The Quick and the Dead (1995) Edit

A bladder full of hot air.

Ace of spades.

Adios, Reverend.

All I hear from you, you spineless cowards...

All I want is his respect.

All right, all right.

All right, gentlemen.

All right!

All right.

All that work, Cort...

All the way.

And another bullet went into my head, today, here, and did not come out yet.

And as for myself, would you believe it?

And don't try to stare me down like you're doing now.

And if this is the only way he's gonna admit that...

And l doubt a lying little chickenshit like you was even in the same state.

And l feel that it must be God's will that I'm here.

And l....

And of course, I always win.

And that concludes the lessons for the day.

And the lady moves to round three.

And the rules say you have to accept every challenge.

And they fight at 7:00 tonight.

And they're waiting, hoping...

And this This is the best help a man can get.

And this is the customized Remington new model.

And yet somehow, you've all managed to find the money...

And you're not half the man I am.

Another bullet went through my left foot.

Another bullet went through my lip.

Another gun in town.

Any problem with that?

Anybody can challenge anybody.

Anybody else?

Anyone else?

Applause him.

Are you done? Stay down, now, unless you're still fighting.

Are you here for the contest?

Are you really gonna do it?

Are you still fast?

Aren't you even gonna stay for Cort's fight?

Army .44. It's probably more accurate than your Colt.

As soon as the rain stops, I'm gonna make an example of you.

Asshole.

At least this way, I get to face my enemies.

At least this way, I get to face my enemies.

Bad idea. Bad idea.

Barkeep, l want a bottle of champagne.

Because I never seen a woman carry a gun before.

Because you clearly haven't got the message!

Bet you're a good shot. Maybe you could

Bitch!

Boy.

Bravo.

Break my nose twice.

But don't let that same man suddenly tell me...

But he was just a buffoon. You're not.

But l have renounced violence.

But the man who wins the contest gets this:

Changed the rules. From now on, all the fights are fair.

Clear the street!

Clear the streets!

Come on, Kid.

Come on, Kid.

Come on, preacher, move it. Get up!

Come on, preacher.

Come on.

Compliments of Mr. Herod and Wells Fargo.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Correctly.

Cort was an outlaw, like us.

Daddy, no!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Did I kill him?

Did that fight really take place?

Did you even see me, I was so damn fast?

Did you ever kill anyone?

Didn't need to go to that trouble just for me.

Didn't need to go to that trouble just for me.

Die!

Do I hear clucking? Did somebody bring a chicken in here?

Do we have any real gunmen in this room?

Do you have some particular problem with me?

Does it remind you of the good old days?

Doesn't give me any pleasure.

Don't ever cross me.

Don't ever wear it when you're drunk or you'll kill your feet.

Don't go down that road. You don't have to become like me.

Don't keep Mr. Herod waiting.

Don't l get an answer?

Don't mind my daddy. He's just stupid.

Don't you blame yourself, now.

Don't you even wanna fight back?

Don't you worry about this.

Drink.

Drinks are on me, fellas.

Drop out. You've made your point.

Each man who enters the contest will fight once a day.

Easy.

Ever since the first time l saw you.

Everybody already knows you're the best.

Faster than you.

Felt natural, didn't it? Nice and smooth?

First completely fearless man l met and he wanted me to be the same as him.

Forgive me for my sins.

Four fights today, featuring the eight remaining contestants.

Four.

From now on, we fight to the death.

Gene, you better start practising.

Gentlemen, please remember...

Gentlemen, the street is yours.

Gentlemen, the street is yours.

Get away!

Get away! Get away. Stay off of him.

Get in there!

Get off him!

Get on up there. Kill him.

Get out of here.

Get the hell out of here. Go.

Get up!

Get up! Come on!

Give me another bullet, John.

Give me another bullet.

Give me that.

Go on. Get the hell out of here.

Go on. It's yours. Go ahead. Take it.

Go on. Put your gun hand up on the counter.

God.

God's on your side, brother!

Goddamn.

