- Kalmus: By the way, what brings you to Tonto?
- Tex Archer: Well...
- Duke Evans: We're-we're looking for work. Done some entertainin' in our time and folks say not bad... I'm considered the best mandolin picker in Arizona and Tex here, he hits mighty few sour notes on the vocal chords.
- Red Holman: That's your trouble, fella. You're meddlin' in the wrong business.
- Tex Archer: What do you mean?
- Red Holman: I mean, you're playing both ends from the middle and you can't do it around here. This place ain't big enough for you and me, so you better get rollin'.
- Tex Archer: And suppose I don't get rollin'?
- Red Holman: You will... 'cause I got you figured right. You're yellow!
- [Red punches Tex in the jaw, a barroom brawl ensues and Tex knocks Red out]
- Red Holman: I startin' something and I'm going to finish it - tonight! The sun will never rise on that hombre.
