Quotes 

• Paladin : With this gun, I could have stopped murder tonight. But I've taken it off. That's my present to you. In all my life I've only seen a dozen real killers, but I've seen ten thousand people that would stand by and let it happen. Which is the greater evil?

• Paladin : Well, this is the night when some people pretend there is no evil in the world.

• Paladin : You're a curious mixture, Beecher. Tears in your eyes, bruises on your knuckles, a rope for Indians, misery for your employees, and a full heart for a boy. Who, which one is really Nathaniel Beecher?

  Nathaniel Beecher : The one that's paying you to talk Pawnee.

• Paladin : All my life, I've only seen a dozen real killers, but I've seen ten thousand people who would stand by and let it happen. Which is the greater offence?

• Cah-la-te : Cah-la-te forget how to kill but know how to die.

  Paladin : What good does that do to the boy?

• Paladin : I've come eleven hundred miles. Our agreement included travel expenses and common courtesy would include a tub of water and a bed.

  Nathaniel Beecher : This isn't a trail station.

  Paladin : One hundred dollars will cover the expenses.

  Nathaniel Beecher : Put him off the ranch. PUT HIM OFF THE RANCH!

  Paladin : I'll cut out three head from your range herd. I think you'll find that approximates what you owe me.

  Nathaniel Beecher : Touch a head of my stock, I'll hang you.

  Tater : Nathaniel, ain't that the fellow that talks Indian? Like his telegramme said? You've been wanting to talk to the boy.

  Nathaniel Beecher : You talk Pawnee?

  Paladin : I do. Ordinarily I'd interpret for nothing. For you, the fee is one hundred dollars a day.
