The Tall Man Quotes

Billy the Kid: How come a man that don't think no more of a gun than you do can shoot like that?
Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett: To a man wearing a badge, a gun is just a tool, but he has to know how to use it.
Billy the Kid: I think it means more than that to me. I don't know why. Maybe, it's because I'm not a big man - a lot of men are bigger and tougher than I am. This gun seems to somehow sort of even up everything.
Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett: I wish you didn't believe that, Billy.
