Quotes
-
Sally Snow : Last month, the James boys held up a train outside of Liberty. They took an army payroll, they shot the paymaster, killed the conductor. One of the bandits was hit.
Yancy Derringer : I don't see how Wayne got mixed up in that.
Sally Snow : Someone tipped off the sheriff that Wayne was mixed up in it. They found him at home, wounded, with part of the payroll.
Yancy Derringer : Well, how did Wayne get the gunshot wound and the payroll?
Sally Snow : Part of the payroll - a very small part... planted, of course.
Yancy Derringer : You said you knew who planted it.
Sally Snow : I do. It was Jesse James.
Colorado Charlie : That sounds like Jesse all right. He can be the friendliest; he can be the meanest.
-
Colorado Charlie : Yance, we got us a nervous clock watcher on board.
Sally Snow : Jesse has spies everywhere. He knows you're coming to help.
Yancy Derringer : That's what you meant by danger?
Colorado Charlie : Yance, the train's slowin' down.

Sheriff Peterson : I figure you've come to Liberty to see the hangin', Mr. Derringer.
Yancy Derringer : Not at all - I've come to stop it.
-
Sheriff Peterson : Are you going to bust him out?
Yancy Derringer : No. I thought I'd replace him with the real killer.
Ike Melton : Who might that be?
Yancy Derringer : Jesse James.
-
Ike Melton : You're mighty lucky we're not out in Nevada. I'da drawn on you.
Yancy Derringer : You'd have died trying.
-
Wayne Raven : Yancy, first I've got to tell you - I didn't do it. I'm innocent.
Yancy Derringer : Well, I figured that.
Wayne Raven : Outside of Sally, you're the first one who believes.
Yancy Derringer : Wayne, it's not a question of faith, it's a question of facts.
-
Wayne Raven : Yancy, have I got a chance?
Yancy Derringer : Even money.
-
Colorado Charlie : Yancy, this town is scared. There ain't nobody gonna take a deep breath until that Raven boy's heels is kickin' six feet off the ground tomorrow morning.
Yancy Derringer : Nobody's gonna take a deep breath for a long time.

Yancy Derringer : Marshal, this grizzly old bear's Colorado Charlie.
Ike Melton : Howdy.
Yancy Derringer : Marshal, this man's a friend of yours.
Ike Melton : Who are you talkin' about? I never saw him before in my life.
Colorado Charlie : Well, you ain't exactly tellin' the truth, friend.
Yancy Derringer : Well, Charlie, he says that he's Marshal Ike Milton, Virginia City, Nevada.
Colorado Charlie : Does he?
Ike Melton : That's the handle, friend.
Colorado Charlie : Hmm. Now that's funny - last time I bumped up with Ike in the Paiute country, he was older, he was bigger, he was stronger and he was smarter.
-
Ike Melton : Derringer, your friend here's gonna get it!
Yancy Derringer : He just said you weren't Ike Milton, that's all.
Colorado Charlie : That's all.
Ike Melton : Then who am I?
Colorado Charlie : You're Frank James... Jesse's brother.

Sally Snow : Yancy, there's no possible way we can ever thank you.
Yancy Derringer : Of course there is. Wayne thanked me back at Cold Harbor a long time ago.
Sally Snow : How can I thank you?
Yancy Derringer : Name the first one after me.
