Quotes
-
[first lines]
Johnny Dean : I'm not wearing a gun, Crawford.
-
Johnny Dean : My eyes are giving me no trouble, Crawford.
Dan Crawford : I'm glad to hear it. Nobody ever got a reputation killin' a blind man.
Johnny Dean : Crawford, I'm tired of tellin' you I won't fight. I give you my reputation.
Dan Crawford : You can't give it! A reputation like that's got to be earned... and I want my chance at it, same as a long time ago Billy Burress gave you yours.
Johnny Dean : My answer to you... the same as it was in Tombstone and Fort Jefferson. Now why don't you let me be?
Dan Crawford : Because you're Johnny Dean, the fastest gun in the whole territory... until I prove I'm faster.
Johnny Dean : Son, I'm never going to give you that chance.
-
Dan Crawford : How long can you keep runnin'?
Johnny Dean : Till you figure that I'm not worth killin'.

Johnny Dean : Simon Fry? Is he in town?
Deputy Clay McCord : Rode in a while ago. I told him your name was Enright, but he said the description fit a gunfighter named Johnny Dean.
Johnny Dean : No it doesn't, Deputy. I used to be a gunslinger.
Deputy Clay McCord : What happened? Eyes go bad? Hands start to shake?
Johnny Dean : Let's just call it a loss of appetite.
-
Deputy Clay McCord : How come you keep runnin'?
Johnny Dean : How many men have you killed?
Deputy Clay McCord : More than I like to remember.
Johnny Dean : Sooner or later you can forget... maybe they deserved killin'; maybe it's part of your job. What excuse can I use?
-
Deputy Clay McCord : Now you're runnin' from yourself.
Johnny Dean : Unh-uh. Johnny Dean - there's a difference.
Deputy Clay McCord : You plannin' to settle in Silver City?
Johnny Dean : Well, I'd like to.
Deputy Clay McCord : It's a peaceful town, Johnny.
Johnny Dean : Deputy, Roger Enright is a peaceful man.

Deputy Clay McCord : Don't blame yourself for every bullet that's fired, Johnny.
Johnny Dean : No, but everyone else will blame me.

Johnny Dean : What do you expect to get by out drawin' him?
Dan Crawford : A chance at Johnny Dean.
Johnny Dean : So you kill Johnny Dean - what do you win? A label! And that label will be a target for every young punk comin' up, hoping to get a reputation for killin' you.
Burt Johnson : You talk too much.
Dan Crawford : That's a fact.