Gold teeth! A whole mouthful of gold teeth!

Gold teeth! I got some gold teeth.

Gold teeth! I got uppers, l got lowers.

Goodbye, Ratsy.

Got 20 bucks on you, boy!

Gutzon.

Have you taken a vow of silence?

He gets 50 cents of every dollar in this town.

He killed that lndian.

He made you do it.

He singled me out because I was...

He stinks something awful.

He stinks worse dead.

He took a bullet, put it in his gun...

He used to make my mother and me watch people being hanged...

He was the best friend I ever had.

He wouldn't take it.

He's a fraud.

He's a man of peace.

He's gonna forgive us. He's gonna forgive us all.

He's just a little bit slower than he used to be.

He's no preacher.

He's not here.

He's so hot.

Hello, bonita. Hey, hey!

Hello, Cort.

Here. l got offered $120 for this Colt. You wanna try it out?

Here's a gunfighter's hand and here's a farmer's hand.

Herod's men...

Hey, good morning.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, little darling.

Hey, look, girls, there he is.

Hey, there, Mr. Swedish Champion.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hold it up.

Horace said you drink this. You sure must wanna die young, miss.

Horace, your excuses are getting worse every week.

How about that left handed draw?

How can you live like this?

How can you live like this?

How do you feel after surviving your first day?

How do you feel? I'm nervous.

How does it feel, Cort?

How does that sound?

How far are you prepared to go?

How long did you do this time?

I ain't got no farmer's hands.

I ain't got slow hands.

I ain't never wrong.

I also have very fine cigars, India ink.

I always wanted to fight you, Cort.

I am gonna kill you, bitch!

I am the best you'll ever see.

I apologise for my undignified behaviour...

I bring a sense of order to their lives.

I came here to kill Herod, and that's what I'm gonna do.

I can't kill him!

I can't remember!

I can't.

I can't.

I could draw with my left hand.

I could give you more money than you could ever spend.

I decide who lives or who dies!

I didn't say nothing about joining no contest.

I didn't.

I do now.

I don't care about you or anybody else in this town.

I don't think you have.

I don't think you heard me right. I said l liked you!

I don't wanna die!

I don't win because I'm lucky.

I fear no evil.

I find myself almost uncontrollably attracted to you.

I got 35 years, but they let me out early.

I got money on you, preacher!

I got money on you!

I guess I'd better go now.

I guess it doesn't excite me as much as it does you.

I guess it doesn't excite me as much as it does you.

I had my chance and l was scared.

I had the trigger guard removed. It saves drawing time.

I hear you have a mission down in Hermosillo.

I heard him move his hand.

I heard you blew a little girl's thumb off in Reno doing that.

I hope you don't mind my saying that.

I just reached my peak.

I knew I'd find you here.

I know this is probably the wrong time...

I know.

I love you.

I might have gone to heaven if you let me die.

I now declare the quick draw competition open.

I pulled this from the fire.

I said, are you still fast?

I said, what are you doing here?

I should have let you die.

I shouldn't have come here.

I tell you, people. I'm on a different level.

I thought Ace Hanlon was the hired gun.

I thought I explained the rules to you very carefully.

I wanna know what I'm drinking.

I want you.

I wanted to see what kind of man you are.

I was beginning to worry you wouldn't make it in time. It's been a while.

I was married to a beautiful woman.

I was so sure of it.

I was the only one who pulled the trigger.

I wasn't always a preacher.

I would think a man like you would have a woman.

I wouldn't feel like I'd earned it.

I'd like to kill them all for what they've done. But l won't.

I'll give you three shots to save your daddy's life.

I'll only step down when you step down.

I'll only wound you, Kid.

I'll tell you what. I'll be a good Samaritan.

I'm about the only guy who can take him, and l ain't gonna rush to do that.

I'm confused.

I'm gonna be pissing on your grave tonight.

I'm gonna kill you if l ever see you again!

I'm gonna kill you if l have to ride all the way to hell to do it.

I'm his son.

