Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!

Mattie Ross: Do you need a good lawyer?

Ned Pepper: I need a good judge!

Ned Pepper: [laughs] They will do it. Most girls like little play pretties, but you like guns, don't you?

Mattie Ross: If I did I'd have one that worked.

Ned Pepper: Now, what are you doin' here?

Mattie Ross: Tom Chaney shot my father to death in Fort Smith. I was told that Rooster Cogburn has grit. I hired him to go after the murderer. I found him myself and I shot him. If I killed him I would not be in this fix. My revolver misfired.
