“I will pay two hundred and twenty-five dollars and keep the grey...” – Col. Stonehill, True Grit ... Movie Quotes Database

Col. Stonehill

I will pay two hundred and twenty-five dollars and keep the grey horse. I don't want the ponies.

Mattie Ross

I cannot accept that. There will be no settlement after I leave this office. It will go to Law.

Col. Stonehill

[interjecting]

Alright, this is my last offer: two hundred and fifty dollars; for that, I get the release previously discussed and I keep your father's saddle. The grey horse is not yours to sell!

Mattie Ross

The saddle is not for sale, I will keep it. Lawyer Dagget will prove ownership of the grey horse, he will come after you with a writ of replevin.
