The movie's full of 'em.

(After knocking out three of Pierce's men and getting his gun back)

Taw: It's mine! [...] The bullets in here belong to him. You tell him he can come and get them any time.

Yes, its full of them:

(After shooting Hammond and Brown)
KD: Mine hits the ground first.
JW: Mine was taller.

(After the fight in the saloon, out in the forest)
KD: Hey Taw...For a minute back there in the saloon i though you was ready to throw on me.
JW:For a minute back there i was.

Bruce Dern was the one that John Wayne shot. Ironically Dern was to shoot Wayne a few years later in The Cowboys.

And Douglas shot Chuck Roberson, Wayne's longtime double.

Closing comments...(don't hold me exactly but,)

After the exchange in the saloon when Lomax comes back to "claim" his share and Taw tells him it's a hundred thousand and he's stashed it for six months.
Taw: "In the mean time it'd be in your best interest to keep me alive."
Lomax: "With you that's a 24-hour a day job."
Taw: "That's your problem -- Pardner!"
I'd be all night trying to write all of them down. Meantime ill remain...

After Walking Bear says other Indians are dumb:

Jackson: But YOU'RE smart.

Levi: Sure! I learned to live in the white man's world: grab all you can, when you can.

Authority is the aqua regia of golden character.

Mr. Pierce - "Indians don't blow bridges!"

Lomax - "Great! A drunk kid and a crazy old man!"

Fletcher - (drawing a knife on an Indian with a rifle) "You leave that be!"
BLAM!!!

I'm paraphrasing but I remember Lomax asking Taw Jackson if he alway wore his gun over his underwear.

Jackson Replied: "Just lately."

Lomax then pulled open his robe to reveal he was wearing a gun as well.

Maybe someone can correct me on the exact quote.

One I really liked wasn't even spoken. It was the look that he gave the deputy (Gene Evans) who had the spittoon in his hand.
