- Pat Garrett: Look, Cleary, you've been around long enough to know what happens when law hits a boomtown like Silver Creek.
- Jason Cleary: I heard Wild Bill Hickok say the same thing in Deadwood but it didn't mean much after Jack McCall put a bullet in his head.
- Pat Garrett: Yeah. I saw them hang Jack McCall.
- Sal: Here's to yesterday, Pat.
- Pat Garrett: I'd rather drink to today.
- Sal: That badge you're wearing has five points and everyone of them can scratch. I'd rather remember when it wasn't between us.
- Pat Garrett: I could take it off.
- Sal: Yes you could, but you couldn't take off everything it stands for.
- Sal: Thanks anyway, Pat, but I'll be on the noon stage. There's nothing here for me.
- Pat Garrett: Now, Sal, this town could use an honest place... and a woman like you.
- Sal: Would it matter to you if I stayed?
- Pat Garrett: Let's just say it might matter if you left. Is that enough of an answer?
- Sal: It'll do until the right one comes along.
