Timothy Scott: Caleb Rice

Quotes 

  • Caleb Rice : A thousand dollars is a lot of money for fellas like you and me. Fellas like Doc Borgardus... that just pays for the whiskey. He didn't ride all the way for a piddlin' thousand dollars... Side bets. The money's in side bets.

    Hugh Cardiff : Yeah?

    Caleb Rice : How much money have you got?

    Hugh Cardiff : Some.

    Caleb Rice : I figure to be gettin' about 20 to 1 odds, so put your money on Caleb Rice. That's the side bets I was talkin' about.

    Hugh Cardiff : If I do any bettin' I'll be bettin' on myself.

  • [Hugh, Doc and Caleb are spinning yarns for Bob Halburton, a writer of western dime novels] 

    Hugh Cardiff : Bob, I recall the time that me and Caleb here was carryin' dispatches for an...

    Doc Bogardus : That was, ah, Phil Sheridan, I recall.

    Hugh Cardiff : Yeah, General Phil Sheridan. We was crossin' through some hostile Indian country and we got jumped by a band of forty Cheyenne.

    Caleb Rice : And thirty Arapaho and two Ute.

    Hugh Cardiff : And old Caleb here, he took care of thirteen of them Cheyenne with those two pistols you see hanging right there in that belt. And understand, Bob, he only fired twelve shots - now one of 'em went through two of those Indians and killed 'em both.

    Caleb Rice : It had probably gone on and killed another one, except there weren't any more left. We had killed them all by that time.

  • Robert W. 'Bob' Halburton : The point is you two are the most startling commodity to hit the world since Mr. Judson's book on Hickok and Cody. You are certified celebrities now. The Cardiff/Rose books are out-selling all the other dime novels five to one. People are going to pay handsomely to see you take on the best shooters in the country.

    Caleb Rice : Not to mention the side bets.

    Hugh Cardiff : Caleb, you ought to quit while you're behind.
