Mark Rowley
- Doc Grant: You'll find the people in Quinto a pretty decent lot on the whole.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: Tha doesn't square with what I've seen so far.
- Doc Grant: Oh, it ain't that bad. Men that put away their guns can't argue with the men that still carry them.
- Henryette Alcott: I'd advise you to remove that star.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: Well, thanks, but I think I can take care of myself.
- Henryette Alcott: The life expectancy of a sheriff can be very short in Quinto.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: Johnny, if you were an outlaw camped down there on the creek and saw a posse coming up behind you, what would you do.
- Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley: I'd head up this cut to open country where a man could use a fresh horse.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: Right! Now, as a deputy sheriff who's figured out the outlaw's next move.
- Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley: I'd sneak up behind those trees.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: Right!
- Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley: And pump lead into 'em as they come up.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: Wrong! A good officer don't kill except in self-defense. The saw says every man has a right to a fair trial.
- Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley: Outlaws? Train robbers?
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: And even murderers. No man's guilty until he's convicted. So try to take your man alive.
- Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley: But what if he shows fight?
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: That's different! Shoot and don't miss!
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: I, uh, see that you've been made the favorite.
- Belle Starr: Oh, it's not me. It's my horse Beauty, He's everybody's favorite.
- Henryette Alcott: Of course, good luck.
- Belle Starr: Wanna make a little side bet with me, Sheriff?
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: What f'rinstance?
- Belle Starr: Oh, money, or marbles... or moonlight.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: [Turning his head] Suppose we just make it a dollar and a half.
- [Tips his hat and leaves]
- Henryette Alcott: I'm trying to bring some order because I want schools, ranches, churches, hospitals, a courthouse, and a flag. Is there anything wrong with that?
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: Nothing except the way you're goin' about it, You may start a local revolution. You can't clean up Quinto with printer's ink, and you can't do it alone.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: [as Jesse is saddlig up] Well, I hope we meet again.
- Jesse James: [Smiling] I don't. So long, Rowley.
- Sheriff Mark Rowley: So long.
