- [first lines]
- [looking at his pocket watch]
- 'Red' Davidson: Silver, I guess we better headin' for that meetin'.
- 'Red' Davidson: Have you located Scotty McKee's killer yet?
- 'Silent' Slade: Not so's I can prove it.
- 'Red' Davidson: You know his name ends with N and he smokes marijuana
- 'Silent' Slade: I know the clothes fit Breen all right, but it's another thing to make him wear 'em.
- [Red and Johnny survive an accidental ambush by Marie Maxwell and Joan McKee]
- Johnny Snow: Jiminy crickets!
- 'Red' Davidson: Are you hurt, Johnny?
- Johnny Snow: My pride's hurt plenty.
- 'Red' Davidson: If it's only your pride, you'll recover.
- Jim Breen: What about Maxwell? Did you get him?
- Joe Portos: Well, you see, this redhead... .
- Jim Breen: Alright, never mind. You start that way, I know exactly what you're going to say.
- Joe Portos: So, why don't you go after him yourself? I always notice you send somebody else.
- Jim Breen: You're hinting I'm afraid of him, huh?
- Joe Portos: No... Just careful.
- 'Red' Davidson: And when we found him, he'd been shot in the back.
- Robert Maxwell: You mean murdered?
- 'Red' Davidson: Never saw a man committing suicide by shooting himself in the back.
- Marie Maxwell: You don't like women, do you?
- 'Red' Davidson: Oh, I guess so. Soapy Caswell used to back in Montana, "Women are like liquor - a little bit's good for ya, too much gives you a headache."
- Marie Maxwell: Well, I guess women might say the same thing about men.
- 'Red' Davidson: Sure, why not. I don't see what women see in men anyway.
- Marie Maxwell: I wonder.
- 'Red' Davidson: You know if a woman was so foolish to fall in love with me, why I'd buy her a sack of nuts, and show 'em a big tree and tell her to enjoy herself.
- Marie Maxwell: You know you don't mean that.
- Johnny Snow: Got an answer to your telegram.
- 'Red' Davidson: You read it.
- Johnny Snow: [indignately] Maybe you think I can't.
- Johnny Snow: [toasting] Here's to ya, old timer. May your biggest problems be little ones.
- 'Red' Davidson: [clinking glasses] Idiot.
- [both laugh]
- Sheriff Campbell: Did you help Slade elude the posse?
- 'Red' Davidson: He was my friend.
- Sheriff Campbell: But a murderer nevertheless.
- 'Red' Davidson: No, a victim of circumstantial evidence. They had a new prosecuting attorney up there that was out to make a record. Won his case and I was to be the executioner.
- Sheriff Campbell: You?
- 'Red' Davidson: Yeah, you see I was the sheriff of Sun Dog at the time. That's where Scotty McKee was killed and they convicted Slade - and I turned him loose.
- Sheriff Campbell: Well, by gosh. Wasn't that a funny thing for a sheriff to do?
- 'Red' Davidson: I was a funny sheriff, I guess.
- [reading the telegram]
- Johnny Snow: "Wiring plenty transportation, but you'll have to use your own authority."
- 'Red' Davidson: What's that?
- Johnny Snow: Wait. "Soapy said you'd do it. Next time you resign as sheriff of Sundog, don't forget to sign your name. - Harp Harris, Acting Sheriff".
- [last lines]
- 'Red' Davidson: Gee, that still makes me sheriff of Sun Dog. I'm awfully sorry, Marie, I didn't know that or I wouldn't have asked you to marry me.
- Marie Maxwell: It's too late to back out now. I'll sue you.
- Robert Maxwell: I was figuring on giving you half of this ranch as a wedding present and we could run it on a partnership basis
- [the Abel Brothers are guzzling liquor out of the punch bowl and Silent steps forward to 'chastise' them]
- 'Red' Davidson: Hey, hey. After the wedding.
- Sheriff Campbell: You're from Montana, ain't ya?
- 'Red' Davidson: Yeah.
- Sheriff Campbell: You know Slade up there.
- 'Red' Davidson: Yeah.
- Sheriff Campbell: Did you know he escaped from jail?
- 'Red' Davidson: Yeah.
- Sheriff Campbell: Did you help him escape?
- 'Red' Davidson: Yeah.
- Sheriff Campbell: Then Breen was right.
- 'Red' Davidson: Doesn't seem possible.
- [discussing Breen]
- 'Red' Davidson: Will you lock him up, Sheriff, till I need him? I gotta telegraph Sundog for authority and transportation.
- Sheriff Campbell: If you don't convict him, send him back to me and I will. I'll give you a warrant before you go.
- 'Red' Davidson: Don't figure on seeing him again. His plea of self-defense won't hold water.
- Sheriff Campbell: How's that?
- 'Red' Davidson: Scotty McKee was shot in the back.
- [Red and Marie find Robert Maxwell bound and gagged in a closet]
- 'Red' Davidson: Bet this is some of Breen's work.
- 'Red' Davidson: [entering the room with his pistol drawn] Keep your hands in the clear! You win that bet, Redhead, but you lose the diamonds.
- Joe Portos: Alone?
- Jim Breen: Yeah, the boys are out looking for Slade.
- Joe Portos: Yeah, I hear he get away.
- Jim Breen: I had $5000 right in my hand and that dumb sheriff let him get away.
- Joe Portos: Tough luck. Always you are losing something. First you lose the money, then the diamond. Maybe someday, you lose your life, quién sabe.
- Johnny Snow: I'll have a snort of good ol' Redeye. What'll you have, Red?
- 'Red' Davidson: Oh, some good ol' aqua pura.
- Bartender: We ain't got no fancy drinks.
- 'Red' Davidson: Well, then give us a little clean water, will ya?
- Al Abel, Portos Henchman: [Chapter: 12: Silent Slade shoots the hat off Bill Abel, Portos henchman] Hey! My brother he is shoot!
- Joe Portos: Where?
- Al Abel, Portos Henchman: In dee head!
- Joe Portos: Then he ain't hurt!
