13* InTheBack: Billy Ray has this exchange with grizzled gunslinger Van Leek.
14-->'''Billy Ray:''' You just shot that man in the back!\
15'''Van Leek:''' His back was to me.
16** Later, it gets an IronicEcho when Billy Ray does it to the eponymous BigBad, as Van Leek gives the line, and Billy Ray Shrugs and replies as Van Leek did earlier in the film. Van Leek chuckles.
