Unforgiven - Confrontation in a Bar Establishment
Will Munny: [to Fatty]
Who's the fella owns this shithole? You, fat man, speak up.
Skinny Dubois:
Uh, I own this establishment. I bought the place from Greeley for a thousand dollars.
Will: [to the man behind Skinny]
You better clear out of there.
Man:
Yes, sir!
Little Bill Daggett: [Will shoots Skinny]
Just hold it right there. Hold it! Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!
Will:
Well, he should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.
Little Bill:
You'd be William Munny out of Missouri, killer of women and children.
Will: [to the men standing near Bill]
That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another, and I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned. You boys better move away.
Little Bill: [Will's trigger clicks]
All right, gentlemen, he's got one barrel left. When he fires that, take out your pistols and shoot him down like the mangy scoundrel he is! Misfire! kill the son of a bitch!

You go on. Keep it. I'm never gonna use it again. I don't kill nobody no more. I ain't like you, Will. Go on, keep it — all of it. It's yours.
Will Munny:
What about the spectacles and fancy clothes?
Kid:
I guess I'd rather be blind and ragged than dead.
Will:
You don't have to worry, kid. I ain't gonna kill you. You're the only friend I got.

Unforgiven - First Kill Discussion Between Characters
Schofield Kid:
Say, Will?
Will Munny:
Yeah?
Kid:
That was the first one.
Will:
First one what?
Kid:
First one I ever killed.
Will:
Yeah?
Kid:
You know how I said I shot five men? It weren't true. That Mexican who come at me with a knife? I just busted his leg with a shovel. I didn't kill him or nothin neither.
Will:
Well, you sure killed the hell outta that fella today.
Kid:
Hell yeah! I killed the hell out of him, didn't I? Three shots and he was takin a shit!
Will:
Take a drink, kid.
Kid:
Jesus Christ! It don't seem real. Guy ain't gonna never breathe again ever. Now he's dead, and the other one too, all on account of pullin a trigger.
Will:
It's a hell of a thing, killin a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
Kid:
Yeah. Well, I guess they had it comin'.
Will:
We all have it comin', kid.

Unforgiven - Payment and Consequences in Unforgiven
Delilah Fitzgerald:
Are you really going to kill them cowboys?
Will Munny:
I guess. There's still a payment comin', isn't there?
Delilah: [nods]
Them other two, your friends, they been takin advances on the payment.
Will:
Advances?
Delilah:
Free ones.
Will:
Free ones?
Delilah:
Alice and Silky been givin em free ones.
Will:
Oh, I see.
Delilah:
Would you like a free one?
Will:
No, I guess not.
Delilah:
I uh— I didn't mean with me. I meant Alice and Silky would be happy to give you a free one if you really wanted one, I guess. That's all I meant.
Will:
Oh, I didn't mean I didn't want a free one on account of you being cut up and all. What I said the other day about lookin like me, that ain't true. You ain't ugly like me. It's just that we both have got scars. But you're a beautiful woman and if I was to want a free one I'd want it with you, I guess, more than them other two. It's just that I can't on account of my wife.

Unforgiven - A Changed Man's Reluctant Return to Violence
Will Munny:
I ain't the same, Ned! Claudia, she straightened me up, cleared me of drinkin whiskey and all. Just cause we're goin on this killing, that don't mean I'm gonna go back to bein the way I was. I just need the money, get a new start for them youngsters.
Ned Logan:
Yeah.
Will:
Ned, remember that drover I shot through the mouth, teeth came out the back of his head?
Ned:
Yeah
Will:
I think about him now and again. He didn't do anything to deserve to get shot, at least not that I could remember when I sobered up.
Ned:
You was one crazy son of a bitch, Will.
Will:
Yeah, no one liked me. Mountain boys all thought I was gonna shoot em out of pure meanness.
Ned:
Well, you ain't like that no more.
Will:
Eagle, he hated my guts. Bonaparte didn't think too much of me either.
Ned:
Quincy neither.
Will:
Nah. Quincy used to just watch all the time, scared.
Ned:
Well, like I said, you ain't like that no more.
Will:
That's right. I'm just a fella now. I ain't no different than anyone else no more.

Hell, Will. We ain't bad men no more. Shit, we're farmers.

Should be easy killing them, supposing they don't go on down to Texas first.
Ned:
How long has it been since you fired a gun at a man, Will? Nine, ten years?
Will:
Eleven.
Ned:
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:
We done stuff for money before, Ned.
Ned:
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:
No, they cut up a woman.
Ned:
What?
Will:
Yeah, they cut up her face, cut her eyes out, cut her fingers off, cut her teats, everything but her cunny, I suppose.
Ned:
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.

Like I was saying, you don't look no meaner-than-hell, cold-blooded damn killer.
Will Munny:
Maybe I ain't.
Kid:
Yeah, well, Uncle Pete says you was the meanest goddamn son of a bitch alive, and if I ever wanted a partner for a killin', you were the worst one. Meaning the best, on account as you're as cold as the snow and you don't have no weak nerve nor fear.
Will:
Pete said that, huh?
Kid:
Yeah, yeah he did. I'm a damn killer myself, cept, uh, I ain't killed as many as you on account of my youth.
