Tom London: The Sheriff

Quotes 

• The Sheriff : Oh, I see. An old prospector was murdered - you didn't see who did it, but you tried to catch him. He rode away on a horse, but you have the horse... but you robbed a dead man's body and buried him, but it never occurred to you to report it to the law!

• [while Gene's friends break him out of jail, Pat provides a diversion] 

  Sidekicks Pat Buttram : Sheriff, there's a robber loose - a dangerous killer - the most dangerous killer since the James boys and he's loose right here in this town!

  The Sheriff : Well, who is he?

  Sidekicks Pat Buttram : It's me.

  The Sheriff : You?

  Sidekicks Pat Buttram : Yes! I've been on a rampage of crime - been robbin' and killin' for years. You gotta put me away, Sheriff. You gotta lock me up before I do somethin' serious!

• The Sheriff : Say, just when did you commit all these crimes?

  Sidekicks Pat Buttram : When? Why, all the time. Don't you read the papers? Ain't you never heard of Billy the Kid?

  Bearded Deputy : Aw, you're crazy! Billy the Kid's been dead for eighty years.

  Sidekicks Pat Buttram : Eighty years? I have? Hmmm, time sure flies don't it.
