Quotes 

• Jake : All I did was kiss a girl!

  Emmett : They got you in jail for that?

  Jake : Yeah, I kissed a girl, and this other fella didn't like it, so we had some words, and so I decided to get out of there. So I did, I got out of there. You know me, Emmett, I don't want no trouble. So, I go outside, and this fellow tries to shoot me in the back.

  Emmett : You had to kill him?

  Jake : No, no, I winged him. And he dropped his gun.

  Emmett : They got you in jail for winging a guy?

  Jake : Well... no, not exactly. Because, see, then his friend opened up on me.

  Emmett : What friend is that?

  Jake : The one with the shotgun.

  Sheriff Langston : The DEAD one.

• Paden : [Paden has just been locked in a cell with Jake who is sentenced to hang]  Making a big mistake.

  Jake : That's what I told 'em!

• [Paden comes back to the fire the night after Conrad is killed] 

  Emmett : Where you been, Paden?

  Paden : Oh, I was just, uh... checking the, uh...

  [Mal laughs] 

  Jake : Geez, Paden, her old man ain't even cold yet.

• Phoebe : [Phoebe stands between Jake and an angry Tyree]  Nothing happened, Tyree. This is my job.

  Tyree : Shut up.

  Jake : I don't believe a lady has to explain anything to a man this ugly.

  [Two deputies come up behind him, but he doesn't seem to notice] 

  Paden : [Comes up behind Tyree]  What's the trouble here?

  Tyree : Stay out of this, Paden.

  Stella : He can't do that, Tyree. Cobb's hired him.

  Tyree : That's Cobb's mistake.

  Stella : Come on out of there, Phoebe, you've done enough.

  [Phoebe moves to leave, but Tyree pushes her back. Paden takes Tyree's gun and points it at him] 

  Paden : Go on home, Jake.

  Jake : All I did was kiss the girl.

  Paden : That's what you said in Turley. Remember how that ended?

  Jake : What's the matter, Paden? You afraid I couldn't get those two behind me?

  Paden : I don't want you getting anybody in my place.

  Jake : [Takes his hat, faces the deputies, and points a finger at them]  Boom.

  [He leaves] 

  Tyree : [to Paden]  I should've killed you a long time ago.

  Paden : [Offering Tyree's gun back to him]  Why not now?

  [Tyree takes the gun and holds it under Paden's chin] 

  Stella : Don't do it, Tyree. I just lost one partner. If you kill him, I'll never get anyone to work in here.

  Tyree : You better start looking.

  [He takes the gun from under Paden's chin and leaves] 

  Stella : You really are a gambler, aren't you?

  Paden : [Walks up to the bar]  Give me some of the good stuff.

• Jake : I got things to do, kid, I'm a busy man.

  Augie Hollis : I go with you.

  Jake : A grown man can't have a little boy with him everywhere he goes.

  Augie Hollis : Well, who's a grown man?

• [last lines] 

  Jake : We'll be back!

• Jake : You've been to Chicago?

  Mal : Yeah.

  Jake : Was it wonderful?

  Mal : No.

• Jake : Come on, boys! Jake's in town! Let's start the ball!

• Emmett : [Emmett, Paden, Jake, and Mal are about to ride into town to face McKendrick, Sheriff Cobb and his deputies. Emmett turns to the others]  I'll see you 'round.

  Paden : Last one at the Midnight Star buys.

  Jake : You're on. Let's get 'em!

  Mal : [Emmett and Jake ride down the hill into town. Before following, Mal turns to Paden]  Hey, Paden. Good luck.
