[Rose straps on a six-shooter]

Marshal Rose Hood: I don't imagine a bank robber will change the rules just for me.

[discussing Cane's business]
Marshal Rose Hood: How long is it going to take?
Cane Miro: About five weeks.
Marshal Rose Hood: Make it five days.

Marshal Rose Hood: Oh, I keep an eye on suspicious characters.
Cane Miro: I'm a suspicious character.
Marshal Rose Hood: I think I'll assign Joshua to you. He takes care of drunks, mad dogs and smart saddle tramps.

Marshal Rose Hood: You may go to the red devil as far as I'm concerned.

Cane Miro: So you did. I should have listened to the fine print.