I'm in charge of everything!

I'm just a gentleman adventurer...

I'm not fighting anybody else.

I'm not fighting you.

I'm not gonna fight.

I'm not sick or old.

I'm not trying to be popular.

I'm offering her a job.

I'm so clumsy, I must be blind.

I'm so damn fast, I can wake up at dawn...

I'm Swedish champion.

I'm telling you to step down.

I'm through.

I've already been challenged.

I've killed 1 7 men.

If both men are still standing, you must continue firing.

If he cheats, he'll be eliminated from the contest.

If l don't sleep on it, people will steal it.

If you live to see the dawn, it's because I allow it!

In case you forgot, preacher, I saved your life last night.

In fact, he used to ride with me.

In fact, l am the new goddamn mayor of this town!

Interested in first class whisky?

Into the valley of death....

Is it possible to improve on perfection?

Is it possible?

Is that right?

Is that true? ls that true?

Is your heart beating faster?

Is your pulse racing?

It doesn't matter what l do now. I'm already damned, I know that.

It must make you angry.

It takes a lot to scare me. I love the sensation.

It was a big thing for you to enter the contest.

It was a farmer that was.... He wasn't mine.

It was never proved that he was my son.

It would be the same if you keep riding.

It's a pity you weren't there to find out.

It's a very special pack.

It's full of people who'd kill you for your bootlaces.

It's just that women can't shoot for shit.

It's just this itch that I had to scratch.

It's lights out, Kid!

It's okay, Kid. I won't draw.

It's time.

John Herod owns that house.

John! John!

Just hold the gun in both hands.

Just make sure you wash up wherever he touches you. Okay?

Just meat and potatoes.

Just one.

Just remember...

Just running a little errand for me.

Katie, let's go get the lady a room and a bath.

Killing is purely a business proposition for me.

Killing people is wrong.

Lady, come on out!

Lady's the winner!

Last bets!

Last chance.

Last fight of the day!

Leave her alone, you vultures! Don't touch her!

Left alive!

Left alive.

Let her go before you kill me.

Let her go, you son of a bitch! Let her go!

Let me make it clear.

Let me make something clear to both of you: You are gonna fight.

Let's see how you gonna do now, preacher.

Like hanging a preacher in the saloon?

Like l said, for the money.

Live like what?

Look at these teeth! A gold crown!

Look at this town.

Look at this, Cort.

Look at you. You're scared.

Look.

Look.

Looks like you're going to the next round, preacher.

Looks like you're having a good time playing with yourself.

Man's dead. Cort's the winner.

Maybe five years ago he was the fastest...

Maybe one day your luck will run out.

Me and Jesse James think it's the best handgun in the world.

Move it, preacher.

Mr. Ace Hanlon.

Mr. Gutzon is the first to go up.

Mr. Hanlon...

Mr. Herod fights the Kid.

Mr. Herod, it was a little lean this week.

Mr. Herod.

My father was a judge.

My friend here needs a gun.

My name is Clay Cantrell, and I'm a shootist.

My name's Fee, but...

My nose!

Nice shooting, Reverend. Like l always say...

No disgrace.

No women in quick draw. It's against the rules!

No, don't kill me! Please!

No, in here. On the chair.

No, no, no. You see, it's a gunfight. We both have guns.

No, please don't kill me! No, no.

No! No!

No! Please!

No. I think you just stretched it out a bit.

No. It ain't about that.

No. No.

Nobody walks out on this contest. Nobody stands down.

None of this is your fault.

Not in the case. The cheapest piece of worthless crap in the whole store.

Not law, order.

Now we'll see how fast you can draw.

Now, do you have a room available?

Now, goddamn it!

Now!

Nowhere as cheap.

Of course I do.

Of course I do. I brought you into this world.

Of course we'll fight. But the rules say tomorrow.

Of course, that's all changed now.

Of course, unlike Mr. Ace Hanlon, I really can fight with both hands.

Oh, but l was, Ace.

Oh, God.

Oh, Jesus. She's dead.

