Quotes 

• Arkady Duvall : You cannot defeat me. I am a Heidelberg fencing champion.

  Jonah Hex : My heart's all a-flutter.

• Sheriff : Well, well. Jonah Hex, his own bad self. Been here five minutes and you ain't killed nobody nor set nothing on fire. Slipping, ain't you?

  Jonah Hex : I'm still a little bushed.

  Sheriff : Fact is, you look a little past it, Hex. Not tied, just all used up.

  Jonah Hex : Well, when I get pushed, I can still shoot a fly out from between its wings. Provided the light's right, of course, and it's a big plump fly.

• Barmaid : Good luck, Jonah Hex.

  Jonah Hex : Right nice sentiment, Ma'am. But I never cotton much to luck. I like to make my own.

• Arkady Duvall : You're either a liar or a fool.

  Jonah Hex : I've been known to be foolish, but ain't nobody calls me a liar and goes to bed happy.

• Arkady Duvall : You! I don't believe it!

  Jonah Hex : Guess I'm just a bad penny.

  Arkady Duvall : Why are you doing this?

  Jonah Hex : Because I don't like you.

• Jonah Hex : I'm gettin' too old for this.

• Arkady Duvall : Let me live, please!

  Jonah Hex : I will. Only because it's too much trouble to hull your stinkin' carcass back east.

• Arcady Duvall : 5,000 in gold. Take it. Leave me be.

  Jonah Hex : It ain't about money, boy. It's about justice. And I aim to serve you some.

• Arcady Duvall : It would appear we have ourselves a government spy. A rather disreputable-looking one, at that. Well, Mr. Spy... I'd say your plan has failed, and the railroad is doomed.

  Jonah Hex : I ain't no spy. I'm Jonah Hex. And I don't give a tinker's cuss about no railroad. I've come to get you, Arcady Duvall, on account of what you done to that girl back east.

  Arcady Duvall : You mean to say you've tracked me across twelve states because of that?

  Jonah Hex : Well, there's also the matter of a $200 reward.

• Sheriff : I ain't got nothing on you, Hex. Yet. Just remember them wanted posters say "dead or alive." You might try alive this time.

  Jonah Hex : First time for everything.

• Jonah Hex : You, by any chance, seen this feller?

  Barmaid : You a bounty hunter?

  Jonah Hex : Just to pay for my piano lessons.

  Barmaid : I know that two-bit skunk. He hurt one of my girls real bad.

  Jonah Hex : [tossing some coins on the table]  If you could point me in his general direction, I'd appreciate it.

  Barmaid : That I can and will.

  [sliding them back] 

  Barmaid : And this one's on the house.

• Arcady Duvall : I'll chop you to pieces.

  Jonah Hex : Talk, talk, talk.

• Barmaid : Duvall comes into town now and then. Starts fights, bothers my girls, challenges men to duels.

  Jonah Hex : I'm aware of his habits, missy. What I ain't aware of is where he's holed up.

  Barmaid : Strange thing, that. He ain't staying at the hotel, and the next town's 50 miles away.

  Jonah Hex : Sounds like he likes to sleep on the ground with the rest of the snakes.

  Barmaid : He ain't the type. More the clean sheets sort. And he first showed up in town 'bout the time folks started seeing the sky monster.

  Jonah Hex : The what?

  Barmaid : No one knows what it is. And the sheriff's too yellow to investigate. It only comes out at night. Like a big bolt or a log in the sky. 'Bout the same time it showed, folks started seeing lights in the...

  [lights flicker in a nearby cave] 

  Barmaid : Get down! The way I figure, that glow might some way tie in with the sky monster. And Duvall.

  Jonah Hex : Reckon so. I think you'd better start back now, missy. Got a feeling things might get loud and busy soon.
