- Marshal Simon Fry: For three weeks I'd been riding hard on a trail of hold-ups and murders. The next few minutes would bring me to the end of it and face-to-face with one of the most vicious outlaws the territory had ever known.
- Marshal Simon Fry: You're under arrest, Sally.
- Sally Tornado: Where are you going to take me?
- Marshal Simon Fry: Prescott to stand trial.
- Sally Tornado: I'll get a dress on. A gentleman would turn his back.
- Marshal Simon Fry: I'd rather stay alive than be a gentleman.
- [Simon grabs Sally's derringer before she can pull the trigger]
- Marshal Simon Fry: No wonder they named you "Sally Tornando".
- Clay McCord: I was raised in an orphanage along with a lot of other kids without a name. Sally Tornado - you know how I got that name? By fightin'! I was a scrawny little kid, so I didn't get enough to eat until I was twelve. I used to fight everything and everybody. It took me a long time to figure how to get things in this world.
- Sally Tornado: By stealin' and killin'?
- Clay McCord: That's better than askin' for it and havin' people say "No".

- Clay McCord: Hope you ain't too disappointed about her missin' the hangin'.
- Marshal Simon Fry: Can't say I am.
- Clay McCord: 'Cause if you wanted her to be there for sure you could have taken her yourself.
- Marshal Simon Fry: I had to go to Tucson.
- Clay McCord: Yeah.
- Marshal Simon Fry: I didn't want to see her hang any more than you did, Clay. I went to Tucson to plead with the Territorial Commissioner. I asked him to spare her life.
- Clay McCord: What'd he say?
- Marshal Simon Fry: Commutation was granted. Sentence was changed to life imprisonment. So, you see, she wouldn't have hanged anyway.
- Clay McCord: Still, it's better this way, Simon. Sally Tornado locked up in prison for the rest of her life... she'd have died more than once. It's better this way - a lot better.
