Utah Blaine
1957
(first lines) (a lynching party prepares to hang Joe Neal) Lud Fuller: This is far enough. Easy now. If it falls off, it'll be all over. A broken neck ain't gonna get you out of this fast, Neal. Hurry it up, Bud. It'll be light soon. It's a long way back. Joe Neal: You'll get yours, Lud. You'll get what's comin' to ya! Joe Neal: Ain't nothin' comin' to me, Joe, except a large hunk of the 46-Connected. Have a nice trip, Joe.
Angie Kinyon: You didn't tell me your name. Utah Blaine: That's right, I didn't.
Angie Kinyon: Are you out of your mind? You expect to hold out against Russ Nevers and his bunch all by yourself? Utah Blaine: That's what he's payin' me for. Angie Kinyon: Who in blue blazes are you? Utah Blaine: Blaine, Mike Blaine. Up in Alta, they started callin' me Utah.
Angie Kinyon: I wish I could say there are a lot of decent people out there you're fightin' for, but I can't. They're all land hungry; they're all greedy. All you can do is teach 'em a lesson... or get yourself killed. Not much to offer a man who gets paid for using his guns. Utah Blaine: No different anyplace. Everybody wants what he hasn't got, but it'll change. People will have to learn to live by the rules. Angie Kinyon: That won't bring my father back. It's lonely out where he is. It's even lonelier being alive.
Rink Witter: How'd you get out of that Mexican jail, Utah? Utah Blaine: I just told them I wanted to kill you. They let me out.
Utah Blaine: You ready? Rip Coker: Where we goin'? Utah Blaine: Could be any place. Rip Coker: That's somewhere I've never been.
(last lines) (Utah, Rip and the townsmen defeat the vigilantes in the climatic gunfight) Angie Kinyon: Oh, Utah. Are you alright? Utah Blaine: Yeah. I wanna go out and see what a town looks like when it grows up. Rip Coker: That's what this town's had - growin' pains. Now what are you going to do for excitement?
