Jake : All I did was kiss a girl!
Emmett : They got you in jail for that?
Jake : Yeah, I kissed a girl, and this other fella didn't like it, so we had some words, and so I decided to get out of there. So I did, I got out of there. You know me, Emmett, I don't want no trouble. So, I go outside, and this fellow tries to shoot me in the back.
Emmett : You had to kill him?
Jake : No, no, I winged him. And he dropped his gun.
Emmett : They got you in jail for winging a guy?
Jake : Well... no, not exactly. Because, see, then his friend opened up on me.
Emmett : What friend is that?
Jake : The one with the shotgun.
Sheriff Langston : The DEAD one.

Emmett : You're Dawson, ain't ya? Tex Larue. I used to ride with Rye Marsh, you know him. Well, Andy Simms told me there's a hideout near here, so I headed for it. I hope you don't mind.
Dawson : Mind? You brought a posse to my best hideout and you ask me if I mind? Mister, I don't know any of those names. You're about to die.

Sheriff Langston : [Sits at Emmett's and Paden's table] Now, let's talk about you chaps.
Paden : We'd rather stay.
Sheriff Langston : Well, we'll see about that. I'm Sheriff John Langston. As you may have guessed, I am not from these parts.
Paden : You're kidding.
Sheriff Langston : But the good citizens of Turley have taken me in their embrace and for one simple reason: I maintain the peace. So, when strangers come to town, I always ask them their business. Have you come for the hanging?
Emmett : [Shakes his head] I'm just meeting a guy here and moving on. So far I ain't been able to find him.
Sheriff Langston : Well, in my town, if you're looking for someone, you ask me.
Emmett : All right. He's a young guy, full of juice, about my size, wears a fancy two-gun rig.
Sheriff Langston : [Scratches his head for a moment] I know where that gentleman is.
[Scene shifts to the local jail]

Emmett : Lyin' Pete always said you'd hang. I guess tomorrow at dawn he'll be proved right.
Sheriff Langston : Ten A.M.
Emmett : Oh, right, I always thought they did it at dawn.

Paden : Me, I'm riding along, minding my own business. Four cowboys come by and we decide to ride together for a while, friendly as can be. I always figure you might as well approach life like everybody's your friend or nobody is; don't make much difference. We get out in the middle of that frying pan and suddenly everybody's pointing their gun but me. I guess they admired my horse.
Emmett : [looking at Paden in his long underwear and socks] Looks like that's not all they admired.
Paden : Yup. The whole rig. I don't care much about the rest, but I surely will miss that bay. Least they didn't kill me. That was right considerate, I thought. They were laughing when they left me. Thought it was real funny. I walked for a little while but there was no use, so I gave it up. Figured it was just bad luck.

Emmett : [after watching Cobb kill Kelly, Emmett looks over at Paden] You used to ride with that guy?
-
Emmett : Augie, where's Jake?
Augie Hollis : He's dead.
Emmett : [shocked] What?
Augie Hollis : He was trying to get away. He fell off his horse... off a cliff.
Emmett : [incredulously] Jake... FELL off his horse?
[Augie nods, then bursts into tears. Emmett consoles Augie with a hug, while suppressing a grin]

Sheriff Langston : What's all this then?
Carter : This nigger's breakin' up my place, Sheriff Langston.
Sheriff Langston : I don't like that word much, Carter.
Carter : We don't serve him here and you know it. I asked him to leave and he went crazy! Now he owes me money!
Sheriff Langston : Is that a fact?
Emmett : Afraid not, Sheriff.
[Points at the other two men lying on the floor]
Emmett : These other two fellows started the ruckus.
Sheriff Langston : [Points at Emmett and Paden] Are these your friends?
[Mal shakes his head]
Mal : I wanted a drink and a bed. I guess I came to the wrong place.
Sheriff Langston : Came to the wrong town. I don't tolerate this sort of thing. It's hard on the peace, and it's hard on the furniture. Now, knowing a bit about Carter here, I'm going to let you go without paying for the damages, but go you will, and I mean now.
Mal : Is there a place in town that takes "my kind?"
Sheriff Langston : You misunderstand. I want you out of town. In fact, I want you all the way out of my jurisdiction.
Mal : That ain't right.
Sheriff Langston : I decide what's right in this jurisdiction. Now, move.
[Mal prepares to leave but turns around as he is about to pass Sheriff Langston, heads back to the bar, finishes the drink the female bartender poured for him, and then leaves]
Carter : Hey, who's gonna pay for all this, Sheriff?
Sheriff Langston : Don't press your luck, Carter.

Hobart : Baxter! Hawley! Where the hell've you been? You're late and I tell you, I don't like it. It's a bad start, boys. I got my people down there throwin' snowballs and rarin' to go.
Emmett : I'm afraid it is a bad start, friend, 'cause my name ain't Baxter, he ain't Hawley.
Hobart : You're not Baxter?
Emmett : Name's Emmett.
Hobart : You're not Baxter either?
Paden : No, I'm not Hawley.
Hobart : Goddammit. Goddammit, they ain't Baxter and Hawley! Where in the hell are Baxter and Hawley?
Baxter : [Baxter and Hawley ride up on their horses] Quit your yellin', you old coot. We're right here.

Emmett : [Emmett, Paden, Jake, and Mal are about to ride into town to face McKendrick, Sheriff Cobb and his deputies. Emmett turns to the others] I'll see you 'round.
Paden : Last one at the Midnight Star buys.
Jake : You're on. Let's get 'em!
Mal : [Emmett and Jake ride down the hill into town. Before following, Mal turns to Paden] Hey, Paden. Good luck.
