• William Bonney aka Billy the Kid : How come a man that don't think no more of a gun than you do can shoot like that?

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : To a man wearing a badge, a gun is just a tool, but he has to know how to use it.

  William Bonney aka Billy the Kid : I think it means more than that to me. I don't know why. Maybe, it's because I'm not a big man - a lot of men are bigger and tougher than I am. This gun seems to somehow sort of even up everything.

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : I wish you didn't believe that, Billy.

• Paul Mason : I'm Paul Mason. Buy you a drink?

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : Is that *all* you want to buy, Mr. Mason?

• Paul Mason : You're the first gun-toter I ever saw who turned his back to an open room.

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : When a man faces trouble, he doesn't have to worry about his back.

• Paul Mason : I don't mind a man being honest as long as he minds his own business.

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : My business is the law of this county and I intent to mind it.

• Judge Riley : Sorry, Pat, that the law has to shield a man who has no respect for it.

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : My fault, Judge, not yours. I reckon there are as many ways to make the law work as there are to break it. I just picked the wrong one. It's a mistake I won't make again.

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : Billy!

  William Bonney aka Billy the Kid : You mad, Patrick?

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : No - just worried about you, Billy. Can't you stay out of trouble?

  William Bonney aka Billy the Kid : Trouble? Who? Me?

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : If you go too far, I'll have to come after you.

  William Bonney aka Billy the Kid : When you do, you better come shootin', Patrick.

  Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett : I don't want it ever to come to that, Billy.

  William Bonney aka Billy the Kid : That makes two of us.
