A posse feels safe because it's big. They only make a big target. I can ride around and pick off a few. The rest of 'em will lose their guts, turn tail, break up, and go home.

Quote context

[...]

- I've got a hunch the posse will be dropping in on you before night.

- Same people who paid you a visit yesterday, only they won't be the same.

- A posse isn't people. I've ridden with 'em and I've ridden against 'em. A posse is an animal. It moves like one and thinks like one.

- They're men with itchy fingers and a coil of rope around their saddle horns, looking for somebody to hang. And after riding a few hours, they don't care much who they hang.

- You haven't told me a thing I don't know.

- I haven't finished.

- Finish, but be brief.

- A posse feels safe because it's big. They only make a big target. I can ride around and pick off a few. The rest of 'em will lose their guts, turn tail, break up, and go home.

- I hired you for protection. I won't have any killing.

- What do you think they're coming to do to you? Make up your mind, to stay is to fight.

- I'm going to stay. I'm going to fight, but I won't kill.

- To fight, you've got to kill. I don't know any other way.

- You are gun crazy. You'll never be any different.
