Dallas (1950)

Reed Hadley: Wild Bill Hickok

Quotes 

• U.S. Marshal Martin Weatherby : Now these are orders, Mr. Hickok. Your patriotic duty demands that...

  Wild Bill Hickok : Sonny, there are duty scars all over my hide. From now on, folks are going to buy tickets just to look at 'em on a stage in a theater.

  U.S. Marshal Martin Weatherby : You mean you're going to be an actor?

  Wild Bill Hickok : Why not? You're what marshaling has petered down to.

• Wild Bill Hickok : Marshal, I'm glad I met you while you were still with us. You're going to be the shortest lived marshal on record.

• U.S. Marshal Martin Weatherby : But Marshal! This - this outlaw; if you don't arrest him, I shall!

  Wild Bill Hickok : Outlaw? Let me tell you something, son. This ain't Boston. We had a war down here and you'll find men in high offices who are thieves and cutthroats. You'll find others who are branded outlaws that are only fighting for what's their own. There's those known as bad men and those as are bad men. You better learn to tell the difference!
