- Micah Torrance: You rode with Tom King?
- Lucas McCain: Once, as a deputy.
- Tom King: But he didn't seem to take to it. I tried to teach him. Old Luke just didn't understand that "dead or alive" meant dead to the law. Saves time and money.
- Tom King: If you're trying to tell me I've turned killer, you've said it before - and louder.
- Lucas McCain: I'm trying to tell you you're a grave-robbin' child killer. You'd cut your own mother's throat!
- Tom King: Don't forget I'm ugly and I smell bad.
