Dick Liddil: I guess we're the night-owls, you and I.

Jesse James: Yeah, just ain't no peace with old Jesse around. You ought to pity my poor wife.

Jesse James: You ever count the stars? I can't ever get the same number, they keep changin' on me.
Ed Miller: I don't even know what a star is, exactly.
Jesse James: Well, your body knows, it's your mind that forgot.

Factual error: When Bob Ford opens the box under the bed, on top is an issue of "The Jesse James Stories" weekly, which was published from 1901-1903 - fully twenty years after the events of this film. (00:36:10)
