Quotes 

• Johnny : There's nothin' like a good smoke and a cuppa' coffee. You know, some men got the craving for gold and silver. Others need lotsa' land, with herds of cattle. And then there's those that got the weakness for whiskey, and for women. When you boil it all down, what does a man really need? Just a smoke and a cup of coffee.

  Marshal Williams : And who are you?

  Johnny : The name, sir, is Johnny Guitar.

  Dancin' Kid : [Scornfully]  That's no name!

  Johnny : [Cooly]  Anybody care to change it?

  Vienna : I hired you to play the guitar, not insult my customers.

  Johnny : Well, if these are your customers, I'm not so sure I'll take this job.

  Vienna : That's pretty strong talk for a man who doesn't wear a gun.

• Marshal Williams : [the posse has come to Vienna's, demanding the whereabouts of the Dancin' Kid's gang]  We came for the Kid and his bunch.

  Vienna : [Calmly sitting and playing the piano]  That's what you said yesterday.

  Marshal Williams : We came for you too, Vienna.

  Vienna : [Still playing the piano, unperturbed]  Why? I had nothing to do with robbing the bank. Every man here knows that. I don't have to hold up banks. All I have to do is sit here and wait for the railroad to come through. And that is my intention.

• Marshal Williams : We got enough trouble, Vienna. Don't you give us none.

  Vienna : The only trouble we have here is what you've brought in.

• Marshal Williams : I'm taking Vienna and Turkey to town.