Oh, man.

Oh, my Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes, you would.

Okay, okay.

Old news.

Once that happens, you may fire at your convenience.

One day he said there was too much bad in this world.

One hundred and twenty three thousand dollars.

One of these days...

One!

Only 30 of these ever made.

Only four contestants left.

Or is Sweden just a very small place? Tell me, now.

Pity your hands are so slow.

Place your last bets!

Please, don't kill me! Please!

Please! I don't wanna die.

Preacher boy, you're a dead man!

Preacher here's got the Lord on his side. He only needs one bullet.

Promise me Promise me you'll leave Herod for me.

Pull the hammer back.

Put her down, goddamn it!

Put my damn name up.

Put my name up on this goddamn list.

Quick firing resumes tomorrow at noon.

Quiet!

Quiet! Quiet!

Ratsy, you now have 1 5 seconds.

Ratsy, you ruined the contest. You got 20 seconds to get out of town.

Reverend here needs a gun.

Right now. Place your last bets!

Right. Spotted Horse. Do we have any other fighters?

Room in back. Yes, ma'am. Coming up. Coming up, coming up.

Round three!

Round two!

Scars! S C A R S.

See, l put an ace in every time l kill a man.

See? I've taken four bullets in my arm...

Seems like you definitely had a good time last night.

Seems like you definitely had a good time last night.

Seventy five offences and no convictions.

Shall we find out?

She good?

She was unfaithful.

She's dead.

Shit, come on. Pull him up, Foy.

Shit, that was fast.

Shit.

Shoot the rope...

Shut up!

Sign me up!

Six.

So l keep hearing.

So l killed the priest.

So, l.... I....

Solid ivory handle. Mexican emblem.

Some people deserve to die.

Somebody give me a bullet!

Son of a bitch!

Sorry, John.

Sorry.

Spotted Horse cannot be killed by a bullet.

Spotted Horse cannot be killed by a bullet.

Spotted Horse cannot be killed by a bullet.

Spotted Horse! Many white men will leave this town in wooden boxes.

Stand back.

Stand down. Let me take him in the final. He'll be just as dead.

Storm's coming up. No more fights till we see what it's gonna do.

String him up! Put him on the chair!

Sunshine and cactus flowers...

Sure did.

Sure you do. Put your hand on the counter here.

Sure.

Tell you what. I've had my three shots.

Ten.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

That gun shoots straight. I wouldn't sell it if it didn't.

That little girl is gonna be a real good earner.

That or the biggest liar.

That surprises you.

That's a girl. Thanks very much.

That's a neat trick.

That's right.

The fighting begins tomorrow on the street, not in here.

The gunfight is in the head...

The lady fights Mr. Kelly.

The last thing l remember was you puking and passing out...

The man's dead.

The only thing that makes him invincible...

The people in this town, they need me.

The scourge of the sagebrush.

The terror of Tucson.

The time of the fight...

The winner is the contestant left standing.

Then it's true that you gunned down four men?

Then l won't be around to answer any more of your dumb questions.

Then the lady fights Cort.

There are good people here.

There is nothing on this earth that frightens me now.

There was a time when you couldn't tell us apart.

There you are.

There's a click before the strike. Listen to the clock.

There's a click before the strike. Listen to the clock.

There's a lot of people here that want entertainment.

There's always forgiveness if you ask for it.

There's no rule against ladies.

There's plenty of other places in town to buy a gun.

These are my boys. They don't get to church much.

They can't sneak up and shoot me in the back.

They can't sneak up and shoot me in the back.

They'll be here.

They're calling for you on the street.

They're just cowards, like me.

Think about it.

Thirsty?

Thirteen, if you count Foy, but he and Ratsy aren't back yet.

Thirty eight, long Colt.

This contest is not over yet!

This here's the eagle butt Peacemaker.

This is my town!

This padre hid us in his mission...

This thing is so hard. I don't know how you sleep on it.

This what you wanted all along?

Thought you weren't gonna fight, huh?

