  [rather than face the Cades alone, Kerrigan enlists with a U.S. Cavalry unit] 

  Sam Kerrigan : Sorry, Marshal, that makes me government property.

  Sergeant : Anyone else? Your chance to go down in history, boys.

  Bill Longley : Do you mind sayin' where your bound for, Sergeant?

  Sergeant : Orders say to join General Custer on the Little Big Horn. All right, lets go.

  Sam Kerrigan : Oh, Longley... there goes your turkey shoot.

• Sam Kerrigan : There's something about a necktie party that plain discomforts me.

  Bill Longley : Yeah, same here, especially when I'm the guest of honor.

• Sam Kerrigan : You can't hardly throw a stone around here without hitting a Cade of some kind. They're a big family and thick as snakes in a nest.

  Bill Longley : Think I might get snakebit?

• Sam Kerrigan : I hope what I said didn't influence you any.

  Bill Longley : No, just starting thinking.

  Sam Kerrigan : What?

  Bill Longley : A couple of answers, maybe.

• [after Longley wounds Lew Cade, Kerrigan shoots Cade in the back, killing him]

• [Bill slaps Kerrigan with a sack holding a dead rattlesnake] 

  Sam Kerrigan : It'll wash off.

  Bill Longley : No it won't.

  Sam Kerrigan : Two thousand dollars buys a lot of soap.

• [ten members of the Cade family wait outside the saloon for Kerrigan to leave] 

  Bill Longley : Look, Bill, together we got a real good chance. Now two thousand dollars is a lot of money - half of it is yours.

  Sam Kerrigan : You can't have a turkey shoot without a turkey.

• Sheriff Tip Latta : You'll never see that two thousand.

  Sam Kerrigan : What makes you think I won't?

  Sheriff Tip Latta : Look around. There were 10 Cades in here a minute ago. Now there isn't one... they're out there Kerrigan.
