- Maria Stoner: Sheriff?
- Sheriff July Johnson: My friends call me, Ju-ly, ma'am. I wish you were one. Well, I tell you what ma'am, I'll be your friend and you just don't bother about bein' mine.
- Sheriff July Johnson: I'm a different kind of Sheriff than you been used to.
- Dee Bishop: What's that supposed to mean?
- Sheriff July Johnson: It means you can't beg, borrow, steal, buy, break or pray your way out of my jail.
- Sheriff July Johnson: [Has spirited Maria away from the main group and brings her to a place where she will sleep alone] This isn't much but it's the best I could find. You'll be safe here.
- Maria Stoner: I was not worried about my safety.
- Sheriff July Johnson: You don't have to be with them Bishops now.
- Maria Stoner: You know... I like them.
- Sheriff July Johnson: Beg your pardon ma'am?
- Maria Stoner: [Sitting down on the cot] I said, I like them. Both of them.
- Sheriff July Johnson: [Visibly dejected, July turns to leave but then turns around and takes off his hat and with a hopeful smile addresses Maria] I'd like to talk to you about something Maria.
- Maria Stoner: You have ridden a long way for nothing July if you have come for me.
- Sheriff July Johnson: Look, I'm stable.
- Maria Stoner: I know!
- Sheriff July Johnson: And I'm reliable.
- Maria Stoner: [Trying to be kind] I know July, but don't you understand...
- Sheriff July Johnson: Roscoe told me that just 'cause I like you, you don't have to like me back and that's the truth but... .
- [Maria stands up and walks away turning her back to July]
- Sheriff July Johnson: [Noticeably defeated] What are you looking for ma'am?
- Maria Stoner: Nothing
- [turns around facing him]
- Maria Stoner: . I have found it.
