- Tell me, what did he do yesterday that made you so angry?
- It isn't what he did. It's what he didn't do. But we have that straightened out.
- You should be proud of Gillom. He has the making of something special.
- I'm going to send Reverend Saunders to see you tomorrow.
- Maybe it'll make it easier for you.
- No.
- I'm tired of people pawing over my death, for this reason or that or for any reason.
- I suppose that's true of your soul, too.
- My soul is what I've already made of it.
- Maybe you just like being a gunman. Oh, I suppose you prefer the word shootist.