Three days.

Three. Yes, I ask you three, you give me one. Come on, give me more.

Time's up, Ratsy!

Today l am.

Tonight, Herod. You're a busy woman.

Tonight, Herod. You're a busy woman.

Try to understand, we prayed to God a man like you would come to help us.

Two hundred? Not good enough. ls that it?

Two with my left hand, two with my right hand.

Understand this:

Virgil Sparks joins the list.

Virgil Sparks. The pride of Texas.

Wait a minute. Please, don't make my little girl watch this. Please.

Wait, gal!

Wait, that's not fair. l only ever done what you told me to, Mr. Herod.

Wanna play poker, little lady?

We aim. We fire. You die.

We burned that mission down, sir, just like you said.

We got a lot of spaces here. Let's fill them up, men.

We used to go revenue collecting along the border, the two of us...

We'll see.

We're gonna have to bury this old man deep.

We're just wasting this boy's time then, aren't we?

We're the genuine article. But you

We're with you!

Welcome back, killer.

Well, hell, he's my father.

Well, l wanted to ask you one simple question.

Well, maybe you should have called your priest.

Well, that makes...

Well, this ain't much of a town for a preacher.

Well, we'll see about that.

Well, well. What a surprise, John.

Well, why not?

Well...

Weren't you?

What am I to think?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing there? No.

What can you possibly get out of this?

What do you say?

What do you want?

What if you get killed?

What kind of man am I?

What the heck ?

What the hell ails you? That's Mr. Herod's prisoner, lady.

What's the cheapest gun you got?

What's the odds on the Kid?

What's wrong with you?

Whatever happens, if he's still standing in the end...

When it comes down to it, you'll pull the trigger.

When's the last time you held a gun, Cort?

Where have you come from?

Where's all this money coming from?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Whoa, now. What if somebody gets too excited and starts shooting early?

Whoever is standing after the draw...

Why did you call me up here?

Why don't you come and get some?

Wouldn't hurt a fly.

Wriggled like a fish.

Yeah, come on, Kid.

Yeah, Kid. You got him.

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah.

Yep.

Yep. That's the story of Flatnose Freddy...

Yes, l give up.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

Yes.

You ain't gonna take my gold, mister!

You been challenged to a fight yet?

You better put me and my friend Eugene on the list.

You better win. I got money on you.

You can do it, darling.

You can do it.

You changing the rules.

You come here now! Do you hear me?

You could have turned me down.

You don't have to do this.

You don't tell me what to do.

You don't wanna fight, huh?

You filthy son of a bitch.

You goddamn Sunday bitch! I'll blow a hole in you

You got a problem with that, scuttle your butt out of town.

You got my word.

You had your chance to quit. Now it's gone.

You have a choice to be here. I don't.

You have now. I'll go get you some time.

You know, Cort and me are killers.

You know, your mouth gets faster every day.

You look like you been riding a long time.

You made your point. Now I want you to step down.

You may fire at the first chime of the clock.

You must be the fastest gun in the West.

You own a little piece of heaven?

You refuse to fight, my men will kill you.

You said you weren't gonna fight!

You said you weren't gonna fight!

You see, I was the one that really killed the Terrence brothers.

You see, it all comes down to one thing:

You see, the truth is...

You smell good.

You stole my life.

You stole my life.

You think I do this contest because it's fun?

You try to leave town, my men will kill you.

You used to be fast.

You were so fast, Kid.

You would fight your own son.

You'll get the idea.

You're a kind man.

You're dead meat.

You're dead!

You're dead.

You're from different stock.

You're gonna die now, girl.

You're looking at me and you're thinking...

You're more scared of living.

You're not fast enough for me!

You're pretty fast. Hope l don't have to fight you.

You're through.

You're trembling like a leaf.

You're wasting my time.

You've been dead since it happened.

You've been here for hours looking for his grave.

Your gunfighter's dead.

Your time will come.

pay for that. Oh, boy. And you gonna take him.

...courtesy of Mr. Herod. All right!

