Quotes 

• Quentin Turnbull : Magnificent, isn't it?

  Burke : It's bigger than a breadbox, that's for sure.

  Quentin Turnbull : Do you know who Eli Whitney was?

  Burke : I'm a very undereducated man, Mr. Turnbull. Are we talking about Whitney Sr. or Jr.?

  Quentin Turnbull : [smiles]  Senior. After he invented the cotton gin and started the Industrial Revolution, he went to work for the U.S. military, and pioneered the use of interchangeable parts, firearms, and explosive ordnance, and fairly well singlehandedly invented modern warfare. So, as an exercise they asked him to design a "superweapon." A nation-killer. And this is what he envisaged, but they never built it, because once they realized its potential, they could not conceive of willingly turning such devastation on their fellow man. But I can. And one week from today... the United States will know hell.

  Burke : Cheers!

• Quentin Turnbull : Explain it to me again, Burke.

  Burke : There is no explanation. I gave the bastard two barrels in the chest. By all rights he should be as dead as Billy here.

  Quentin Turnbull : Well, Jonah Hex doesn't know how to die. He'll have to be educated.

  Burke : I have no problem educating the man.

• Burke : I'm gonna hand Turnbull your balls in a snuffbox!

• Burke : You look like a right freak, you know that? Tell me, what's it like to go through life with a face like that?

  Jonah Hex : Let me show you!

  [punches him] 

• Burke : Jonah bloody Hex! I'd know that half-baked piehole anywhere!

• Burke : Lovely little orange balls.

  Turnbull's Gang - Billy : They don't look like much.

  Burke : Maybe. But they'll turn the world to dust all the same. Take 'em, boys. But be careful. Wouldn't want to drop them.
