  Assault Man : My family, please.

  The Colonel : Now you're suddenly worried about your family? When we rode up, instead of protecting your wife and daughter, you fled like a rat.

  Assault Man : Please, please, please... .

  The Colonel : The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual it calls crime. So, let it be so.

• Fugitive : What do you want, you son of a bitch?

  Assault Man : The stuff people use to worship God. Gold - when's it coming?

  Fugitive : We don't know. It never tells when it's coming.

  Assault Man : Huh. Now why do you bother to defend what's not yours, hmm? I know a stagecoach comes here and stops loaded with it. So, when is it coming? Is it today or tomorrow.

  Fugitive : We never know when it's comin' or when it's goin'.

  Assault Man : No. I don't believe you.

  [the Colonel starts to whip Ernest who is tied to a wagon wheel] 

• Assault Man : If all goes well, I will be merciful. I'm not a criminal. I only want what's mine and to uphold the law - *my law*.

  Assault Man : Then you will die.

  Chris : The guards are better than the federals and they're way better than the rangers.

  Assault Man : Believe me, they're not as good as you think.