...every fighter is entitled... Here you go.

...will be pulled from a hat. Hey, sweetheart.

Ace Hanlon. Yeah, Ace Hanlon.

Add my name to the list. Attaboy!

Any man here you're not interested in? Yeah. You.

Bitch, I'll kill you! Outside, you bastard!

Come back here! No!

Come on! You can do it! We love you!

Daddy, are you all right? Where are you hit?

Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

Damn! Hey, come back here.

Deal me in, boys. All right!

Five bucks. Sold!

Five. Kill me!

Hey, miss? What?

Hey. For the duration of the contest...

Hi, Scars. Shut up!

Holy moly! Goodness.

How about a room? Whores next door.

How many brave men do we have? There are 1 2 right now, Mr. Herod.

How you doing? Do we have any more fighters?

I'll even let you name the time. Dawn.

I'm gonna put my name up. Put my name up there.

I'm here for the money. Then you have to play by the rules.

I'm worth $3000 in four states. Anybody else?

It's starting any minute now l don't care about him.

Just fine. Yeah.

Kid's the winner. Am I fast?

Kid's the winner. l heard him.

Kill me! Three.

l challenge you. Go away.

l need a woman. You need a bath.

l want you in that contest. No.

Like hell, I did. You shot him?

My nose! I'm shocked.

Nine. Draw your gun.

No, please. This contest is not over...

No, three. How many?

Nothing. l have to go.

Oh, my God! Shit!

Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! What do you think, Cort?

Or how about a little... Christ.

Perfume. Just shine my boots.

Pick a card, honey. Thank you.

Put my name up there. All right.

Put them both in the contest. Free drinks for all fighters!

Right now! You got it, whore!

Same as yesterday. No. Your eyes are shining.

Say that again. l say whores next door.

Sergeant Cantrell. How do you spell that?

Settle down, Eugene. Settle down. I'll take you now with my bare hands!

Seven. Draw, goddamn it!

Sleep well? Not as well as you.

So who you gonna challenge today? Herod.

Stand down. l will not stand down.

String him up. Let's get him outside!

Thank you, Ratsy. Goodbye.

That's a matter of opinion. Do we?

That's all there was. Barkeep.

That's worse than a liar. Why does he upset you so much?

There's no point in both of us dying. Eight.

This is strictly business. l have this candelabra.

Turn the other cheek, preacher. Kick his ass!

Two. Please.

Way to go, Kid! Good shooting, Kid!

We beat the hell out of him. Shit, he ain't nothing.

What are they worth? Two hundred dollars.

What kind of ink do you have? Any kind you need.

What the hell ? Hey!

What's the town get? lt gets to live.

Who did that? l did that, Mr. Herod.

Yes, sir. And don't you dare open it.

You ain't going nowhere. l hope you don't feel...

You ain't got no choice. l told you!

You can do it. No, I can't!

You have to kill the man. Spotted Chief.

You shoot, you die. Easy, muchacho!

You supposed to lay down and die. He shot me!

You supposed to lay down and die. He shot me!

You're pretty. You're not.

Your father was l don't wanna talk about it.

...a little smarter, a little faster than most.

...and if it breaks, your daddy can live.

...and started to count down from 1 0.

...and still be back in bed before you wake up next to me.

...and then they burned his body till there was nothing left.

...and then took it in turns, clicking it at each of us...

...and two bullets in the back.

...and walked out to a street of federal soldiers and got shot up so bad....

...and you and the orphan children praying for salvation.

...behind the saloon, so let's not plan the wedding yet.

...but l like you, and I want you to stay.

...but sometimes it's hard to get a drink around here.

...but time catches up with everyone.

...destroyed for no reason.

...do we have business together today?

...everyone calls me the Kid.

...fifteen.

...for our improvement.

...gun him down.

...he put a gun to the back of my head...

...Herod told me to shoot him.

...is because you all think he is.

...is how poor you are, how you can't afford my taxes.

...is the winner.

...just remember that. Now, come on.
