Episode Quotes
Captain: Now what kind of fool would want to buy a camel?
Paladin: Well, John, you never can tell. Sometimes your best friend.

Old Timer: Just one question--how does a man breed all of them (camels) together?
Paladin: Well, it's not easy. They really have to be in love.

Paladin: In various countries I've been served sheep eyes, roast dog and stewed lizard. Compared to this, they were a bargain.

Bartender: I talked to some folks about your offer. They like the deal but they don't want no killing.
Paladin: Neither do I.

Paladin: Did you come here to pass the time of day or talk business?
Billy Jo Kane: Well, fine. Direct and to the point. You're the kind of man I like.
Paladin: I can't say the same.

Paladin: You're a strange mixture, Kane. So far you've gotten what you want without violence, without really breaking the law. But you're being pushed now, and I wonder what that'll do to you.
Billy Jo Kane: When I want moralizing, Mister, I'll hire me a preacher.
Paladin: No, you won't. There's no immediate profit in it.

Paladin: So far, I've seen you lie, cheat, steal, and try murder. You tried everything but begging. Now get down on your knees, Billy Joe.
