Open Range (2003)

Mack: Shame what this town's come to.
Charley Waite: You could do something about it.
Mack: What? We're freighters. Ralph here's a shopkeeper.
Charley Waite: You're men, ain't you?
Mack: I didn't raise my boys just to see 'em killed.
Charley Waite: Well you may not know this, but there's things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.

Doc Barlow: I'd say 'to good health, ' gentlemen, but then I'd probably be out of business, wouldn't I?
Boss Spearman: We'll drink to good health for them that have it coming.

Boss Spearman: We got a warrant sworn for attempted murder for them that tried to kill the boy who's lying over there at the Doc's, trying to stay alive. Swore out another one for them that murdered the big fella you had in your cell. Only ours ain't writ by no tin star, bought and paid for, Marshal. It's writ by us, and we aim to enforce it.

Sue Barlow: You're a disgrace, Marshal Poole. You always have been.
Sheriff Poole: I know it. That's just the way it is.

Charley Waite: You ever seen one this bad?
Boss Spearman: Not since Noah and the Flood.
Mose: Well, you should know, Boss, since you was there.
Boss Spearman: What'd you say?
Button: He said, "You should know since you was there."

Boss Spearman: She ought not to sneak up like that.
Charley Waite: She weren't sneaking. I scared that woman half to death.
Boss Spearman: Scared me a little bit too.

Ralph: This is dark chocolate. It comes all the way from Switzerland, Europe. That's near France, see. They call it 'bitter sweet.' Melts in your mouth.
Boss Spearman: You tried it?
Ralph: No.
Boss Spearman: How do you know it melts in your mouth?
Ralph: Well, truth is, we can't afford it ourselves.

Boss Spearman: Man's got a right to protect his property and his life, and we ain't lettin' no rancher or his lawman take either.

Boss Spearman: I married once. Never knowed that did you Charlie? Had a wife and child. Sweet little spread too nothing much but we was young. Loved each other. Never had a cross word. They caught the typhus and died. After that home didn't seem much of a place to spend time. Believe I've chanced my mind on that now that I'm getting on in years. If Button lives and we survive Baxter I am to see to it there's a home he's sleeping in instead of a cold prairie.

Boss Spearman: The name Butler mean anything to you?
Charley Waite: You hear names when you're on the other side of things.
Boss Spearman: He as fast as they say?
Charley Waite: He's a killer.
Boss Spearman: You know him if you saw him?
Charley Waite: He ain't hard to recognize if you know what you're looking for.

Charley Waite: I'm tryin' to put some bad times behind me, but sometimes they don't stay put.

Charley Waite: You're me, ain't yuh?

Boss Spearman: It ain't right to walk away without a word.
Charley Waite: Well what do you want me to tell her, Boss? We probably ain't gonna make it? Be a big fat comfort.

Boss Spearman: It's a shame to go forever without takin' a taste of somethin'.

Charley: There's nuthin' in this town seen a surprise, except you.

Denton Baxter: You're nuthin'.
Boss Spearman: Maybe so, but I'll still be breathin' in another minute.

Boss Spearman: We'll drink to good health for them that have it comin'.

Sue Barlow: So is it marriage that scares you two, or putting down roots?
Boss Spearman: No. Who'd have him? All rangy and mangy like a rough old dog.
Charley Waite: How about I hold your head under water for just a little while?

Boss Spearman: It's a pretty day for makin' things right.

Boss Spearman: We'll let the brains of the outfit do the thinking. Sue?
