Jed Quotes in Seven Men from Now (1956)

Jed: You must've rode a long way.

Ben Stride: I walked.

Jed: Ain't you got no horse?

Ben Stride: Did have. Chirichua jumped me about ten mile back.

Jed: They stole 'em?

Ben Stride: They ate him.

Jed: Hang on, Social Services!

Jed: [to Cat, on the train] Ma'am, I apologize for my disgusting condition and I assure you I will not inflict myself on you any further.

Cat: Mrs. Parker didn't introduce us, I'm Catherine Ballou.

Jed: I'm drunk as a skunk.

Jed: Build you life anew, ma'am. This studyin' on revenge is just turnin' your back on the future and lettin' the dead past eat at your heart.

Cat: Where are you staying?

Jed: On the run, ma'am. Hiding out in a crowd.

Jed: Ma'am, I can understand your objection to rustlin' - a girl with your background and gentle upbringing - but it's the only way we can raise money.

Cat: No it's not.

Clay Boone: Well, what do you think we ought to do that's fittin' and proper?

Cat: Rob a train.

Cat: What are you doing here?

Clay Boone: Looking for you.

Cat: But you're an outlaw.

Clay Boone: Sure am! Got a price on my head!

Cat: Shh...

Clay Boone: Twenty five dollars for Jed, thirty five dollars for me. Ha ha!

Jed: I want to thank you ma'am for all your help with my nephew and I.

Clay Boone: Come on, jump.

Jed: Jump?

Clay Boone: Jump!

Cat: Stay here with us. There's somebody trying to kill my father.

Jed: No.

Clay Boone: Jed...

Cat: Jed.

Jed: We'll stay, ma'am, it'll be our pleasure to do what we can.

Cat: We don't need him them.

Clay Boone: I think you do. My Uncle here ain't never shot at a man. It's against his principles.

Cat: Is that true?

Jed: Oh yes, ma'am, that's true. Neither has he.

Clay Boone: But we'll stay and do what we can. As long as there ain't no trouble.

Jed: Hold on. ma'am.

Clay Boone: Listen, Miss Ballou.

Jed: [to Kay] Baby, you look like a bad review come to life.

Jed: [during his deposition] which makes me wonder if this "lawyer" has any idea what kind of grades one must recieve in college to be accepted at a top medical school, if you have the vaguest clue on how talented one must be to lead a surgical team. I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trama from postoperative shock, who do you think they're praying to? Now, go ahead and read your Bible, Dennis, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle, but if you're looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn't like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God.

Jed: Bad things happen to good people all the time, Andy, for no reason what-so-ever...

[as the elevator doors open]

Andy: Speak of the Devil

Jed: And the Devil appears

Jed: Are you a lesbian?

Skunk: No.

Jed: You look like a lesbian.

Skunk: What does a lesbian look like?

Jed: [shrugs] Kind of ugly.

Joe: You're mad.

Jed: That's what they said about Jesus once.

Joe: They also said it about a lot of mad people.

Jed: Hey, come on. Look, I was just having a bit of fun, come on.

Joe: Fuck off.

Jed: I was just trying to cheer you up, Joe.

Joe: Fuck off.

Jed: I was just trying to cheer you up. Come on, Joe, Jo-Jo.

Joe: [Grabs Jed and shoves him up against the wall] Listen to me, listen to me. If you ever, ever, ever fucking bother me again, if you ever come anywhere fucking near me, I wil follow you, I will find you and I will gut you like a fucking fish, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

Jed: You started this, you made this happen. Why don't you admit it? You pretend it's not happening, nothing's happening? YOU FUCK! Giving me all your secret fucking signals so that I come towards you! Why don't you leave me alone, eh? What do you want? What do you want? I love you! I love you! And now you're trying to fucking DESTROY ME!

[singing and walking away]

Jed: GOD ONLY KNOWS WHERE I'D BE WITHOUT YOU!

Jed: [singing] God only knows where I'd be without you...

Linda Moreno: Do you always gin up your women?

Jed: You're more than just a woman to me. You're like a shower of milk from heaven!

Jed: [eating a bowl of pasta] Whoever thought of spaghetti was a genius. He must have made a damn fortune.

Jed: Stupid goddamn female.

Sonny: I'm... I'm not a goddamn female!

Jed: What are you, a chipmunk?

Jed: That's one way you can tell the difference between a man and a woman. A man can spit, and a woman can't!
