[Grimes has just delivered an ultimatum to Mendez and the others]
John Russell : Hey. I got a question. How are you planning to get back down that hill?
Grimes : Now you wait a minute! I'm getting back down the same way I came up! (Begins running back down the hill. Russell shoots him as he is running)
Jessie : [as Grimes crawls away after being shot] Cicero Grimes, meet John Russell.

Jessie : That soldier would have helped you and you know it.
John Russell : I didn't ask for any.
Jessie : He didn't even have a gun.
John Russell : That's his business he don't wanna carry one.
Jessie : It takes a lot to light a fire under you, doesn't it.
John Russell : If it's alright with you, lady, I just didn't feel like bleeding for him. And even if it isn't alright with you.
-
John Russell : The dead are dead. You ought to bury them.
Jessie : I'm sure that's good advice. Trouble is, Mr. Russell, I think you feel the same way about the living.
-
Jessie : And we got him a marble headstone. It had his name on it, and underneath, we had them put, "In the Fullness of His Years." Is that all right with you?
John Russell : I'd settle for that on my own slide.
Jessie : Well, what do you figure yours is going to read?
John Russell : Shot Dead, probably.
Jessie : Don't people take to you, Mr. Russell?
John Russell : It only takes one who doesn't.

Braden : Hey, what's going on?
Jessie : I'm moving you out. I want you to take your socks, your cigar stubs, your long johns, and your nickel-plated sheriff's badge, and amble back down the hall to your own room.
Braden : I like it here.
Jessie : Can't quite remember how you got squatter's rights in here, anyhow. Seems to me you came by one night to ask for an extra blanket and stayed a year.
-
John Russell : Glad to buy you dinner.
Jessie : There's a lot of men who'll do that, Mr. Russell.
John Russell : Well, I'd just as soon make it breakfast.
-
Jessie : Can you tell me why we keep trotting after you?
John Russell : Because I can cut it lady.

Mrs. Delgado : I don't think this meat is fresh.
Jessie : Well, don't think about it. Just cook it.
Mrs. Delgado : But it smells funny. You think it'll be all right?
Jessie : Yeah, if you put a lot of chili peppers into it. I wouldn't eat it myself on a bet.
-
Jessie : I don't turn your pants pockets inside out. I don't say no in the middle of the night. When you got the stomach ache, I'm ready with the bicarbonate of soda. When you get a cold, I'm the one who brings up the croup kettle. I know I'm not twenty anymore, but that's not too bad either, because over the years I have learned how to control my temper.

Jessie : What did you get married for? So you got the right to sleep in the same bed?
Billy Lee : I guess.
Jessie : Well, that part of it isn't going to last, believe it or not. She'll get fat and you'll get old. Then what?
Billy Lee : I'm not worried about then. I'm worried about now. You try living with the 24-hour bellyaching and see how you like it.
Jessie : That's the price you pay if you want it where you can nudge it in the night.
