John RussellThat's his business he don't wanna carry one.
JessieIt takes a lot to light a fire under you, doesn't it.
John RussellIf it's alright with you, lady, I just didn't feel like bleeding for him. And even if it isn't alright with you.

[Grimes has just delivered an ultimatum to Mendez and the others]
John RussellHey. I got a question. How are you planning to get back down that hill?
GrimesNow 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.

DorisI've heard a lot of stories about what the Indians do to white women.
GrimesThey do the same thing to white women they do to Indian women, and they don't mind it much, red or white.

John RussellI got one question. How you gonna get down that hill?

John RussellThe dead are dead. You ought to bury them.
JessieI'm sure that's good advice. Trouble is, Mr. Russell, I think you feel the same way about the living.

Grimes[after going through Favor's luggage and taking out the money]Looks like you did good and we did better.
Lamar DeanThat was pretty smart, billin' the government for food for the Indians and then keepin' the money while them poor Indians starve to death.
GrimesYou know, the thing is; he ought to be over here with us instead of standin' over there

John Russell[when the Mexican Bandit comes up the hill to demand the money or they will shoot Mrs. Favor]Shoot her.

Mexican Bandit[Russell and Mendez have ambushed Grimes' gang]Hey, hombre! A compliment on your shooting! You put a hole in me! Whew. I never had a bellyache like this since I'm a little boy. Hey amigo! Friend! I am going to give you back this bullet.

Lamar Dean[Russell has climbed to the top of the stage]What are you doin' up there?
Lamar Dean[stops, turns and looks back]What does that mean?
John RussellMaybe if we all get thirsty we'll go to Delgado's and get some *mezcal*.

JessieAnd 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?
MendezWell, a Mexican's closer to it than a White Mountain Apache, I can tell you that!

Billy Lee[notices Jessie standing by Braden's body after Russell kills him]Uh, Jessie, you want something to cover Braden up?
Jessie[shaking her head ruefully]No, just let him lie there.

BradenI been working since I was ten years old, Jessie, cleaning spittoons at a dime a day. It's now thirty years later, and all I can see out the window here is a dirt road going nowhere. The only thing that changes the view is the spotted dog lifting his leg against the wall over there. Saturday nights, I haul out the town drunks. I get their 25-cent dinners and their rotgut liquor heaved up over the front of my one good shirt. I wear three pounds of iron strapped to my leg. That makes me fair game for any punk cowboy who's had one too many. No, Jess, I don't need a wife. I need out.

🥱
JessieCan you tell me why we keep trotting after you?
John RussellYou better put down that gun. You got two ways to go, put it down or use it. Even if you tie me, you're gonna be dead.

Grimes[to his assocates]Throw down two saddles.
Grimes[to Audra]You're comin' with us.
Audra FavorNo, I think I'll stay here.
GrimesYou will be all right.
Audra FavorI'll be *all right* here.
GrimesOne way or another, you're comin' with us.

BradenGoin' bad, honey.

Mrs. DelgadoI don't think this meat is fresh.
JessieWell, don't think about it. Just cook it.
Mrs. DelgadoBut it smells funny. You think it'll be all right?
JessieYeah, if you put a lot of chili peppers into it. I wouldn't eat it myself on a bet.
🧡

🥱
BradenHey, what's going on?
JessieI'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.
BradenI like it here.
JessieCan'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.

JessieI 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.
