Wolcott Quotes in Heaven's Gate (1980)

Wolcott: They're an ignorant, degraded gang of paupers. Their only stock in trade consists of having large numbers of ragged kids.

Wolcott: I've been working at this for years. Building their confidence in me, the citizens, as well as the governor of this state. But the most important thing is that finally, believe it or not, I have in my bank more than a million dollars, now. The funds the state deposited with me in view of our future public works. What do you think, Ryan? Should I build their stupid old public works with this mountain of dollars?

[Walcott's bandits laugh]

Wolcott: Well, they don't think I should. I guess I'll have to go along with their idea.
