- Josiah Boyd: A few years back your Daddy and some other respectable citizens got together and decided Single Tree got too wild for upright folks. So what they did, they split it down the middle. Sin on one side, sermons on the other.
- Seldon Hollingsworth: How come you tell me this?
- Josiah Boyd: Because that's where my money is. Down where your Daddy planted me, south of the Deadline. You got as much chance of collecting that debt as I have of preaching Easter Services.
- Johnny Yuma: Only a fool dies for a stupid gesture. A man's death should count for something. It wasn't courtesy that brought you here. It was liquor and pride. You wanted to punish the world for her, didn't you? That's a pretty poor excuse for dying.
- Josiah Boyd: You're early. I, ah, the money won't be ready for an hour yet.
- Johnny Yuma: We'll wait.
- Josiah Boyd: Well, I never doubted that. Buy you gentlemen a drink?
- Seldon Hollingsworth: First drink of hard liquor.
- Josiah Boyd: Make every day a milestone, boy.
