Quotes 

• Bass Reeves : We do this my way. Understood?

  Wyatt Logan : Yup. As long as they catch bullets in the end.

  Bass Reeves : Catch bullets? What the hell is wrong with y'all? This ain't the 1820s. We capture and bring 'em to justice. Alive. Understood? You want my help, I need your word, son. Do I have it?

  Wyatt Logan : Yeah, sure. We do it your way.

  Bass Reeves : Good. Now let's get you two armed up.

  Lucy Preston : What about me?

  Bass Reeves : I'm not in the business of escorting women into danger, ma'am.

  Lucy Preston : Well, you're not escorting me. I'm helping you, and no offense, but you don't really have a choice in the matter.

  Bass Reeves : But not in that dress. Let's get you something proper to wear.

• Grant Johnson : I'm Grant Johnson. Who the hell are you? Hey, Bass?

  Bass Reeves : Yeah?

  Grant Johnson : Who in the hell are they?

  Bass Reeves : Righteous townfolk who aim to bring down a criminal element.

  Grant Johnson : Townfolk?

  Wyatt Logan : [Whispering to Rufus]  Hey, I think he's Tonto.

  Grant Johnson : The hell'd you just say? Hey, Bass.

  Bass Reeves : Yeah?

  Grant Johnson : This one just called me a fool. Trying to hide it in Spanish.

  Bass Reeves : Maybe he's onto something.

  Rufus Carlin : [to Wyatt]  Tonto means fool in Spanish.

  Wyatt Logan : [to Rufus]  I know what it means.

  Rufus Carlin : Whoever wrote "The Lone Ranger" sucks.

  Wyatt Logan : I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... I'm Wyatt.

  Rufus Carlin : Rufus.

  Bass Reeves : Grant, you want to come in here so I can tell you what for?

  Grant Johnson : Yeah, yeah.

  Rufus Carlin : [to Wyatt]  Dude, we're in a posse with the Lone Ranger.

• Wyatt Logan : Jesse James is wanted dead or alive. Are we really just gonna capture him?

  Bass Reeves : It's what's right.

  Wyatt Logan : Yeah, it's just... you're risking your life when shooting him on sight would be a little bit easier.

  Bass Reeves : Who the hell ever said easy and right were the same thing? Look, I'm not saying I'm some sorta hero or anything. I've killed several men. But the thing is that I see them every time I close my eyes, every time I look in the mirror... And I think you know exactly what I'm talking about.

• Wyatt Logan : [SPOILER]  Hey, we did something good. You should be thanking us.

  Bass Reeves : Killing an injured man when he plain said he wished to surrender? That's a lot of things. Good ain't one of 'em. And you'll live with it.

• Wyatt Logan : I loved westerns. That's all I watched when I was a kid. Gary Cooper and John Wayne. They never crossed the line. Good and bad, black and white. There was a code, you know? And then I go to war, and all I can think about is, my gosh, those flicks were a bunch of crap, because nobody is that good. And then we meet this Bass guy, and he really was that good.

• Wyatt Logan : What part of "Jesse James is killing people" don't you understand? People are dying that are not supposed to die. And the longer he's alive, the more he's gonna mess up history. And since when I am the one worried about protecting history? Lucy, I don't know what is going on with you, but you need to get your head in the game, like, right now.

• Wyatt Logan : [meeting the man who allegedly killed his wife]  I'm not trying to drag you back into court or anything. I just... I need to know.

  Wes Gillman : Know what?

  Wyatt Logan : That it was you.

  Wes Gillman : [laughing]  Come on, man, get real.

  Wyatt Logan : You're already locked up on a double murder. You're never getting out, so...

  Wes Gillman : Then what difference does it make what I say to you?

  Wyatt Logan : None to you, everything to me. And if you did do it, don't you think you owe me that?

• Rufus Carlin : Dude, we're in a posse with the Lone Ranger.

  Wyatt Logan : Yeah, well, don't get too excited. They're not gonna be happy with us when this is all over.

  Rufus Carlin : What does that mean?

  Wyatt Logan : We're not gonna let 'em arrest Jesse James. I'm gonna shoot him myself.

  [seeing his expression] 

  Wyatt Logan : What?

  Rufus Carlin : Well, one, you gave Bass your word, and two, does the casualness with which we talk about murder ever bother you?

  Wyatt Logan : It's not murder.

  Rufus Carlin : What is it?

  Wyatt Logan : It's stopping a bad guy from hurting good people. And no, it doesn't bother me.

• Denise Christopher : April 3, 1882.

  Lucy Preston : It's the day that Jesse James died.

  Wyatt Logan : Check it out, Rufus.

  Lucy Preston : He was planning a robbery with Robert and Charles Ford. They're members of his gang. What he didn't know was that they had already made a deal with the governor to double-cross him for the reward money. And when they got the drop on him, they shot him in back while he was dusting a painting. I always remembered that detail.

  Rufus Carlin : So, why's Flynn want Jesse James? Great psychos think alike?

  Denise Christopher : Well, there's only one way to find out. Off you go, cowboys.
