Richard Boone: Paladin

Quotes 

• Jared Martin : I forgot this is just a business transaction to you. Name your price.

  Paladin : I can't do that until I'm sure how the rifles will be used.

  Jared Martin : As a matter of fact, they won't be used at all. My men have plenty of rifles.

  Paladin : What do you want with mine?

  Jared Martin : I don't. I just want to make sure Valdez doesn't get them.

• Paladin : Well, a man can have morals even in business.

• Paladin : Mr Bernard, that does look like a small straight, doesn't it?

• Paladin : Has Martin been approached on that basis?

  Arnold Haskins : He was. That's how Carlos Valdez got his broken arm.

• Pedro Valdez : Why do we have to wait?

  Paladin : Only to prevent an accident. These are extremely dangerous weapons.

• Pedro Valdez : What do you ask for the rifles?

  Paladin : You tell me after you've used them.

  Pedro Valdez : You're not afraid I will cheat you?

  Paladin : If that were my greatest fear, I would indeed be fearless.

• Paladin : A show of force can win a battle before it begins.

• Paladin : What's the job?

  Passerby : Easy. Scare a few Mexicans out of Martin's cattle pass so he can take his herd through.

  Paladin : You sure about this?

  Passerby : Andy rode through town about an hour ago. Thirty men that wanna make an easy five oughta be out there tonight.

• Paladin : I'm sorry.

  Passerby : Watch where you're going. You clumsy ox.

  Paladin : Well, maybe I didn't hear you right?

  Passerby : You heard me. YOU'RE A CLUMSY OX. NOW-

  [Paladin draws on him] 

  Passerby : Sorry, I guess you didn't hear me right.
