Dick 'Deafy' Wickware : [to mob boss Loy Cannon] Should I tell you what I learned about the criminal mindset? By definition, the criminal rejects accountability, as their identity is based on getting away with things. Similarly, the criminal - you - rejects morality and ethics, for if there is a larger right, then the criminal himself is always wrong. And you don't strike me as the type of man who thinks himself wrong.
Loy Cannon : Rarely.
Dick 'Deafy' Wickware : So there goes morality out the window. But into that vacuum, what should rush but a code. A system of rules, mostly having to do with loyalty. And this way, the criminal detaches himself from the civilian world.
Loy Cannon : And yet, here I am. Family man. Community leader. Deacon in the church.
Dick 'Deafy' Wickware : [laughing] Oh, the criminal is capable of being all of those things. But it's a ruse. For though you claim to share the values of your... wife or preacher, the Lord knows it's a disguise. Ask me how I know for certain.
Loy Cannon : How do you know for certain?
Dick 'Deafy' Wickware : Would a family man trade his youngest son to his enemy in exchange for power and monetary gain?
Loy Cannon : You need to leave.
[Loy's henchman goes to draw his gun on the marshal]
Dick 'Deafy' Wickware : And so we circle back, inevitably, to your original statement - to wit I'm accountable for those ladies, murderers both, thieves and cheats. But now, since we both know the criminal is capable of love and loyalty only when it suits his own self-interest, I've come to make the following point. It don't. Not no more. In summation, boy, if you could sacrifice your youngest, like Isaac in the Holy Book, well, then giving up two strangers to keep the might of the federal government off your back... well, now, that should be as facile as breathing.
Loy Cannon : [laughing] I like you.

Dick 'Deafy' Wickware : We Mormons are very friendly people.
Loy Cannon : [shakes his head] No. Pretty unfriendly, really. But it's the way you're unfriendly. Like you're doing me a favor.

Loy Cannon : Would you like a drink?
Dick 'Deafy' Wickware : Thank you, no. For the Lord is my Shepherd, and as a wise man once said, "Alcohol is your friend - with a knife."
