The ones that made you laugh loudest, or that you're simply very fond of.

My top ten:

1: Jackson Two-Bears: Kid, Kid, what a time to fall off the wagon. Look at your eyes.
Kid Sheleen: What's wrong with my eyes?
Jackson Two-Bears: Well they're red, bloodshot.
Kid Sheleen: You ought to see 'em from my side

2: Jackson Two-Bears: He's a murderer, a hired killer. His nose was bit off in a fight.
Frankie Ballou: If I was gonna be scared, I'd be scared of the fella who bit it off, not him!

3: [after a drunken Kid Sheleen shoots at a target on the barn]
Clay Boone: He did it! He missed the barn!

4: Frankie Ballou: You'd like a drink better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stob, wouldn't you?

5: Clay Boone: I've never seen a man get through a day so fast

6: Frankie Ballou: Well now, there's a game for a sheriff - liar's poker. We got our unemployed off the street and made Wolf City safe all in one brilliant stroke.

7: Cat: [Looks at Frankie Ballou, lying in coffin]
Cat: Why is he smiling like that? My father never smiled like that in his whole life?
Cat: [looks in coffin again, apalled]
Undertaker: Well, he's going to smile like that forever, now. Courtesy of the Wolf City Development Company.

8: Jed: Ma'am, I can understand your objection to rustlin' - a girl with your background and gentle upbringing - but it's the only way we can raise money.
Cat: No it's not.
Clay Boone: Well, what do you think we ought to do that's fittin' and proper?
Cat: Rob a train.
[Without reacting or missing a beat, Clay continues to discuss the details of his rustling scheme]

9: Kid Sheleen: That right, mister? [shoots off the train messenger's hat]
Messenger: [rattles off safe combinations]

10: Frankie Ballou: I say Shalom Aleichem to you and you don't know nothing. Suddenly you're a mine of information.
