Quotes10

  • Jug: You hit that fellow from behind?
  • Latigo: Just as hard as I could!
  • Jug: You know, I may not have too much of a chance with Swifty Morgan. But suppose I down him?
  • Latigo: Well, suppose you don't? And the odds are a thousand to one you won't. Well, you'll just end up an unknown character under a wooden cross on Boot Hill.
  • Jug: Well, everybody winds up dead sooner or later.
  • Latigo: Well, the smart ones try to postpone it as long as possible.
  • Jug: He called me "Swifty."
  • Latigo: Yeah, that's short and friendly for Swifty Morgan. That's who they think you are. And they're willin' to PAY to back up that mistaken idea.
  • Jug: [Shocked] I'm supposed to pretend I'm Swifty Morgan?... Good Bye!
  • Latigo: They're willin' to pay!
  • Jug: How much?
  • Latigo: Thousand dollars. We'll split it fifty-fifty. That means FOUR HUNDRED for you.
  • Jug: [Ponders for a second] Seems fair. But I think that...
  • Latigo: No, no you don't. That's part of the deal. I do the thinkin'. You stand around and look tough.
  • Jug: [Last lines] Now, the way this story ends: those two go to Denver to get married. Patience - she never does get to go to Miss Hunter's college on the Hudson River, New York, but seven of her daughters do. Taylor Barton - he gets his flat fixed and marries Miss Abigail. The Colonel goes broke. Swifty Morgan's still trying to get his boots off. And me, I go on to become a big star in Italian westerns.
  • Latigo: [Annoyed that Jug has just used up the 100 dollars he had given him earlier, including giving much of it to some woman] You gave her the money?
  • Jug: Seemed like the thing to do...
  • Latigo: But, you idiot! Don't you know that's the surest way to make an enemy out of a woman, givin' her money?
  • Jug: [Confused] It is?
  • Latigo: Oh, I learned that a long time ago.
  • Taylor Barton: [Upon seeing Lat Smith and Jug] Young man, about that job I want you to do...
  • Latigo: [Annoyed] I told you not to bother me, mister.
  • Jug: [Eagerly] The man said something about a job!
  • Latigo: I don't like work. It tires me out.
  • Latigo: Like I said: a man should spread happiness as he walks through life.
  • Jug: I think we've been spreadin' it a little thick.
  • Jug: I may not have much of a chance with Swifty Morgan, but suppose I down him?
  • Latigo: Well, supposing you don't? And the odds are 1,000 to 1 that you won't. You'll just end up an unknown character under a wooden cross on Boot Hill.
  • Jug: Everybody winds up dead sooner or later.
  • Latigo: Well, us smart ones try to postpone it as long as possible!
  • Jug: My horse went first, then my saddle. But I'm sober now, and what I got left is these here spurs.
  • Latigo: I just don't like horses.
  • Jug: Well, that's close to treason in these parts.
