- Jed Colby: Hiya, Rowdy.
- Rowdy Yates: What are you doing here?
- Jed Colby: Just thought I'd like a trip to Missouri.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, that's a dumb idea.
- Jed Colby: Yeah, isn't it. Anyway you're wanted back at the herd.
- Sheriff: Let him out.
- Rowdy Yates: You had nothing on me.
- Jed Colby: You're just one of his mistakes.
- Rowdy Yates: I didn't need you to correct it for me.
- Jed Colby: Maybe I just like to travel.
- Rowdy Yates: You haven't travelled yet, and you might not yet.
- Marshal Hanson Dickson: Get off that horse. Now drop your gun. Don't try anything, Carruthers.
- Sheriff: I'll take him to jail if you like, Marshal.
- Marshal Hanson Dickson: No, I told you before, Sheriff, I don't need any help. Any man I've ever gone after, I've brought by myself.
- Sheriff: He came in on his own free will to give himself up. Don't you think...
- Marshal Hanson Dickson: He's a wanted killer, Sheriff. You stay out of it. I'll handle him.
- Jed Colby: What he's saying is for you to look the other way, long enough so he can gun me down.
- Sheriff: Not in my town. You're giving yourself up, Mister?
- Marshal Hanson Dickson: All right, Carruthers. I'll tell you. Once. I've always been a lawman better than half of my life. Never made more than $40 in one month. Never had a place or money enough for a wife and family. I've got a half gimped leg from taking in the Balfour gang. And a silver plug here for bone
- [in my ear]
- Marshal Hanson Dickson: where I let a prisoner club me once, just once. Twenty-five years and nothing than that to show for it. Except for one thing. No man I took in got loose from me. Not one.
- Jed Colby: Except for me, is that it?
- Marshal Hanson Dickson: That's it. Not one, except for you.
- Jed Colby: You were right, Dickson. I wouldn't understand. What are you going to do when you go back? Tell them I confessed and tried to run away and you had to shoot me?
- Marshal Hanson Dickson: I've got the confession written out and you're going to sign it before you die.
