"I want you to call the man who sent you here. I want you to tell him you got a very long look at the two of us, we were definitely not the people on the train. Do you understand? If you do that, you do it convincingly, you walk out of here, we give you half a million dollars, okay? If you don't do it convincingly, I take you out back, and I run my fucking tractor over your head the rest of the day. Okay?"

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day."

"You choose your own path, so don't regret it."

"That's life. Do I have a choice?"

"The world's most lethal drug... despair"

"Life's second-greatest pain... rage"

"Life's greatest pain... love"

"Life's greatest enemy... yourself"

"A second to err, a lifetime to pay."

"Judge Gardner: You know what nobody understands about certain kinds of low-pay public service work, every now and then you get to put a fucking stake in a bad guy's heart. I'm not supposed to talk about that when I visit third grade classes for career day and it doesn't get you very far in the country club locker room, but it's hard to beat when you actually get to do it."

"I don't think the gun grew little gun legs and walked out of the house. It's in here somewhere, find it."

"Nicely done, Willy. Truly. A regular chain of evidence. Great stuff. Vivid. Heartbreaking. The victim cries out from beyond the grave. Yeah. Jurors love all that sort of crap, don't they? I bet you don't even need a confession anymore, do you, Willy? I tell you what, though, old sport. Let's make you a new one just in case. The real deal, all the juicy details. You can get your rocks off on that, then, can't you? Huh? I shot my wife in the face, right there. She didn't look so pretty after that. And l stood there looking down at her... and l watched her eyes go all empty. I could smell the blood and the shit. Smelled like metal. And the look on his face! He was trying to get her back to life and l was pissing myself laughing... because I took both the bastards out with one fucking bullet. Yeah. And now you've got your little bullet, haven't you? Got what you want. So bring it all on, kiddo. Bring it all into court. Except you can't, can you? Let's see, now, first year law, double jeopardy. I went to trial, you lost. Oh, pity about that. It doesn't matter what you do now. It doesn't matter what you know. I mean, she could come back from the dead, you see... and testify, spill the beans, and it would mean... nothing. So you can't touch me... ever."

"If I don't have my pistol, I feel almost naked."

"You haven't seen the last of me yet. There's a few dozen people I want to kill before I die."

"[after the gamblers have challenged him] Well, they say medicine can't cure an idiot. [draws sword and kills two of them]"

"[Sanjuro has just killed two men and cut the arm off a third] Coffin maker. Two coffins... No, better make it three."

"[family he has just saved is crying with gratitude] Stop it. Stop it! I hate weaklings! [they keep crying] Stop crying, or I'll kill you!"

"The time is 1860... the emergence of a middle class has brought an end to power of the Tokugawa Dynasty... A samurai, once a dedicated warrior in the employ of Royalty, now finds himself with no master to serve other than his own will to survive... and no devices other than his wit and sword."
