- Paladin: The lady wants me to let you go, Jeff. You'd better take advantage of it and leave before someone comes up with a better idea.
- Maria de Castro: Strange things grow in strange places, don't they, Chris?
- Chris Sorenson: Yeah, that's right. Orchids grow in swampy jungles.
- Paladin: How clever of you, Mr Sorenson. I never thought of orchids that way.
- Bud Sorenson: Maybe if you talked to that girl for Chris?
- Paladin: No, no. I tried that once in Dodge City and I almost had to marry the girl myself.
- Paladin: Talk about your guns, about how you shot all those trophies.
- Chris Sorenson: Why couldn't I think of that?
- Paladin: Ever since I first saw you, I've been longing to say something to you.
- Aunt Anna: Mr Paladin!
- Paladin: Maria! since I first set eyes on you, I've wanted to tell you, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I long to hold you in my arms, and say the gentle, tender things that a man should say to a woman.
- Chris Sorenson: Maria's not the kind of a, a. Well, do you intend to marry her?
- Paladin: MARRY? She's a very pretty girl. Bah, hah!
- [And he laughs boisterously as he leaves to go on a date with another very pretty girl]
