Lundsy: Even the injuns don't want it. They call it shadow country, spirit land. Well, you know how injuns are. Ignorant, not like us.
Paladin: You know, until a few moments ago, I was feeling very superior to a Chinese friend of mine. I forgot that he came by his superstitions honestly. He learned them from the cradle. I can't find any such excuse for you.

Paladin: It's no great tragic thing to remain a child. Their's is the best age. Their world is mysterious and wonderful. Half real and half make-believe. Mr. Bella, the world we live in is not always so pleasant.
Paladin: (addressing the "monster") You know, before I was interrupted, I was about to say that I did not believe in witchcraft, sorcery, etc. However...if you have any contrary thoughts on the subject....
Paladin: Since you and I are chained here with nothing better to do, shall we try again? Now, you look to me like an intelligent bear. As far as bears go, quite satisfactory. But as a devil, or an apparition, you know, I suspect you're something of a fraud.
Maria: Do you want some hot stew?
Paladin: Well, how's it brewed? Fillet of snake and frog's toes? Seasoned with an incantation?
Paladin: Well, how's it brewed? Fillet of snake and frog's toes? Seasoned with an incantation?
Maria: Why talk?
Dan: Why not?
Maria: There's always some man somewhere who won't be scared off, like (Paladin). Materialize an apparition on a broomstick in front of him, and he'll ask it to sweep the floor.
