[last lines]

Eula Goodnight: Reuben, I have to say it. Livin' with you has been an adventure any woman would relish for the rest o' time. I look at cha, with your burned out face and your big belly and your bear-like paws and your shining eye, and I have to say you're a credit to the whole male sex, and I'm proud to have ya for my friend.

Rooster Cogburn: I'll be damned if she didn't get the last word in again. Well...

Eula Goodnight: Just to whom do you think you are talking, Mr. Marshall?

Rooster Cogburn: You is to whom I think I am talking, Ma'am.

Eula Goodnight: It's true that you are larger than me... but only physically.

Rooster Cogburn: In this case, my dear lady, that is enough.

Eula Goodnight: Do you mean to tell me that you are prepared to use brute force?

Rooster Cogburn: That is exactly what I mean.

Eula Goodnight: [pause] Oh.

Rooster Cogburn: Say, uh, there's one thing I would like to get straight.

Eula Goodnight: Hmm.

Rooster Cogburn: We both know that the Lord brands lyin' a sin. You think He'll still smile on you after them whoppers you told in there?

Rooster Cogburn: Beautiful quotation. What book? What chapter?

McCoy: Do you know anything about rafts? There's rough water down river.

Rooster Cogburn: I can ride. Can't be much different.

McCoy: You ain't no sailor. I can see that. Water is like a woman: sly and fickle. You gotta watch it every minute.

Rooster Cogburn: You a sailor?

McCoy: I was once. Shanghai McCoy's my name. Been around the Horn, sailed the seven seas, seen everything, done everything, that's how I know people are rotten. I've seen 'em all.

Eula Goodnight: You're wrong, old man. We're made in God's image, and goodness is in us. Even in you.

McCoy: Amazing! I never took you for a Bible-thumper.

[Hits head on bottom of wagon]

Rooster Cogburn: Ow!

[shouts]

Rooster Cogburn: Good night, Ms. Goodnight!

Eula Goodnight: [Whispers] Good night, Reuben.

Rooster Cogburn: That shows you know more about the Lord and His Good Book than you know about men!

Eula Goodnight: That's my good fortune. I know enough about men to steer clear of them.

Eula Goodnight: [the Gatling gun falls in the river] The gun. The gun, Reuben! We've lost the gun!

Rooster Cogburn: Well, now, sister, just what the hell can I do about it?

Rooster Cogburn: How old are you?

Eula Goodnight: Shall we say it has already struck midnight?

Rooster Cogburn: Well, out in the territory, we prize a dead shot more'n we do a lady's charms.

Eula Goodnight: Then I've come to the right place, haven't I? You mean the men in the West do not mind if their women outshoot and outsmart them?

Rooster Cogburn: If they're quiet about it. No, here we value a spirited woman almost as much as we do a spirited horse.

Rooster Cogburn: Longer than I'll remember that quotation, Miss Eula.

Eula Goodnight: [as Rooster first arrives at the mission] You're too late, lawman.

Rooster Cogburn: Too late to stop 'em, but not too late to hang 'em.
