Cort Quotes in The Quick and the Dead (1995)

Cort: Last night, The Kid. Tonight, Herod. You're a busy woman. Any man in this town you're not interested in?

Ellen: Yeah. You.

Cort: There's a click before the strike. Listen to the clock.

Ellen: In case you forgot, Preacher, I saved your life last night.

Cort: No, I think you just stretched it out a bit. I might've even gone to heaven if you'd let me die.

Ellen: Sorry.

Ellen: Don't you even want to fight back?

Cort: Sure. I'd like to kill them all for what they've done. But I won't. Killing people is wrong.

Ellen: Some people deserve to die.

John Herod: I said, are you still fast?

Cort: Faster than you.

Cort: [after killing all of Herod's henchmen] Sorry, John. Changed the rules. From now on, all the fights are fair.

Cort: There's a click before the strike. Listen to the clock.

Cort: Sorry, John. Changed the rules. From now on, all the fights are fair.

Cort: Check this out.

[shows Nikki a shredded power cable]

Nikki: What happened to it?

Cort: I don't know, but I suggest if we don't want to look like it we make this place a memory right now.

[Nikki looks at the cord a few seconds and follows Cort meeting him around the other side]

Cort: Nikki, someone's out there. What if it's that guy, Jason?

Nikki: [rushing him into the RV] I don't wanna know!

Megan: Maybe he was telling the truth. Just because our parents keep telling us that Jason was only a legend doesn't mean it wasn't true. What if he did come back here, looking for the camp counselor that caused him to drown as a boy, searching for the one that decapitated his vengeful mother? And you do know what today's date is, don't you? And I can think of only one thing even more terrifying.

Cort: What?

[Megan points at the school bus of kids]

Cort: Yay, the kids are here.

Bus Monitor: Here they are, and they're all yours.

Sissy: Think I'd rather deal with old Jason.

Nikki: [Nikki and Cort are having sex] This is the best! The best! But you gotta keep it up 'till the end of the song.

Cort: [out of breath] How much longer?

Nikki: Oh, about ten minutes.

[Cort looks at her apprehensively]

Nikki: [Jason pulls the power to the RV and the lights go out] Fuck!

Cort: Aww! Yeah!

Nikki: Cort! You did it already?

Cort: Oh, c'mon wasn't that the end of the song?

Cort: Hey, Nikki, what are you doing back there, taking a dump? Mind if I come back and snatch a peek? Or vice versa?

Cort: Nikki, listen to this.

[as Cort turns up the volume, Jason stabs a hunting knife in Cort's head]

Paula: You guys, I'm getting worried.

Cort: About Jason?

Paula: No, about Darren and Lizbeth. They should've at least called, don't you think? Megan?

Megan: What?

Paula: Hello?

Megan: Yeah.

Sissy: This girl's back in the jail cell with her prisoner of love. Don't be messing with no crazy jailbird, girl. Those dudes are bad news.

Megan: And how do you know?

Sissy: I've been around long enough to see plenty on TV.

Megan: TV?

Cort: My dad said that if he ever caught someone going in there, that their dead meat.
