FrankWobbles, how can you trust a man that wears both a belt and suspenders? Man can't even trust his own pants.

CheyenneBy the way, you know anything about a man going around playing the harmonica? He's somebody you'd remember. Instead of talking, he plays. And when he better play, he talks.

CheyenneYou know, Jill, you remind me of my mother. She was the biggest whore in Alameda and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was - for an hour or for a month - he must have been a happy man.

MortonNot bad. Congratulations. Tell me, was it necessary that you kill all of them? I only told you to scare them!
CheyenneListen, Harmonica, a town built around a railroad - mm mm mm mmm - you could make a fortune, huh? Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hey, more than that. Thousands of thousands.
HarmonicaAn ancient race. Other Mortons'll be along, and they'll kill it off.
FrankThe future don't matter to us. Nothing matters now - not the land, not the money, not the woman. I came here to see you, 'cause I know that now you'll tell me what you're after.
HarmonicaInside the men, there were three bullets.
CheyenneThat's a crazy story, Harmonica, for two reasons: One, nobody around these parts got the guts to wear those dusters except Cheyenne's men. Two, Cheyenne's men don't get killed. That surprise you?
HarmonicaYeah. Well, you know music, and you can count - all the way up to two.
Cheyenne[gesturing to Harmonica's wound]... and maybe faster than you.

CheyenneMa'am, it seems to me you ain't caught the idea.
JillOf course I have. I'm here alone in the hands of a bandit who smelled money. If you want to, you can lay me over the table and amuse yourself, and even call in your men. Well, no woman ever died from that. When you're finished, all I'll need will be a tub of boiling water and I'll be exactly what I was before - with just another filthy memory!
Cheyenne[to Jill]You know what? If I was you, I'd go down there and give those boys a drink. Can't imagine how happy it makes a man to see a woman like you, just to look at her. And if one of them should, uh, pat your behind, just make believe it's nothing. They earned it.

HarmonicaNow I gotta go. Gonna be a beautiful town, Sweetwater.
CheyenneThey wanna hang me, the big black crows. Idiots. What the hell? I'll kill anything, but never a kid. Be like killin' a priest. Catholic priest, that is.

CheyenneYeah, go on. Play, Harmonica. Play, so you can't bullshit. Only watch those false notes.
JillWhat's he waiting for out there? What's he doing?
CheyenneHe's whittling on a piece of wood. I got a feeling, when he stops whittling, something's gonna happen.

Jill[carrying around Brett's photograph]You wake up one morning and say "World, I know you. From now on there are no more surprises," and then you happen to meet a man like this, who looked like a good man - clear eyes, strong hands - and he wants to marry you, which doesn't happen often, and he says he's rich, too, which doesn't hurt.

Cheyenne[pointing his gun at Morton]Hey, you. Wait a minute. Let's have a good look at you. Hey. Mr. Choo-Choo. It's easy to find you. Bastard! I don't have to kill you now. You leave a slime behind you like a snail. Two beautiful shiny rails.

MortonI got on board within sight of the Atlantic, and before my eyes close I want to see the blue of the Pacific outside that window.
FrankI know where you got on. I was there too remember? To remove small obstacles from the track you said. Well there were a few.

CheyenneHey, what in the hell are you standing around for?
Cheyenne's LieutenantWell, gee, what are we supposed to do?
CheyenneWhat are you supposed to do? Build a station! Idiots!
[tosses them pickaxes and other tools]
CheyenneI figure it ain't gonna look like much, but it'll be the first thing she sees, when she gets back.
Frank's lieutenant[seeing Morton deal out 500 dollars each to four of Frank's men as if they were playing cards]How do you, uh... how do you play this game, Mr. Morton?
MortonIt's very simple. As long as you use your head, you never lose.
Cattle Corner Station AgentHey. Hey-hey-hey-hey, if you want any tickets, you'll have to go around, eh, to, eh, the front of, eh, eh... oooh, well, I s'pose it'll be all right. The hell am *I* doin' around here if they walk in and can do as they damn please?
[starts measuring out a square and hammers wood spikes into the ground]
HarmonicaHe knew sooner or later that railroad coming through Flagstone would continue on west, so he looked over all this county out here until he found this hunk of desert. Nobody wanted it, but he bought it.
[continues with work]
HarmonicaThen he tightened his belt, and for years he waited.
HarmonicaI saw a document. It was all in order - seals, signatures, everything. One thing though, in very small print, there is a short clause which says that McBain or his heirs lose all rights if, by the time the railroad reaches this point, the station ain't built yet.

FrankYou paid five thousand dollars for something belongs to me.
FrankYou've made a big mistake, Morton. When you're not on that train, you look like a turtle out of its shell. It's funny. Poor cripple talkin' big so nobody'll know how scared ya are.

[Frank knocks Morton off of his crutches]
MortonIs that sufficient to make you feel stronger?
MortonSure, but you won't do it... because it's not to... your advantage.
FrankHmm. Who knows how far you'd have gone with two good legs, huh?

FrankI'm beginning to think I might be a little sorry killing you. You like being alive. You also like to feel a man's hands all over you. You like it. Even if they're the hands of the man who killed your husband. What a - what a little tramp.
CheyenneIf somebody had a mind to kill me, it fires me up. And a fired-up Cheyenne ain't a nice thing to see. Especially for a lady.

BarmanAnd so, this cousin of mine keeps writing me to come on down to New Orleans. "Come on down. Help me with the bar. Make a pile of money." You know, I don't think I'd get along in a big city. It's too full of fast men and loose women. Begging your pardon, ma'am. Ah, no. Now, I'm too used to a quiet, simple country life.
