- How did you ever kill so many men?

- I lived most of my life in the wild country, and you set a code of laws to live by.

- I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

- But how could you get into so many fights, and always come out on top?

- I nearly tied you shooting.

- There's nobody up there shooting back at you.

- Bat Masterson told Cobb...

- Bat Masterson?

- Did he mention that third eye you better have?

- For that dumbass amateur.

- It's usually some six-fingered bastard that couldn't hit a cow in the tit with a tin cup that does you in.

I lived most of my life in the wild country, and you set a code of laws to live by. -What laws? -I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

Whoa. I hope you're smart enough to know that that who hit John don't go with guns. -Oh, sure. Yes, sir.

All right. Just don't take too long to die. Be a gent and convenience everybody, and do it soon.

Good morning, sir. Isn't it a beautiful day? -It sure is. It's what we call a false spring.
