Abilene Town (1946)

Edgar Buchanan: Sheriff 'Bravo' Trimble

Quotes 

• Chet Younger : You've been out looking for the man who stuck up the train?

  Sheriff Bravo Trimble : I figure I got more trail dust than he did dollars.

• Dan Mitchell : Now, Bravo, I thought we were old friends.

  Sheriff Bravo Trimble : We are, Dan, we are. But you got the idea that you ought to kick up a fuss about things that are going to happen anyway. I don't figure it that way. A man's got to live. Cows get lost, sometimes accidents happen and fellas get killed. Why get hot under the collar about I? And why go hunting for fellas that don't want to be found?

• Dan Mitchell : I understand you filed for reelection next fall, Bravo.

  Sheriff Bravo Trimble : Yeah, they talked me into it. I figured on opening up a saloon or maybe going back to practicing dentistry. But somebody has got to keep law and order in the county.

• [last lines] 

  Sheriff Bravo Trimble : Just one little game, Annie.

• Dan Mitchell : Give me your word you'll stay here.

  Sheriff Bravo Trimble : [thinking the homesteader he's playing fan-tan with is an easy mark]  Ever hear of a horse runnin' away from oats?
