"You ever read the Bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey, and my mama said, "We're going back East to start over." So she gave me a Bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that Bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back."

"Now, you see, Dan... generally, pretty much everyone wants to live."

"You do one good deed for somebody... I imagine it's habit-forming. Something decent. See that grateful look in their eyes, imagine it makes you feel like Christ Hisself."

"Now, I always liked you, Byron. But you never knew when to shut up. Even bad men love their mamas."

"Your conscience is sensitive, Dan. I don't think it's my favorite part of you."

"It's man's nature to take what he wants, Dan. That's how we're born."

"Well, Tommy... it seems that there was a Pinkerton... inside that coach that wasn't quite dead yet. Now, I know Charlie told you, because... we done got but a few rules in this outfit. And this is what happens when you put us all at risk."

"Well, would you look at all this? Y'all spared no expense this time, Byron. I gotta say, though, it's probably cheaper just to let me rob the damn thing."

"I ain't never been no hero, Wade. The only battle I seen, we was in retreat. My foot got shot off by one of my own men. You try telling that story to your boy. See how he looks at you then."

"[to Alice] If I don't go, we got to pack up and leave, and God knows where, without a prayer, dirt-poor. Now I'm tired, Alice. I am tired of watching my boys go hungry. I'm tired of the way that they look at me. I'm tired of the way that you don't. I've been standing on one leg for three damn years, waiting for God to do me a favor. And He ain't listening."

"When you think about it, which I have been lately, is they weren't paying me to walk away. They were paying me so they could walk away."

"It's too bad the doctors at Essex saved so much of my leg. I read that the pension act pays by the pound now."
