Quotes
-
Ryan : If you're going to follow somebody, youngster, do a better job of it. This world is full of nervous characters. They'd shoot you in the back first, and then introduce themselves.
-
Ryan : My gun.
[Warden retrieves Ryan's gun]
Ryan : Thank you... Now, the bullets.
Prison Warden : The bullets?
Ryan : Twenty seven. Fifteen years ago, you put 'em in one of those bottom drawers there.
Prison Warden : Twenty seven. You have a good memory.
Ryan : Well, sometimes its not difficult. I still had six in my gun and 21 in my belt. If they hadn't double- crossed me, the count had been a little bit different.
-
Ryan : Two lessons, my son. First, watch behind you. Second, count your shots - four bullets for one man, that's a waste.
-
Ryan : We both got an old account to settle with the same people. Only I want to take first crack at 'em.
Bill : We could go on together.
Ryan : No, son, you got too much hate in you. Sooner or later, that's gonna get you in trouble.
Bill : Hate is hate. There's no two ways...
Ryan : Somebody once wrote that revenge is a dish that has to be eaten cold. As hot as you are, you're liable to end with indigestion. No, I'm going on alone.
