[Longbridge, a whiskey drummer, is sampling his wares]
Aeneas Longbridge : "Oh God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains."
Sadie Wren : You think that up all by yourself?
Aeneas Longbridge : Ha! That's from 'Hamlet: Prince of Denmark'. I'm merely trying to prove it.
Major St. Clair : You're mistaken, sir. It's from 'Othello: Soldier of Venice'.
Aeneas Longbridge : My dear Major...
Major St. Clair : Cassio's speech - Act 2, Scene 3, Line 291.
Aeneas Longbridge : [sighs] I bow, sir, to your superior memory. Already it would seem the enemy has stolen away my mind.

[the stagecoach passengers vote on whether to fight the bounty hunters or turn Manolo over to them]
Luke Perry : All right, it's up to you. Zeke?
Zeke Bonner : I do hate bounty hunters.
Luke Perry : Longbridge?
Aeneas Longbridge : A long time ago, I ran away from a place called Fredericksburg. I guess I've been running ever since. You know, Mr. Perry, there's no satisfaction in it.
Luke Perry : Sadie?
Sadie Wren : Got a coin?
Luke Perry : Mrs. St. Clair?
Lucinda St. Clair : My husband decides for both of us.
Major St. Clair : You know, we've overlooked one thing - even if we do give up Colonel Lalanda, there's no assurance these people will allow us to leave. Besides, I haven't been in a shooting fight since... Fredericksburg.
Luke Perry : Davey? You're in this, too.
Davey Kane : I better go get your coat, Mr. Lalanda. The nights get awful cold around here.
