- [a lynching party prepares to hang Joe Neal]
- Lud Fuller: This is far enough. Easy now. If it falls off, it'll be all over. A broken neck ain't gonna get you out of this fast, Neal. Hurry it up, Bud. It'll be light soon. It's a long way back.
- Joe Neal: You'll get yours, Lud. You'll get what's comin' to ya!
- Lud Fuller: Ain't nothin' comin' to me, Joe, except a large hunk of the 46-Connected. Have a nice trip, Joe.
- Angie Kinyon: Are you out of your mind? You expect to hold out against Russ Nevers and his bunch all by yourself?
- Utah Blaine: That's what he's payin' me for.
- Angie Kinyon: Who in blue blazes are you?
- Utah Blaine: Blaine, Mike Blaine. Up in Alta, they started callin' me Utah.
- Rink Witter: How'd you get out of that Mexican jail, Utah?
- Utah Blaine: I just told them I wanted to kill you. They let me out.

- [Utah, Rip and the townsmen defeat the vigilantes in the climatic gunfight]
- Angie Kinyon: Oh, Utah. Are you all right?
- Utah Blaine: Yeah. I wanna go out and see what a town looks like when it grows up.
- Rip Coker: That's what this town's had - growin' pains. Now what are you going to do for excitement?
- Angie Kinyon: I wish I could say there are a lot of decent people out there you're fightin' for, but I can't. They're all land hungry; they're all greedy. All you can do is teach 'em a lesson... or get yourself killed. Not much to offer a man who gets paid for using his guns.
- Utah Blaine: No different anyplace. Everybody wants what he hasn't got, but it'll change. People will have to learn to live by the rules.
- Angie Kinyon: That won't bring my father back. It's lonely out where he is. It's even lonelier being alive.
- Utah Blaine: You ready?
- Rip Coker: Where we goin'?
- Utah Blaine: Could be any place.
- Rip Coker: That's somewhere I've never been.
- Angie Kinyon: That won't bring my father back. It's lonely out where he is.
- [Nods toward his grave]
- Angie Kinyon: . It's even lonelier being alive.
