- Billy the Kid: I think I'll have another drink of water.
- Doc Holliday: What are you talking about? You didn't have one in the first place.
- Billy the Kid: I know, but I had the same idea about an hour ago.
- Doc Holliday: It wouldn't do any good. Take my advice.
- Billy the Kid: What?
- Doc Holliday: Killing a woman.
- Billy the Kid: Why not?
- Doc Holliday: Because they're all alike. There isn't anything they wouldn't do for you... or to you.
- [Pat and Doc rescue Rio, whom Billy has left bound, gagged and strung up by wrists within sight of a desert waterhole]
- Doc Holliday: You know, I think he's in love with you.
- Rio: What are you talking about?
- Doc Holliday: The crazier a man is for a woman, the crazier he thinks and the crazier he acts.
- Rio: He's only crazy about one thing - himself.
- Pat Garrett: Hey, that gives me a thought. Maybe we'll get Mr. Billy after all.
- Rio: How?
- Pat Garrett: Like you said - if he's crazy enought to do you like this, maybe he's crazy enough to come back to turn you loose.
- Billy the Kid: Pat, I want you to know I'm sorry. I honestly am. Last night, I was ready to kill you. But in the daylight, I can see things much better.
- Prologue: "The Outlaw" is a story of the untamed West. Frontier days when the reckless fire of guns and passions blazed an era of death, destruction and lawlessness. Days when the fiery desert sun beat down avenginly on the many who dared defy justice and outrage decency.
- Doc Holliday: Sonny, that head of yours is sure screwed on tight.
- Billy the Kid: If it wasn't, somebody would have knocked it off long ago.
- Doc Holliday: Well, Billy, I guess this is it. Men are pretty much like children after all. Have you ever seen two kids wrestling in the yard? They push and they tussle and maybe they look like they're fighting... but they're not. They're really friends and everything is fun. Then pretty soon they play a little too rough. One of them gets mad. And in the end, somebody always gets hurt. So for you and me, this is where somebody gets hurt. But when it's over, and however it turns out, son, no hard feelings.
- [first lines]
- Townsman: Doc Holliday just got off the stagecoach! Do you want me and some of the boys to come along with you?
- Pat Garrett: Why do ask that?
- Townsman: Well, I certainly wouldn't want to fool around with him if I were alone.
- Pat Garrett: I don't blame you, but I ain't gonna make no trouble for Doc Holliday. He's my best friend!
- Doc Holliday: I need a little money and I thought maybe you'd like to come in with me.
- [Pat laughs]
- Doc Holliday: What's the matter?
- Pat Garrett: I'll let you have the money, but if the deal's anything like that last one of yours, you better not tell me about it.
- Doc Holliday: Why not?
- [Pat pulls back his vest and reveals his Sheriff's badge]
- Doc Holliday: Where'd you get that?
- Pat Garrett: Oh, they stuck it on me about two weeks ago.
- Doc Holliday: You're the last man I thought would be so easily satisfied.
- Pat Garrett: Well, l... l... , a man's gotta settle down sometime.
- Billy the Kid: That was pretty smart putting sand in those canteens.
- Rio: I had to give you something for your money, didn't I?
- Billy the Kid: Oh, I see. So you sent the Sheriff after us for good measure. No wonder he came alone... all he had to do was take his time and wait for the sun to finish us off.
- Rio: Then how did you get back?
- Billy the Kid: It was pretty tough, but the more I thought about seeing you, *darling*, the easier it got.
- Billy the Kid: Well, go ahead.
- Pat Garrett: Go ahead what?
- Billy the Kid: Aren't you going to say something over Doc?
- Pat Garrett: I don't know what to say. I've never said anything over anybody I've killed before.
- Billy the Kid: I think we ought to say something over Doc.
- Pat Garrett: You better do it.
- Billy the Kid: So long, Doc.
- Pat Garrett: I thought you might want to keep Doc's guns as a keepsake.
- Billy the Kid: Say, I sure would. Thanks, Pat, thanks a lot. I've never had an extra pair. And black holsters, too! They'd go nice with Sunday clothes if I ever get any.
