Quotes 

• Sheriff Eben Oleson : Hell of a day.

  The Stranger : Just you wait.

• The Stranger : No way out of town. No one coming to help.

  Jake Oleson : Shut up.

  Helen Munson : Ignore him, Jake.

  The Stranger : You can feel it. That cold ain't the weather. That's death approaching. Who do you think they're gonna take first? The girl, who thinks a gun will help her? The kid, sheriff's kid? Or the old gal?

  Jake Oleson : Shut up!

  [Jake throws a board game piece at the Stranger] 

  The Stranger : Oh... yeah... thank you, for the plastique. I can snap that apart and pick the lock.

• The Stranger : Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff. So sweet. So helpless against what is coming.

  Stella Oleson : He's just trying to freak us out.

  Jake Oleson : It's working.

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : We have more important things to think about. I'll check on Gus.

  The Stranger : Check on Gus. Board the windows. Try to hide. They're coming. This time they're gonna take me with them... honor me. Yeah. For all that I have done.

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : They? Who are they?

• The Stranger : No whiskey. No rum.

  Lucy Ikos : Alcohol's illegal this month. Folks have hard enough time in the dark without booze making it worse.

  The Stranger : Well forget about... the liquor, Lucy. Just bring me a bowl of raw hamburger.

  Lucy Ikos : You can only get meat two ways around here - frozen or burned.

  [the Stranger grabs Lucy's hand] 

  The Stranger : You don't bring me what I want to eat. What I want to drink.

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : That's enough, pal. Leave the lady be.

  [the Stranger releases Lucy, and Eben sits down next to him at the counter] 

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : Hey, what do you say the two of us go outside and have a little talk, huh?

  The Stranger : Now what's wrong with a man who wants a little fresh meat?

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : Come on. You and me. Let's go. I'm taking you outside.

  [the Stranger suddenly gets up and faces him] 

  The Stranger : I would like to see that.

• [after getting shot in the arm by Eben] 

  The Stranger : You shithead.

• The Stranger : They didn't take me.

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : Who did they take?

  The Stranger : [upset]  They didn't take me!

• Sheriff Eben Oleson : All right, time to talk. Who are you here with? Who are you here with?

  [the Stranger whimpers in pain] 

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : Who did that to Gus?

  The Stranger : You're a dead man.

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : Where are they?

  The Stranger : [while foaming at the mouth]  I don't talk to dead men. I don't talk to dead men!

  Sheriff Eben Oleson : Well, if I'm dead no one lets you loose from here.

  The Stranger : You're all dead!
