"The strangest trio ever to track a killer. A fearless, one-eyed U.S. marshal who never knew a dry day in his life... a Texas ranger thirsty for bounty money... and a girl still wet behind the ears who didn't care what they were or who they were as long as they had true grit."

"The strangest trio ever to track a killer."

"Mexican Bob: My wounds healed by themselves - from the inside!"

"Moon: He never played me false until he killed me."

"Colonel Stonehill: I just received word that a young girl fell head first down a fifty foot well on the Towson Road. I thought perhaps it was you."

"Colonel Stonehill: Most people around here know of Rooster Cogburn and some people live to regret it. I would not be surprised to learn that he is a relative of yours."

"Tom Chaney: Everything happens to me, and now I'm shot by a child!"

"Tom Chaney: A gun will say a whole lot quick!"

"I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!"

"If that girl don't stay healthy, you don't neither, understand? And you don't get paid!"

"All the Parmalees is touched, but Harold's the worst… no, their Ma's the worst, then comes Harold's brother Farrell… but they're all good shots."

"Most girls like little play-pretties. But you like guns, don't you?"

"I never busted a cap on a woman or anybody much under sixteen. But it's enough that you know that I'll do what I have to do."

"She draws him like a gun! [referring to Mattie's constant invocation of her lawyer's name]"

"I ain't dead yet, you bushwhacker!"

"I served under General Kirby Smith. And I don't have to hang my head when I say it."

"You can't take men by watching them run away!"

"I only take one step at a time. That's why I was given two feet."

"The French is 'La Bourf'. I say 'La Beef'."

"Well, a gun that's unloaded and cocked ain't good for nothin'."

"We've got to get you to a doctor or you'll be deader than he is!"

"Damn that Texican! When you need him, he's dead."

"Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!"

"I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be?"

"Ned doesn't go around killing people for no reason. Had he a reason, he'd kill them."

"Young fella, if you're looking for trouble, I'll accommodate you. Otherwise, leave it alone."

"DAMN a man that whistles!"

"It's a shame, a kid like Moon losing his leg. He's too young to be hoppin' around on a raw peg. Loves to dance too much, and sport!"

"LaBoeuf, if you get crosswise of me you'll think a ton of brick had fell on you! You'll wisht you was back at the Alamo with Travis!"

"By God! She reminds me o' me!"

"A fella that carries a big-bore Sharps carbine might come in handy… if we get jumped by elephants, or buffalo, or something."

"General Price don't belong to me. He just rooms with me. Cats don't belong to nobody. 'Course, I depend on him."

"Baby sister, I was born game, and I mean to go out that way."

"Mr. Rat, I have a writ here that says you are to stop eating Chen Lee's cornmeal forthwith. Now, It's a rat writ, writ for a rat, and this is lawful service of same! [to Mattie] See? He doesn't pay any attention to me. '[shoots the rat] You can't serve papers on a rat, baby sister. You either kill him or let him be."

"Papa's marker is not what was ordered. I will make that wool-hatted fool of a stone man change it."

"Rooster Cogburn is no good friend of mine! He led us straight into your hands, and now he has left me with a gang of cut-throats! Is that what they call "grit" in Fort Smith? We call it something else in Yell County."

"My name is Mattie Ross, of Near Dardanelle in Yell County. My family owns property, and I don't know why I'm being treated like this!"

"I'm going! And it's not because you say I can't, and it's not because you say I can. I paid good cash money to be here, and I'm on my own business! Now, we'll have no more talk about it."

"Those horses can't outrun Little Blackie! They're loaded down with fat men and iron!"

"I won't rest until Tom Chaney is barking in Hell."

"[to Ramon] "When the man with a 45 meets the man with a rifle, you said, "the man with a pistol is a dead man." [unloads his gun] Let's see if it's true. Go ahead, load up and shoot."
