Butterfield Quotes in 3:10 to Yuma (2007)

Dan Evans: What did Doc Potter give his life for, William? McElroy...

Ben Wade: Little red ants on a hill.

Butterfield: I'll pay you the 200, Dan. Right now. And you can walk away.

Dan Evans: You know, this whole ride... it's been egging on me. That's what the government gave me for my leg - 198 dollars 36 cents and the funny thing is that... 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.

Ben Wade: Don't muddy the past in the present, Dan.

Dan Evans: No... Wade, I'm seeing the world the way it is.

Butterfield: Twenty-two robberies. Over four hundred thousand dollars in losses. More in delays. The Southern Pacific will have Ben Wade convicted in a federal court. Hanged in public. An example made. And we will pay to make it happen.

Ben Wade: Y'all notice he didn't mention any of the lives I've taken.

Marshal Weathers: Can I help you?

Charlie Prince: I think maybe a coach headed for here got itself held up in the canyon about ten miles back...

Butterfield: God damn it.

Charlie Prince: ...by Mr. Ben Wade himself.

Marshal Weathers: How did you know it was Wade?

Butterfield: It's been him the last twenty-one times, Marshal.

Charlie Prince: I saw a Mexican sharpshooter and an Apache.

Marshal Weathers: God damn it. Jesus Christ.

Charlie Prince: And I've been told...

Kane: [interrupting him] Did you see The Hand of God?

Charlie Prince: What's that?

Kane: His pistol.

Butterfield: Why the hell didn't you do something?

Charlie Prince: They had a lot of weapons, mister... and they were shootin' bullets.

Dan Evans: I was best shot in my regiment. I'll come... for two-hundred dollars.

Butterfield: You fight for the North or the South?

Dan Evans: North.

Butterfield: We're Southern in name, but Chicago owned. Fine. Two-hundred dollars.

Marshal Weathers: They're probably just running late, Mr. Butterfield.

Butterfield: Pinkertons don't run late. That's why they're paid eighteen dollars a day.

Butterfield: A lot of people believed in Nix. They haven't forgotten his promise.

Ray Miller: About...?

Butterfield: Death.

Ray Miller: What about death?

Butterfield: It's an illusion.

Butterfield: You ever watched a man die? If you watch very closely, you can sometimes see the soul escaping. And if you're very quick, you can catch it.

Butterfield: [to D'Amour] You don't have a clue what you're into, did you?

Ray Miller: I feel it!

Butterfield: [to Tapert] Shhhh.

Harry D'Amour: Deep shit?

Dorothea: [talking about Nix] Think he'll be in a fit state to resurrect after 13 years?

Butterfield: If he was just a man, like me, then no. But... he's not.

Dorothea: What is he, then?

Butterfield: Maybe he'll show you.
