Kevin MacDonald : You always seem to be around, Thornton, when one of my boys get hurt.

Kevin MacDonald : [after Cole has brought his son's body back home]  I guess you're telling the truth; you wouldnta' come down here if you wasn't. I'm obliged to you for that. Cole : It don't help much.

Kevin MacDonald : What do you expect us to do? Cole : Why don't you ask the sheriff? Kevin MacDonald : The sheriff? Ya think I'm gonna wait on him? Sheriff J. P. Harrah : Just give me an hour Macdonald. You can wait that long to die.

Matt MacDonald : Well, look who's here. Kevin MacDonald : You're a little late ain't ya. Saul MacDonald : Yeah, whatcha you do, stop off for a drink? Sheriff J. P. Harrah : All right, I'm late. I maybe too late but that's no reason for the rest of you to get gunned down. Kevin MacDonald : Why do you say that? Sheriff J. P. Harrah : Because you're outclassed.

Kevin MacDonald : Are you backin' him up, Thornton? Sheriff J. P. Harrah : No he isn't. Cole : Let's just say I'm on your side, and this is no job for amateurs.
