- Josh Randall: The law says if a man hires somebody to kill, he's as guilty as the man who pulls the trigger. If they kill that boy, you're gonna hang, Dawson. And I'm gonna see to it.
- Ted Dawson: Alright, I'll give it to you straight. If it's necessary for me to hang to see Randy Holleran exterminated, it'll be worth it.
- Josh Randall: We understand each other.
- Amos Wilson: I'll give you a thousand dollars if you'll leave town right now.
- Josh Randall: Hate comes high here, doesn't it?
- Amos Wilson: It'll be cheap at twice the price, Mr. Randall.
- Randy Holleran: No! It wasn't my fault! I couldn't help what I did. It's what's happened to me in my past. I've been sick all my life. My father never wanted me! It's not my fault!
- Josh Randall: Nobody has an easy time in this world, Holleran. Either you climb out of the muck and become a human being... or you die.
