• Preacher Jason : That man is a creature of hell. If he stays here, he'll turn this town into a hell.

  Marshal Allan Burnett : But he can't do it alone. Our problem is to keep him from stampeding us into helping him.

• Judge John J. McLean : What happened out there?

  Marshal Allan Burnett : The law got itself done.

• Preacher Jason : The wrath of the Lord must move through his servants. Evil has come to us and it must be driven out.

  Marshal Allan Burnett : Crowds can get unruly, Preacher. Our common problem is a matter for the law.

  Preacher Jason : You're the law! And since you do nothing, I must!

  Marshal Allan Burnett : If you don't respect the cloth you're wearing, I won't either. You're inciting a lynch mob and I've got to stop you.

  Preacher Jason : If you're accusing me of hiding behind the cloth, I'm out front now. This morning, Marshal, I was all fired up about performing a wedding over you. Now if you make one move to stop us, I'm going to have to perform something else.

• Marshal Allan Burnett : You don't belong. There's no place for your...

  Jagade : You can save the rest of that speech, I've heard it. There's no place for your kind. Civilization has come to the west. The good people! They made all the rules.

• Vanryzin : Allan, you got to get back to the church at once! Preacher Jason is steaming up the crowd about Mr. Jagade. There's talk about burning him out.

  Marshal Allan Burnett : Well, isn't that just what you want?

  Vanryzin : Are you crazy? They want to burn down "The Silver Bell".

  Marshal Allan Burnett : Well?

  Vanryzin : I own the building!

  Marshal Allan Burnett : And that's what makes it illegal, doesn't it?
