-
Dolan : The way I look at it, a man starts choking a woman is looking to go to hell in a hurry. All I did was oblige him.

Alex Flood : There's still time to buy you a last drink.
Dolan : Only minutes ahead of a rope makes swallowing too tough.
-
Molly Lang : Hired killers.
Dolan : The badge gives them a license.
-
Alex Flood : Why don't you just leave town the way you came in - tomorrow... about nine or ten o'clock.
Dolan : Whatever is best.
Alex Flood : Nine o'clock - it's earlier.

Dolan : Ma'am, do you know what you do when you walk into a bad bar and the hairs on the back of your neck stick up? You get your drink, you pay for it, you turn around, and you walk out.
Molly Lang : And this is a "bad bar"?
Dolan : Yes, ma'am, Jericho is a "bad bar".

Molly Lang : [the next morning, noticing that Dolan is hung-over] Mr. Dolan, if you can't handle whiskey, you shouldn't drink.
Dolan : [With quizzical look on his face, noticing that Molly isn't doing too well, either] Who put *who* to bed last night?... Hmm?
-
Dolan : Now I'm asking you to leave town. Why won't you?
Ben Hickman : [he wants to stay in town, and help Molly Lang fight off Alex Flood and his gang, even though it is a suicide mission] Any man there is, Dolan, has to have some reason to get up in the morning.
Dolan : [sarcastically] Oh, that's very touching! We'll put that on your tombstone: "Here lies Ben Hickman, who had to have a reason to get up in the morning."

Dolan : Forty-nine percent of something is better than a hundred percent of nothing.

Ben Hickman : The setup's like you said.
Dolan : Good; remember don't move until you get to 40.
Ben Hickman : [chuckles] Look who's teaching me how to suck eggs.
Dolan : The difference between a professional and an amateur.
-
Dolan : [to Molly] Man who gets too attached to home-cookin' can't think straight.

Dolan : Been a widow long?
Molly Lang : Not long enough for it to bother me. So don't let it bother you.
