Elsa Knudsen : My father says there's only right and wrong - good and evil. Nothing in between. It isn't that simple, is it?

Gil Westrum : [with sarcasm] Dandy pair of boots you got there.
Steve Judd : Juan Fernandez made those boots for me in San Antone - special order. I had a hell of a time getting him to put that hole in there. Fine craftsman, Juan, but he never did understand the principle of ventilation.
Gil Westrum : I remember Juan - always felt the boot should cover the foot.
-
Elsa Knudsen : What's gonna happen to him?
Steve Judd : The boy? I'll testify for him. They shouldn't be too hard.

Steve Judd : No, I wont.
Elsa Knudsen : Why?
Steve Judd : Because he was my friend.
-
Steve Judd : [after knocking out Heck with one punch] When I questioned you about that boy, I should've gone a bit deeper into the subject of character. I hope that's a mistake I won't live to regret.
Steve Judd : [wryly] Good fight! I enjoyed it!

Steve Judd : [Quoting from the Bible] "The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit. Him that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein."

Steve Judd : [Meeting Joshua Knudsen when they arrive at his farmstead] We're on our way to Coarse Gold. Wondered if you could furnish accommodations for the night?
Joshua Knudsen : Well, I've got no room in the house. But I've no objection if you want to spend the night in the barn.
Steve Judd : Thank you, sir. If you could spare us a few eggs, we'd be glad to pay for them.
Joshua Knudsen : Well, you can have one, because the Lord's bounty is not for sale... The rest are a dollar each.
Heck Longtree : [Outraged at the price] A dollar each! Now how in the world do those short-legged chickens lay eggs so high?
Joshua Knudsen : [Dourly] Levity in the young is likened to a dry gourd, with the seeds rattling around.
-
Steve Judd : That boy you trained personally shows a substantial lack of judgment.
Gil Westrum : Kinda' showin' *your* age, aren't ya? Interfering with a young man's love life...
Steve Judd : Well, I'm not payin' him ten dollars a day to go moonin' after some girl whose old man is about to hind-end him with a load of buckshot.
-
Steve Judd : I was drunk - sicker than a dog.
