[Potter is getting ready to go and join the posse who have gone after the stage robbers]
Alex Potter, town drunk : Ain't cha gonna help catch 'em?
Ben Wade : Ah, wish I could.
Alex Potter, town drunk : What'd they look like?
Ben Wade : Oh, they'll be easy to catch. That's three big men on three white horses.
Alex Potter, town drunk : [as he starts to ride off] Three white fellas... on three big horses, huh?

Bisbee Marshal : Alex, have you been drinking this morning or not?
Alex Potter, town drunk : Marshal, you know I never touch a drop until the stroke of noon.

Bisbee Marshal : Now the way I figure it, the faster we get him out of here, the safer.
Alex Potter, town drunk : That's right! We'll outsmart 'em every step! We'll outsmart 'em!
Bisbee Marshal : We only got two, three hours head start. They'll probably figure we're going to take him to Fort Huachuca and turn him in there.
Alex Potter, town drunk : Sure they will!
Bisbee Marshal : And if they don't figure that, they'll figure we've taken him to Benson.
Alex Potter, town drunk : That's a fact!
Bisbee Marshal : And if they don't figure that, then they'll figure we've taken him to Contention City and put him on the 3:10 to Yuma.
