Link Stuart

Kuroda Jubie: Give me my clothes!
Link Stuart: I'll give you your clothes, but first I want your word of honor that you won't kill Gauche on sight.
Kuroda Jubie: My clothes!
Link Stuart: Your word.
Kuroda Jubie: [angrily speaks Japanese]
Link Stuart: Don't know what the hell that's all about, but it sounds like it's comin' from the heart. Well?
Kuroda Jubie: Give me five minutes with him.
Link Stuart: Not enough.
Kuroda Jubie: One hour. Give me one full hour.
Link Stuart: I need one full day. Kuroda, I need the time to make Gauche take me to the cash. I wanna be sure it's there.
Kuroda Jubie: No!
Link Stuart: All right, you suit yourself.
[Kuroda starts to shiver in the cold]
Link Stuart: Turnin' blue. Won't be long you'll be nothing but a clump of ice. By nightfall you'll be frozen into the landscape, and you'll never avenge your friend or never get your sword. You're gonna end up in Japanese hell, a disgrace to your ancestors.
Kuroda Jubie: You have my word, I will not kill the man until you say.
Link Stuart: [smiles, gives him his clothes back] Don't take it so hard. I think you're one hell of a man.
Kuroda Jubie: I think you are one son of a bitch.

Link Stuart: Folks, me and my friends are going to put on a little Wild West show for you. Some of you may have heard about it.
[pulls his pistol from his holster]
Link Stuart: It's called a hold-up.

[Link and Kuroda have just killed four members of Gauche's gang who attacked them in Pepita's brothel]
Link Stuart: [ironically] Enjoy the hospitality of the Hotel Maxime.
Kuroda Jubei: Yes. Nice people

[the Japanese ambassador gives Kuroda a knife with a knotted rope attached]
Japanese Ambassador: Each of these knots represents a day. I have given him seven days to recover the Mikado's sword. In seven days, I will pass here again... the same train.
Link Stuart: Suppose he doesn't make it in seven days?
Japanese Ambassador: For the disgrace of failure, he will rip his abdomen... ,kill himself. So will I. We call it hari-kari.
Link Stuart: Well, that's something I'd like to see. Then, he might as well do it now, because I'm not taking him.
[Kuroda draws knife and holds it to Link's throat]
Japanese Ambassador: Then he will cut your head off.
Link Stuart: That's something I wouldn't like to see.

Link Stuart: Cristina, you're a whore. You've always been one. You'll always be one.
Cristina: You always did know how to speak to a woman.

[after Kuroda hurls Link to the ground during their fight]
Link Stuart: Do you think you can do that again?
Kuroda Jubei: Almost certainly.
[Link charges Kuroda several more times and every time Kuroda flips him on his back]
Link Stuart: [panting] Looks to me that you're getting tired. I'll tell you what. We'll call it a draw.

[while sleeping with Pepita, a loud noise awakens Link and he draws and cocks his pistol]
Pepita: Hey, do you always shoot your bed partner in the morning?
Link Stuart: Well, that depends on how good she was.
Pepita: Me?
Link Stuart: I'll let you live.
Pepita: Thanks.

Link Stuart: Much younger than me, too. Better looking. A helluva lot richer. I can't imagine what you see in him. When do you expect him?
Cristina: When he gets here.
Link Stuart: And when's that?
Cristina: When he feels like it.
Link Stuart: Oh, that shouldn't be too long, then, should it?
Cristina: If you want to know, its been 10 days. A long time for a man.

Link Stuart: I think you ought to get Christina ready.
Kuroda Jubie: All right.
Link Stuart: We'll be travelin' soon. Do you think you can handle her? Drag her out by the hair if you have to.

Link Stuart: If I remember right, you're a long ways from being a good cook. You get busy anyhow.
Cristina: Why should I? You get busy.
Link Stuart: You cook, you eat. I cook, you get whipped and go to bed hungry.
Cristina: The thing I like about you, Link, the older you get the sweeter you get too!

[during a train robbery]
Link Stuart: Now don't get scared or do anything stupid and you'll be all right. Just relax... and enjoy yourself.

[indicating Christina who is bound and gagged]
Link Stuart: Now you tell Gauche the gold and the Japanese sword in exchange for that.
[Christina splutters angrily into her gag]
Hyatt: That's why you didn't finish me off.
Link Stuart: Yeah, that's right. You tell him tomorrow noon at the old mission.
Link Stuart: [to Christina] What about you? You have any messages you want delivered?
[her gag renders Christina's curses unintelligible]
Link Stuart: Do you hear that? She says life won't be worth living until she sees him again. Do you think you can remember all that?
Hyatt: Yeah. And I'll remember to tell him to leave you for me.

Link Stuart: That's Cristina for you. You never know which gun she's gonna reach for.

Cristina: I'll help you with Gauche.
Link Stuart: I thought he cared for you. Give you all sorts of respect.
Cristina: But, he's not you. Nobody is. I'll go along with you. Anyway you want it.
Link Stuart: Is that so? Alright. Get your clothes off.

Cristina: You're a disgrace to your mother's wild pigs. When Gauche has finished with you, I pray to God that he sends you to Hell.
Link Stuart: Now, that's a very religious girl.
Cristina: You bastard.

Link Stuart: When the time comes, I'm going to have to beat it out of you. And that's all right too.
