The Spikes Gang Quotes

Lee Marvin as Harry Spikes

  • (Lee Marvin) "They keep the money in back in the vault. They keep some money in the drawer up front. It ain't much, but we'll take it to allay the cause."

God knows I could get a dozen better out of any saloon down the street. But you got some spirit, and you got some crawl. And where I come from, you harness a mule but you give a horse a chance to run. How would you boys like to throw in with me?"

  • (Lee Marvin) "Don't look so scared boys. Hell, look at me."
  • (Lee Marvin) "Vadalia -- Northfield -- Jonesboro -- Elysian Township -- Marysville -- Gallatin. Oh, I ducked a little late a few times, but I'm still standin'. The thing to do, my friends, is to admit to your fate with Christian resignation and live bravely until your appointed time."

  • (Lee Marvin) "Took some from behind, I heard."
  • (Arthur Hunnicutt) "That's right, brother. If that's the way they were facing."