- Doc Holliday: Cutest little fella you ever saw. Mean as mean; but, I dote on him like he was pure rock candy.
- Pat Garrett: Did you see anything of a strange strawberry roan?
- Mike - Waiter: Strawberry roan?
- Doc Holliday: Yeah. About 13 hands high and as cute as bug's ear.
- Billy the Kid: The great Doc Holiday getting someone else to help him. And a policeman at that. I can hardly believe it. And after the way I've heard people talk about you - ever since I was in short pants.
- Billy the Kid: Doc, if you're not already fixed up, you can bunk with me tonight.
- Doc Holliday: No thanks, Billy. I've got a girl. She and her aunt just moved in town.
- Billy the Kid: Yeah?
- Doc Holliday: You got a girl, Billy?
- Billy the Kid: Nah, I ain't got nothin', except that horse.
- Billy the Kid: I'm sorry I was so rough with you.
- Rio McDonald: You didn't hurt me.
- Billy the Kid: You sure?
- Doc Holliday: You can't fool me. A good-lookin' boy like you. You must have a girl somewhere.
- Billy the Kid: Nah. I don't trust 'em.
- Doc Holliday: Hey, you're pretty young to talk like that.
- Billy the Kid: Well, I've known quite a few.
- Doc Holliday: And they all did you dirty, eh, every one of them?
- Billy the Kid: Yeah, every one of 'em.
- Boy: Is it true you got 13 Indian scalps in your war bag?
- Billy the Kid: Had to throw 'em away.
- Boy: Why?
- Billy the Kid: The moths got to them.
- Boy: Ah, you should've tan 'em. That's the best way to keep 'em.
- Billy the Kid: Is that a fact?
- Boy: That's what my Pa told me.
- Rio McDonald: Let me go!
- Billy the Kid: Hold still, lady, or you won't have much dress left.
- Rio McDonald: Let me go!
- Doc Holliday: If he goes out of his head, tie him down. If the neighbors hear him yelling, well, tell 'em your aunt has smallpox. That'll keep 'em away.
- Charley Woodruff: What's wrong with that bird?
- Rio McDonald: Oh, nothing. I have a hen sitting under the bed and he likes to peck at her.
- Rio McDonald: You hungry? I don't think we have anything cooked except some beans.
- Billy the Kid: That'll do for a starter, eh, lollipop?
- Guadalupe: Say, you don't talk like a sick man.
- Billy the Kid: Who said I was?
- Billy the Kid: Well, just to show you my heart's in the right place, I'll let you take your pick.
- Doc Holliday: Huh?
- Rio McDonald: You mean you'd trade me for a horse?
- Billy the Kid: It's up to Doc.
- Pat Garrett: Hurry up with that grub. I wanna get to town before dark.
- Rio McDonald: Well, I've only got two hands.
- Billy the Kid: Why don't you use both of 'em?
- Rio McDonald: I'll use one on you in a minute.
- Rio McDonald: What are you waiting for? Go ahead.
- Billy the Kid: Say, that sounds real nice. I like to hear you ask for it. Keep it up. Beg some more.
- Rio McDonald: What would you like me to say?
- Billy the Kid: Well, you might say "please" very sweetly.
- Rio McDonald: Please.
- Billy the Kid: Will you keep your eyes open?
- Rio McDonald: Yes.
- Billy the Kid: Will you look right at me while I do it?
- Doc Holliday: I don't trust you. I think I'd rather have that cuckoo clock do the counting for me.
- Billy the Kid: Yeah, that's good enough. It's gonna strike in a minute. Should we pull on the last cuckoo?
- Billy the Kid: I'll show you how much I care about her. If you want her back, you can have her and welcome. Now what do you think about that?
- Doc Holliday: I don't want her. Cattle don't graze after sheep.
- Billy the Kid: Sheep? Sheep did you say?
- Doc Holliday: I didn't say goats or monkeys!
- Doc Holliday: I guess you figured you'd better come back and get Rio.
- Billy the Kid: You're daffy. I wouldn't come back two inches to get her.
