- Dora Kendall: Now Joe Latigo's father and some of his friends will be after you. And so will every other gunman looking to make a quick reputation. It's one big game. Like a turkey shoot. That's all a sheriff is in this town, just target practice.
- Jason McCord: As for your children, Silverton can look forward to a fine crop of quick-draw killers. When he's old enough for a real gun, maybe he'll kill most of those kids. Then he'll wait around until someone with a faster gun kills him.
- Jason McCord: I'm trying to teach them respect for the law. The law says that before a man dies, at least he gets a trial. These two-bit gunmen are setting themselves up as judge and jury! Now look... if that's the way you want it, you can have this badge. And this town.
- Wes Trent: If you're a friend of Dave Baker's, that's mighty good recommendation to be Sheriff here.
- Deputy Bill Tomlin: Wait a minute, Mr Trent. I'm next in line for that job.
- Wes Trent: You stood in line too long when you were called out, Bill, and you missed our chance. What about it, mister?
- Jason McCord: You'd pin a badge on a man you just met?
- Joe Latigo: Sheriff shouldn't have tried to outlaw me. Deputy? You wanna try your luck?
- Dora Kendall: You know he doesn't have a chance against you. But I do.
- Bud Lee: Sheriff, your stinky reputation has given this town a stinking reputation. Either you get out, or do we throw you out? You got my gun but I figure I don't need one to take care of a yellowtail like you.
- [Jason punches him]
- Bud Lee: Did you see that? A Sunday punch! There's nothing as yellow as a Sunday punch!
