Cantrell : Why did you call me up here?
John Herod : Well, I wanted to ask you one simple question. Who brought you here to fight me?
Cantrell : [laughing] Mr. Herod. I'm just a gentleman adventurer, moseying into town for the challenge of a gunfight.
John Herod : I thought Ace Hanlon was the hired gun. I was so sure of it. But he was just a buffoon. You're not.
Cantrell : My name's Clay Cantrell, and I'm a shootist. I've killed 17 men. Killing is purely a business proposition for me. Doesn't give me any pleasure. My employer's confidential. Now... do we have business together today?
John Herod : As soon as the rain stops, I'm gonna make an example of you.

Cort : Well, well, well. What a surprise, John. You changing the rules.
John Herod : Any problem with that?
Cantrell : Well... I was planning to kill you anyway.
