 

  Bret Maverick : I just can't get over the way you came storming to the rescue. Imagine you showing such brotherly concern.

  Bart Maverick : Me? That was you started double-dealing way back at that poker table. I always thought three queens beat two pair. I wonder what old Pappy's going to say when he finds out you deliberately dumped that game to save my life. Disown you, most likely.

  Bret Maverick : I imagine I can explain it to his satisfaction. After all, Brother Bart, you had to win. You were the one who was being paid.

  Bart Maverick : True. You got a point there.

  Bret Maverick : That, Pappy would be the first to appreciate. Especially, when I point it out that I had every intention of insisting on collecting my share for saving your hide.

  Bart Maverick : Well, that's fair enough, under the circumstances, I guess you have half coming to you.

  Bret Maverick : What do you mean, half? I won, didn't I?

• Bret Maverick : Nothing beats a man like overconfidence.

• Enoch Carteret : Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

  Bret Maverick : What happens when you run out of teeth?
