Did you know

- Quotes
Joe: Vanderman, let me see now, say I've... .Vander -- oh, he was cheating at a card game in the Long Branch last night.
Matt Dillon: That's right.
Joe: And you want me to give him a job here?
Matt Dillon: That's right.
Joe: Well, you're clean out of your mind, Marshall. Why you should have run him out of town, throwed him into jail.
Matt Dillon: Now, just wait a minute, Joe. This man's not really a crook, he's just had a few bad breaks along the line. Why don't you give him a chance?
Joe: How do I know he can cook?
Matt Dillon: Well, he says he can, why don't you give him a chance? What do you got to lose?
Joe: Hmph, only my restaurant, maybe. If he takes a notion to sell it while my back is turned.
Chester: Well, I don't think you got a thing to worry about, Joe. I don't think nobody'd buy it once they see your cockroaches.
Joe: I've got no more cockroaches here than anybody else in Dodge.
Chester: Well, they're bigger.
Joe: That's 'cause the food here's better.
- Crazy creditsThe Edward Vanderman character is billed as "Eddie" but always referred to as "Edward" during program.
Suspense comes from how Matt will deal with outlaw brother, and how these two story strands will finally merge. They do, and in a rather predictable way. Shakespeare spouting thespians were always an interesting mix amidst the ruffians of a frontier town. This episode could have used more of that promising mix and less of the hoary outlaw subplot, especially when the brother, Stanley Clements, sounds as though he's just stepped off the mean streets of Brooklyn.
