Hang 'Em High Quotes

Clint Eastwood as Jed Cooper

• (Clint Eastwood) "Well, I don't care how you slice it; whether there's nine men out in the plains with a dirty rope or a judge with his robe on in front of the American flag; those boys are going to be just as dead as if they'd been lynched."
• (Judge Adam Fenton) "That's right, Cooper, just as dead; but they won't have been lynched. They would have been judged. And if you can't see the difference, you'd better take off that star right now."

Because if the law didn't hang them, the next posse that goes out will say, "Hang 'em and hang 'em high, there's no justice in Fort Grant." And if there's no justice in Fort Grant, Cooper, there will be no statehood for this territory."

James MacArthur as The Preacher

• (Francis Elroy Duffy, Prisoner) "Now Preacher?"
• (James MacArthur) "You may say your piece now."
• (Francis Elroy Duffy, Prisoner) "You're now looking, for the last time, at the mortal body of Francis Elroy Duffy, born to John and Edna Duffy, good, God-fearing folk. Who raised me up to be a good man and a good Christian, and I was a good Christian, a good husband to my beloved wife, good father to my children, who I leave behind, hoping that they, and all you, will learn this here lesson which I leave you with. When you take the devil into your mouth, you're doomed. For he is lying there in wait for you inside that bottle of whiskey. Waiting for you to take him into your mouth. Waiting to get down into your guts where he can do his devil's work. Liquor is the most foul, evil thing in this here world. It destroyed good men like myself. It'll destroy you too. Beer is not much better; it's slower, cheaper. So take these words of advice. And remember, you heard them from a poor sinner, got no more cause to lie, 'cause he's going to meet his Maker. Now he's ready. Well that's all I've got to say."

Dennis Hopper as The Prophet

• (Dennis Hopper) "They've come to kill the Prophet."
