Ned Logan: Hell, Will. We ain't bad men no more. Shit, we're farmers. Will Munny: Should be easy killing them, supposing they don't go on down to Texas first. Ned Logan: How long has it been since you fired a gun at a man, Will? Nine, ten years? Will Munny: Eleven. Ned Logan: Easy, huh? Hell, I don't know that it was all that easy even back then. And we was young and full of beans. I mean, if you was mad at 'em, Will, I mean. If they'd done you some wrong, I could see shooting 'em. Will Munny: We done stuff for money before, Ned. Ned Logan: Yeah, we thought we did. All right, so what did these fellas do? Cheat at cards? Steal some strays? Spit on a rich fella? What? Will Munny: No, they cut up a woman. Ned Logan: What? Will Munny: Yeah, they cut up her face, cut her eyes out, cut her fingers off, cut her tits, everything but her cunty, I suppose. Ned Logan: I'll be dogg - Golly, I guess they got it comin'. 'Course, you know, Will, if Claudia was alive you wouldn't be doin' this. and Will Munny: Who's the fellow owns this shithole? (pause) Will Munny: You, fat man. Speak up. Dubois: Uh, I... I own this establishment. I bought the place from Greeley for a thousand dollars. (Will levels the shotgun, and speaks to someone standing behind Dubois) Will Munny: You better clear outta there. Man: Yes, sir. (scampers out of the way) Little Bill Daggett: Just hold it right there. Hold it...! (Will shoots Dubois. Screaming, the women scatter upstairs) Little Bill Daggett: Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man! Will Munny: Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend. And the best line from Clint. The Schofield Kid: It don't seem real... how he ain't gonna never breathe again, ever... how he's dead. And the other one too. All on account of pulling a trigger. Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid. However, regardless of all those things, I believe in forgiveness and love. I really think that is the better way. Better to be kind and show love. Compassion defeats evil, not joining it by using its means. But that just leads me back to this quote. Will Munny: I ain't like that no more. I ain't the same, Ned. Claudia, she straightened me up, cleared me of drinkin' whiskey and all. Ned, you remember that drover I shot through the mouth and his teeth came out the back of his head? I think about him now and again. :shrug: I disagree with just about everything in that movie, yet I understand it, even if it is sad. Holding that in ones mind I think is part of the paradox.
