- Hiram Gummer: We will make Rejection our last bastion, our last line of defense.
- Juan Padilla: Our Alamo.
- Hiram Gummer: Juan, we were the losers at the Alamo.
- Juan Padilla: Speak for yourself, Gringo.
- Black Hand Kelly: [to Hiram] I'll tell ya one thing, I ain't got your book-learnin', but I do know this: being full-growed don't make ya a man.
- Juan Padilla: You always had everything, didn't you?
- Hiram Gummer: Several of everything.
- Juan Padilla: I just like to get one of something.
- Hiram Gummer: I haven't been on a horse since I... since my 6th birthday party. No, actually, that - that was a camel.
- Black Hand Kelly: Hiram, it's about time you learned how to use a real piece.
- Hiram Gummer: That's your job. If I need a gun fired, I hire a gunman.
- Black Hand Kelly: If you want to bed down with a real pretty woman, I suppose you just hire somebody to do that, too!
- Hiram Gummer: Spare me your tiresome analogies!
- Black Hand Kelly: Hiram! Now I said this once, and I'm gonna say it one more time: There's some things that a man has to do for himself, and right now shooting is one of them!
- Fu Yien Chang: Mr Gummer, I fixed your wheel.
- Hiram Gummer: Impossible, it's a complete loss.
- Fu Yien Chang: Nope.
- Hiram Gummer: Well I... my that's remarkable. Thank You. Thank You very much.
- Fu Yien Chang: That'll be five dollars please.
- Hiram Gummer: Now listen here, no workman would dare ask more than two bits.
- Fu Yien Chang: I'm the only wheel fixer in town! No one else till Carson City.
- Hiram Gummer: That's highway robbery.
- Fu Yien Chang: A word of advice, Mr Gummer. Anyone can be taken advantage of. And if you can, do.
- Fu Yien Chang: What happened to the gingerbread?
- Hiram Gummer: I ate it of course.
- Fu Yien Chang: But I thought you said I could...
- Hiram Gummer: A word of advice, young man. Anyone can be taken advantage of, and if you can, do.
- Juan Padilla: No, no, no. The mine is not played out. Not at all. There is plenty more silver in there, it's just no one wants to go in there and get it.
- Pyong Lien Chang: Seven more men go up since accident. None come back.
- Tecopa: My ancestors talked of spirit beasts that live inside those mountains.
- Hiram Gummer: Spirit beasts?
- Tecopa: Beasts from the underworld. Blind to all, but killing.
- Christine Lord: You're going to hire a gunfighter?
- Hiram Gummer: Bien, bien, bien. I think that is a good idea.
- Pyong Lien Chang: But is it wise? A gunfighter's usually mean, wild.
- Lu Wan Chang: Yeah, drink, shoot inside house.
- Hiram Gummer: But we need someone with fortitude.
- Old Fred: Someone with a little sand in their craw.
- Hiram Gummer: Exactly. Someone who is proficient with firearms, who can...
- Old Fred: Shoot the nuts off a squirrel at 100 paces.
- Hiram Gummer: Thank you.
- Old Fred: Someone like Doc Holiday.
- Tecopa: Except one that ain't dead.
- Old Fred: Doc Holiday's dead?
- Hiram Gummer: I shall send for my belongings. And, of course, I shall see to it that the horse and equipment are returned.
- Christine Lord: That won't be necessary. You can keep the horse and the saddle and the rifle and the knife; in trade for ownership of the mine.
- Hiram Gummer: You can't be serious.
- Christine Lord: It's the best offer you're going to get.
- Hiram Gummer: When I reach Philadelphia, I intend to sell that mine for at least $50,000.
- Christine Lord: You will be preceded by a telegram to the newspapers, describing in great detail these creatures that plague the mine, and why it is unworkable.
- Hiram Gummer: That's blackmail. You wouldn't betray me like that.
- Lu Wan Chang: We voted.
- Pyong Lien Chang: Oh yeah, four-to-one, in favor of doing exactly that.
- Hiram Gummer: At least one of you has some sense of ethics.
- Tecopa: I voted to drop you off a cliff.
- Christine Lord: Mr. Gummer, I'm Christine Lord. Proprietress of the local hotel.
- Hiram Gummer: Well, you're lovelier than Fifth Avenue in Spring!
- Christine Lord: Welcome to Rejection!
- Hiram Gummer: Aptly named, it would seem!
- Black Hand Kelly: Gummer, dag nab it, ain't you got no pride? Get up on the horse by yourself!
- Hiram Gummer: Should I ever again require horsemanship, I will engage a tutor!
- Black Hand Kelly: I'll tell ya one thing, I ain't got your book-learnin', but I do know this: being full-growed don't make ya a man!
- Pyong Lien Chang: Stan Kelton is leaving. Loading up his wagon.
- Christine Lord: Stan, too? Now we're a town without a blacksmith.
- Tecopa: It'll end up as a ghost town if that mine doesn't re-open.
- Fu Yien Chang: If everybody leaves, who will buy our things?
- Lu Wan Chang: No one, and we'll go back to China.
- Pyong Lien Chang: Only way you going back to China is if you learn how to swim!
- Pyong Lien Chang: All the way from Philadelphia. He say, "Low profit from mine unacceptable. Proceeding with all dispatch. Will take matters into hand personally." Sign, Hiram Gummer.
- Old Fred: That's a real $2 name. I'll wager he gets this thing solved faster than a bee with a horse on its tail. Bet you!
- Hiram Gummer: Once I re-open the mine, the whole town will prosper. You'll be able to afford whatever your hearts desire.
- Christine Lord: And what is it that your heart desires, Mr. Gummer?
- Hiram Gummer: To return to the life I had. To wake up every morning and wonder, "What will I spend my money on today?"
- Christine Lord: A curious philosophy. I would venture that it matters not how you spend your money, but how you spend your life.
- Tecopa: My ancestors talked of spirit beasts that live inside those mountains.
- Hiram Gummer: Spirit beasts?
- Tecopa: Beasts from the underworld. Blind to all, but killing.
- Hiram Gummer: Have you all taken leave of your senses? Juan, I want you to gather up the remaining miners, hunt down whatever is doing this.
- Old Fred: And fill 'em full of more holes than a cabbage leaf in a hail storm?
- Hiram Gummer: Precisely.
- Hiram Gummer: if a man like black hand kelly was no match for these things then what chance have we got?
