- Widow Briggs: Tom, that's him. Do you think he knows what he's about?
- Tom: With a gun he does. That'll be a man to cut a notch on. No need to be ashamed of that notch. Big man. It's a big target, easier to hit. That man's got to be beat. I can beat him.
- Paladin: You hired me to keep that mob from lynching Andy. Now you tell me to hand him over. Just which side of that badge are you going to stand behind, Sherrif?
- Widow Briggs: I got more say than any Sherrif. Jim Briggs was my son.
- Paladin: Well, I'm sorry, Mrs Briggs.
- Widow Briggs: Not Mrs Briggs. Widow Briggs. No husband. No son. Just Widow Briggs.
