- Bart Jason: [Thornton is trying to distract McLeod outside of Jason's saloon] Didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Thornton.
- Cole: Hello, McLeod.
- Bart Jason: I said...
- Nelse McLeod: My show, Jason. Hi, Thornton.
- Cole: There's a little question... unanswered between us.
- Nelse McLeod: Which one of us is best?
- Cole: That's right.
- Nelse McLeod: I don't think we're gonna find out the answer to that question.
- Cole: No?
- Nelse McLeod: No. Your gun hand's no good.
- Cole: You just give me time to get down off of this wagon and we'll find out.
- Nelse McLeod: Why should I give you any time?
- Cole: Call it professional courtesy.
- Bart Jason: Don't listen to him. Why should you give him time?
- Nelse McLeod: Curiosity, Jason.
- Cole: [Bull blows his bugle, and when McLeod turns around, Thornton dives off the wagon and mortally wounds McLeod with a hidden gun] McLeod?
- Nelse McLeod: You didn't give me any chance at all, did you?
- Cole: No, I didn't. You're too good to give a chance to.
- Nelse McLeod: Yeah. I let a one-armed man take me.

- Cole: I'm paid to risk my neck. I'll decide where and when I'll do it. This isn't it.

- Cole: You know, you're just about right?
- Bart Jason: You think he's that good?
- Cole: I tell ya he's that good.
- Bart Jason: You just going to sit there, Mcleod?
- Nelse McLeod: [Facing down Mississippi's sawed-off shotgun] ... Well there really isn't very much I can do right now, is there, Jason?
