Kiss my ass!"

to be dancing with a pretty girl while we're sitting around pulling our tallywhackers.

Mexican gal. Please, Billy!

up and start whooping some ass, you ain't ever gonna see her again!

Thank you for keeping us alive. Lord, be with us in doing the right thing. Our
Father, who art in Heaven, hallow be thy name!

Dick! It's getting cold! (he and Dick both pull guns on each other) I could've
killed you, Dick! I could've killed you, but I don't want to kill you! I want
to eat.
Yen
Sun: I know what you've come to do. You've come to lay with me and cut me into
tiny pieces. You're the bandit that eats children and old people.
Doc: I eat
meat and potatoes.
Yen
Sun: They'll chase after us.
Doc: I'm used to that.
Yen
Sun: I am unclean! That is not for a young man.

the dirty underwear gang out of Liberty, Missouri.
Richard
Brewer: We've got a warrant for you, old man.
Buckshot Roberts: I ain't got
no business with that war no more, peckerhead son of a bitch. I'm on my own! I've
come to pick up the 150 dollars Sheriff Brady has put out for the kid. The rest
of you are only worth about 110, but I'll take it. What a sweet disposition. All
right, let's dance.
William
H. Bonney: Reap it Murphy, you son of a Bitch.
William
H. Bonney: Murphy's taking inventory in Tunstall's store right now and you're
saying that means nothing to you?
Chavez: It means nothing to me? Murphy and
his politicians have taken more blood from me than they ever will from you.
William
H. Bonney: How do you figure?
Chavez: The Red Sands Creek Reservation! 200
people butchered in the snow with their stomachs empty. My mother's people. You
see, Murphy was under government contract to supply us with beef, but two winters
ago, he sent only rotten meat. No corn, no flour, just rancid beef crawling with
worms. A few of my men and I set out to a camp in the middle of the night to try
and get food. Oh yeahy welcomed us in, and then they fired at us. I got away,
only me. But when I got back to the Red Sands, I found out that the army had already
heard about our big indian uprising and they paid us back. My mother was cut by
a saber from her privates to her neck. My sisters were just babies, and they had
their heads bashed in with boot heels so the army could save bullets. Everyone
at the reservation was butchered AND IT MEANS NOTHING TO ME? Oh yeah, I went into
Lincoln to take Murphy's head. And that's when John Tunstall found me, and he
took me in, and he taught me a better way to bury Murphy.
John
Tunstall: I have made a long, steamship journey from London, Mr. Murphy, so I
shall be damned if I am persuaded by something as ugly as political corruption.
So, I'd like for you to take your threats and your sheriff and get off my property.
L.G. Murphy: You're ambitious, Earl, but you'd be better off selling lady's
undergarments in Hampstead.
Colonel
Nathan Dudley: " Mr. Bohney! Mr. mcksween! This is colonel Nathan Dudley
out of Fort Scranton! Come on out, with your hands high!"
William H.
Bonney: "Hahahahaha! With your hands high? I better reason with him. Hey,
Colonel shithead! You can kiss my ass! Get president Hayes down heren we'll come
out! We'll see how they like that one!"
