Quotes 

• Flagg : You gave me your word not to try anything, and the minute I turned my back you almost took my head off.

  McKay : I didn't give you my word - I gave you my promise.

  Flagg : It's the same thing!

  McKay : No it ain't - one's my promise, and the other's my word!

• McKay : You got a privy out back?

  Flagg : What do you mean "out back"? The name of this town is Progress - we got one right here in the house.

  McKay : In the house?

  Flagg : Yeah, it's right there under the staircase.

  McKay : [McKay jiggles the handcuffs; Flagg unlocks them and follows as McKay walks to the staircase]  You gonna hold my hand?

  McKay : [McKay walks into the bathroom and looks around. He pulls the chain on the toilet, which flushes]  Well, I'll be damned.

• McKay : Waco!

  [holds his right hand over his gun, challenging Waco] 

  Waco : You got style, McKay; I'll give you that much.

  McKay : [Waco shoots first and wounds McKay. McKay pivots, fires, and kills Waco]  I thought I could beat 'im.

  Flagg : You beat him.

• Flagg : Nippy, huh?

  Grundy : Nippy, hell!

• Flagg : Gonna need about 20 men. Volunteers for a posse.

  Boyle : Posse?

  Mayor Wilker : Did you say posse, Jim Boy?

• Mayor Wilker : Listen, Jim Boy, could you stop at the Emporium and...

  Flagg : You buy your own damn perfume!

• Flagg : You can keep the badge, Howard. I'm a re-tired man.

  Boyle : Yeah, but the town needs you.

  Flagg : Not anymore. No, you'll do just fine, Howard. Just one thing.

  Boyle : What's that?

  Flagg : You have to learn to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

• Mayor Wilker : [talking about the plan to stop the train]  Why don't you take McKay here with you?

  Flagg : He's one of 'em!

  Mary : No he isn't... not any more... are you, Mr. McKay?

  McKay : No, ma'am... not after they shot Grundy...

• Flagg : Billy, someday you'll learn that people don't always agree on what's good and what's bad. Now, about those ladies, they were just practicing the oldest profession on earth.

• Flagg : Are you telling this straight? A real fire and brimstone Quaker?

• McKay : You know something? I do believe one day that man

  [Mayor Wilker] 

  McKay : could be president.

  Flagg : Yeah, he's amazing. There's no getting around it. That's the real twentieth-century man.
