  • [Dan returns to his ranch after seeing the stage hold-up]



    Mrs. Alice Evans:
    Well, I'm glad you're back safe. Heavens, anything could have happened.



    Dan Evans:
    Well, there was no danger... not to us, anyway.



    Mrs. Alice Evans:
    It just seems so terrible.



    Dan Evans:
    Why? What's terrible?



    Mrs. Alice Evans:
    Nothing.



    Dan Evans:
    What's the matter?



    Mrs. Alice Evans:
    Nothing. It seems terrible that something bad can happen and all anybody can do is stand by and watch.



    Dan Evans:
    Lots of things happen where all you can do is stand by and watch.

    Ain't cha gonna help catch 'em?

    Alex Potter, town drunk:
    What'd they look like?



    Ben Wade:
    Oh, they'll be easy to catch. That's three big men on three white horses.



    Alex Potter, town drunk:
    [as he starts to ride off] Three white fellas... on three big horses, huh?

  • Bisbee Marshal:
    Do I have two volunteers?

    We gotta know what we're gettin' ourselves into.



    member of posse #2:
    Sure... might not be safe.



    Bisbee Marshal:
    Safe! Who knows what's safe? I knew a man dropped dead from lookin' at his wife. My own grandmother fought the Indians for sixty years... then choked to death on lemon pie. Do I have two volunteers?

  • [Prince has been pretending to sleep in the lobby of the hotel where they're holding Ben Wade]

    I might as well go along. She won't come now.

    Who was you plannin' to meet?

    My wife - she ran off with a travelin' man.



    Hotel Proprietor-Bartender:
    She did?



    Charlie Prince:
    That's why I've been sittin' up all night. I figgered he'd bring her here.



    Hotel Proprietor-Bartender:
    Well, whaddaya know? Mine ran off, too. I wonder why they do that.



    Charlie Prince:
    I don't know. I've always treated mine alright - never hit her too hard.

  • [first lines]



    Mr. Butterfield, Stage Line Owner:
    Let me warn you - I am Mr. Butterfield; this is my line, these are my passengers. You bother any of them, I'll hound you from here to kingdom come.



    Ben Wade:
    Mr. Butterfield, we don't mean to bother anybody - we just mean to get what's under that tarpaulin up there, that's all

  • Ben Wade:
    Hey, you know you look kind of skinny.



    Emmy:
    I feel skinny.



    Ben Wade:
    That's all right. I don't mind a skinny girl - just so she has blue eyes to make up for it. You got blue eyes?



    Emmy:
    Brown.



    Ben Wade:
    That's all right. They don't have to be blue.


    [they kiss passionately]

  • Emmy:
    Funny, some men you see every day for ten years and you never notice; some men you see once and they're with you for the rest of your life.

  • [after discovering where their leader has been hidden, one of Wade's gang members rides off to gather the outlaws to rescue their leader]



    Ben Wade:
    Now don't go blamin' yourself, because it isn't your fault, you know. He'd have seen the same thing in Benson or Huachuca. No matter where you take me, somebody would be ridin' for help right now. You see, when one of us gets caught, we figure out all the places where they might take us and then we send one man ahead to each of those places... and wait... and watch.

  • Ben Wade:
    What are you squeezin' that watch for? Squeezin' that watch ain't gonna stop time.

  • Mrs. Alice Evans:
    Oh Dan, I don't want a hero, I want you!



    Dan Evans:
    Honest to God, if I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't, but I heard Alex scream. The town drunk gave his life because he believed that people should be able to live in decency and peace together. Do you think I can do less?

  • [last lines]



    Dan Evans:
    Why did you do it, Ben?



    Ben Wade:
    I don't like owing anybody any favors. You saved my life back at the hotel. That's all right, I've broken out of Yuma before.



    Dan Evans:
    Well, my jobs finished when I get you there.

  • Bisbee Marshal:
    Alex, have you been drinking this morning or not?



    Alex Potter, town drunk:
    Marshal, you know I never touch a drop until the stroke of noon.

  • Dan Evans:
    Alex, you been drinkin' this mornin' or not?



    Alex Potter, town drunk:
    Boss, you know I never touch a drop until the stroke of noon!

  • Bisbee Marshal:
    Now the way I figure it, the faster we get him out of here, the safer.



    Alex Potter, town drunk:
    That's right! We'll outsmart 'em every step! We'll outsmart 'em!



    Bisbee Marshal:
    We only got two, three hours head start. They'll probably figure we're going to take him to For Huachuca and turn him in there.



    Alex Potter, town drunk:
    Sure they will!



    Bisbee Marshal:
    And if they don't figure that, they'll figure we've taken him to Benson.



    Alex Potter, town drunk:
    That's a fact!



    Bisbee Marshal:
    And if they don't figure that, then they'll figure we've taken him to Contention City and put him on the 3:10 to Yuma.

  • Mrs. Alice Evans:
    What if you went into town and borrowed the money?



    Dan Evans:
    You know I hate to go begging for help.



    Mrs. Alice Evans:
    Borrowing isn't begging.

  • Ben Wade:
    Well, the street seems to be clear and everybody's going inside. I guess they figure a storm is blowin' up, huh Dan?

  • Ben Wade:
    Is the marshal around?



    Emmy:
    He's in his office.



    Ben Wade:
    Well, you tell him that the coach from Contention was help up. We passed it on the way in. They don't have any horses. Didn't you hear what I said?



    Emmy:
    Yeah, I heard.



    Ben Wade:
    Well, why don't you tell him.



    Emmy:
    Well, the marshal takes his nap between one and two.
