• [holding a replica of the "Venus di Milo" statue] 

  Hoag : Hey, girls, she's here - the Venus!

  First Saloon Girl : Venus who?

  Mary Hoag : Di Milo

  Second Saloon Girl : Did she ever play Mahogany Hall in New Orleans?

  Hoag : Nah, she's imported from Europe - the most beautiful woman who ever lived.

  Tom Sabin : Sure covers a lot of women.

• Tom Sabin : I'm no angel.

  Mary Hoag : That's lucky. Angels get the wings singed in Purgatory.

• Mary Hoag : You're certainly fixing things up around here, Mr. Sabin.

  Tom Sabin : Well, uh-uh, Dipper wanted to build a new gunrack and a few odds and ends. He's goin' to put some shelves over here and, yeah, we've got a new chandelier - imported all the way from Perkins' General Store. Now you might tell your husband. He likes to import things.

• Mary Hoag : You stood up to Quijano. Maybe you can face the others who will come to kill you, but you'll be destroyed by a man who's without a gun - a man you can't shoot because he can't stand up to you in the only kind of fight you understand... a gunfight. When he broke his back, he beat every fast gun in this country. He's a cripple, Sabin, and such a man can hold a pass against you.

• Mary Hoag : I'll tell you something about a man who lives by the gun - he'll never have a happy woman.

• Tom Sabin : You don't sound a woman pleading for her man.

  Mary Hoag : I'm not!

  Tom Sabin : I have no woman to plead for me.

  Mary Hoag : Then you're going through with it?

  Tom Sabin : Till death us do part.

• Tom Sabin : How did you get started in this business of yours?

  Mary Hoag : With a marriage certificate.

  Tom Sabin : Sorry.

  Mary Hoag : How did you get started in your present business?

  Tom Sabin : With a gun.

  Mary Hoag : Sorry.

• Mary Hoag : Did you hear something?

  Tom Sabin : Ahh, I'm not sure.

  Mary Hoag : Why did you come for a walk with me if you were so suspicious?

  Tom Sabin : Did you ever hear of a lady named Salome?

  Mary Hoag : The girl who wanted John the Baptist?

  Tom Sabin : The same. When she couldn't have him, she demanded his head on a silver platter.

  Mary Hoag : Did she get it? Well, did she?

  Tom Sabin : ...Mm-hmm.

  Mary Hoag : You're damned right she did!

• Mary Hoag : Tom... Tom, I love you, but I'll stand by Hoag like I always have. I'm his wife.

  Tom Sabin : If you say you're his wife and you're true to him, then you're his wife.

  Mary Hoag : And if you keep things right, then you're the marshal.

  Tom Sabin : I'm no marshal.

  Mary Hoag : I'm no wife.

• Mary Hoag : Won't it ever stop? Must it be your own brother now?

  Johnny Naco : Once I stop I'm dead. Can you stop?

  Tom Sabin : I thought I could, but when it came right down to it, I really couldn't. I guess it runs in the family.

  Johnny Naco : Well, so long, Tom.

  Tom Sabin : You can mean that two ways, Johnny boy.
