• Allen Harper : [Trying to read his fiancee's letter, which is all crumpled]  Billy, you've got this thing so messed up I can't read it.

  Billy Burns : Would you like to know what it says?

  Allen Harper : Oh, you've been readin' it!

  Billy Burns : Oh, you and me ain't got no secrets from each other, do we?

  Allen Harper : Well, I hadn't planned on sharing my girl with you.

  Billy Burns : Mebbe not after you're married, eh? She wants you to go ridin' with 'er. I've got Red all saddled up ready to go!

  Allen Harper : Well, why didn't you say so? I've got to get dressed.

  Billy Burns : [as Allen is putting on a tie]  No, no, no! Not that one!

  Billy Burns : [Handing him another tie]  There you are!

  Allen Harper : [Looking at the die with distaste]  Why, that's too loud!

  Billy Burns : It's the one she give yuh fer yer birthday, ain't it? You ain't even wore it once. A woman don't shy a leetle might of color when she's bein' sparked.

  Allen Harper : Whatta you know about women?

  Billy Burns : Who me? Why I've had women from Arkansas to Zanzibar. No matter what they're thinkin' I'm jeest a jackrabbit hop ahead of 'em!

• Billy Burns : You think you got some pretty tough fellas over there in Dodge City. I guess you ain't never heard of Dry Gulch Curly have you? You see, old Brandyhead Jones, he was a United States Marshal, too. He done all the hanging over in our neighborhood. And this Dry Gulch I'm telling you about -- he was so tough that when Old Brandyhead hung him, his trigger finger kept jerking for two hours after he was dead.

• Billy Burns : [Pulling a wounded Larkin down from his horse]  Come on, get out of there! Deputy Burns is talkin'! Larkins, you're gonna get thirty days for that killin' and then we're gonna hang yuh!

  [the townsfolk laugh] 

• Allen Harper : [as they watch cowboys riding out of town]  I hope that's the last of them.

  Billy Burns : Well, it ain't. I'm bettin' before you know it, this town'll be hotter'n a two dollar pistol on the Fourth of July.

• Billy Burns : [to the men Masterson has locked up in jail]  You fellers ain't gonna be lonesome in there very long. Before Bat Masterson gets through with this town, this jail will be more populous than a hound dog with the fleas.
