Mr. Fenty : Horton, how did that bottle get in your pocket? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING HARD LIQUOR?
Horton : Well, since this afternoon. I know you don't approve, Pop, but believe me, until you've had a good cigar and a shot of whiskey, you're missing the second and third best things in life.
Rumson : Horton!
Pardner : Where'd you take him, Ben?
Elizabeth : Damn you, Ben Rumson. What are you going to teach this boy next? How to cheat at cards, or just physical education with one of Willie's floozies?
Horton : That's the best one, Pop!
Rumson : Horton!
Elizabeth : Is that what you did today, Ben?
Rumson : That's what *he* did today, Elizabeth! I tell you, that boy's got a talent for dissipation that is absolutely unique!

Horton : Mr. Rumson, I swore I wouldn't tell anyone. I hope that means except my father and mother.
Ben Rumson : That means especially your father and mother.
Horton : But I've never kept anything from them before.
Ben Rumson : Well, it's time you started. Because when you do, a whole new world opens up.

Mad Jack Duncan : You tell no one about what we're doing here, you get me? If you so much as breath a word about this, I'll put a stick of dynamite in your mouth, do you get me?
Horton : I swear before God...
Mad Jack Duncan : I said no one!

Ben Rumson : Now, don't tell me you've never been with a woman.
Horton : No, sir I haven't.
Ben Rumson : Well, that, that's terrible! Did you know you could go blind?
-
Ben Rumson : You mean to tell me you ain't never had a woman neither?
Horton : No, sir.
Ben Rumson : This is serious. You know you could go blind? Come here.
[to 'Rotten Luck' Willie]
Ben Rumson : Willie, if a young man was goin' trappin' for the first time and wanted a guide, somebody who would be patient with him and show him the way things are to be done; what kind of guide would you choose?
'Rotten Luck'Willie : [Thinking] Ah, that would be Gracie.
