- [Couteau is trying to find the tracks of the murderer he, Clive and Jack have been trailing through a driving rainstorm]
- Marshal Jack Craddock: Any luck?
- Corporal Clive Bennett: Nope.
- Marshal Jack Craddock: This trail washed out about five miles back. You seein' somethin' down there, Couteau or are you just takin' a rest?
- Marshal Jack Craddock: [to Clive] I thought you said he could track a snake over a rock face.
- Corporal Clive Bennett: It's been two days. Let's get back... we all need some rest.
- Marshal Jack Craddock: I'll double back, see if I missed anything. Meet you back in Bordertown.
- Corporal Clive Bennett: If you find him, Jack, don't do anything *stupid*.
- Marshal Jack Craddock: I'll fire a warning shot. Make sure he doesn't lose you two in the woods.
- [Harper tears a wanted poster off a wall]
- Marshal Jack Craddock: If you're in need of paper, there's a general store in this town.
- Bogue Harper: I don't recall asking for advice.
- Marshal Jack Craddock: It's just a neighborly suggestion. What's you interest in McKay?
- Bogue Harper: The man he shot in Helena two weeks ago died. He's worth double now... and he's mine.
- Marshal Jack Craddock: Never much cared for a man who killed for dollars.
- Bogue Harper: Then stay out of my way, cowboy.
- Bogue Harper: Box of .44/.40 and some 12-gauge shot shells if you got 'em - double-aught buckshot. I'm gettin' too old to run down the wounded ones.
- [Marie glares at the bounty hunter]
- Bogue Harper: Don't give me that lemon-suckin' look. If it wasn't for men like me you couldn't walk the streets.
- [discussing Couteau, whose brother committed suicide in his jail cell]
- Corporal Clive Bennett: You know, maybe I should go talk to him.
- Marshal Jack Craddock: I'll wager you won't find him. No, he'll probably disappear for a while, then one day he'll just walk into the saloon, sit down and have himself a bowl of chili.
- Corporal Clive Bennett: Sounds like you know him, Jack.
- Marshal Jack Craddock: Don't know him... just know someone who'd handle it the same way.
- [last lines]
- Marie Dumont: What he did and what he was cannot be changed, Gabriel.
- Gabriel Couteau: He told us he was a man from nowhere. In a world this big, there should have been a place for him.
- [hands Couteau a jackknife]
- Marie Dumont: I found this among John's belongings. I thought you might like to have it.
- Gabriel Couteau: Keep it for me. I can't take it now. Maybe later... someday.
