Zack Thomas: How 'bout we get down to business?

Joe Jarrett: Well I drink much better standing up than sittin'.

Zack Thomas: Tell me something Mr. Jarrett, how many states would you say you're wanted in?

Joe Jarrett: How many states are there Mr. Thomas?

Joe Jarrett: Oh, I give you a hundred thousand dollars and you'll give me pardon, right? You know in most states I can buy a pardon for five thousand dollars and they'll throw in a governor.

Zack Thomas: Of course you must be thinking of Rhode Island. This here is Texas.

Joe Jarrett: ...And then there are the kids...

Zack Thomas: Kids?

Joe Jarrett: ...All twenty five of them.

Zack Thomas: Twenty five? You must have the fastest horse in Texas. You'd better have a little more of this to keep your strength up.

Zack Thomas: Well if I have to die, I prefer being killed by the hand of a beautiful woman.

Elya Carlson: If you're not careful, my darling, you might just have your wish.

Joe Jarrett: Don't try and talk me out of this loot, Zack. I'm no soft hearted railroad president.

Zack Thomas: I'm trying to talk you into something. Now this here's a lot of money.

Joe Jarrett: Oh, yeah. Ordinarily a hundred thousand dollars'll be enough for two, but not me. You see, I was born greedy.

Zack Thomas: But this money's just the beginning, Joe. If my plan works, we'll get a half a million a year.

Joe Jarrett: Why, thank you, Zach.

Zack Thomas: Now, you want to buy in?

Joe Jarrett: I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. Nothing personal, mind you. No, I'm beginning to like you too. And a man who'd try to con you when he has a gun held on him can't be all bad.

Zack Thomas: Well, like you just said. I guess you underrated me, Joe.

Zack Thomas: You!

Joe Jarrett: No, not me. Him.

Zack Thomas: What do you suggest?

Joe Jarrett: Well, I don't like to louse up a new sporting jacket, but I think... well, maybe you and I, we could settle this between us, you know. Winner take all.
