Ranger Clint Travis
- Ranger Clint Travis: The sign outside says you need rangers. I want to join up.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: Why?
- Ranger Clint Travis: I had a little spread near Grainger and I went broke. I need a job.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: You can find an easier one - being a ranger isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes you're in the saddle for 48 hours, no sleep, bad food; picked on by unhappy citizens and shot at by outlaws. You furnish your own horse, arms and equipment. The enlistement is for four years and the pay is 50 dollars a month.
- Ranger Clint Travis: Inspite of that recommendation, I'll take it. My name's Clint Travis.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: There are four major requirements - honesty, horsemanship, a fast gun and the nerve to enforce the law without fear or prejudice.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: Don't ever pull your gun again unless you use it.
- Ranger Clint Travis: B-But I've never drawn on a man before. I couldn't pull the trigger.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: Yeah, I know. It happens that way sometimes. You'll get over it.
- Ranger Clint Travis: But the thought of killing a man...
- Capt. Tom Rynning: You don't always have to. If a man's mounted, smash an elbow; if he's on a foot a bullet in the shoulder will knock him down and you can disarm him... but don't ever fight with your fists - you could cripple your gun hand. Then every two-bit gunslinger would shoot at you and you wouldn't have a chance.

- Capt. Tom Rynning: It never ends, Corporal. Apaches on the warpath, riots at the Great Western Copper Mine, raids on the cattlemen near Bisbee... Travis, how soon can you be ready to travel again?
- Ranger Clint Travis: In about thirty minutes.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: Good. Get your horse ready. The corporal will have your orders ready by that time.
- Ranger Clint Travis: Yes, sir.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: Yes...?
- Ranger Clint Travis: ...captain.
- Capt. Tom Rynning: Travis... good luck.
- Ranger Clint Travis: Thank you, Captain.
