Sheriff Bill Strode
- Flint McCullough: I've never seen you nervous.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: Just that I wouldn't want anybody to come sneaking up.
- Flint McCullough: Somebody looking for you?
- Sheriff Bill Strode: A lot of people would like to get Bill Strode.
- Flint McCullough: True. But how? I never saw you draw faster.
- Flint McCullough: You know. Who?
- Sheriff Bill Strode: Earl Packer.
- Flint McCullough: Earl Packer? What reason's a bounty hunter got to look for you?
- Sheriff Bill Strode: I didn't come here to answer questions.
- Flint McCullough: You gotta answer one. Why's Packer looking?
- Sheriff Bill Strode: I had Silver City clean. A lot of people didn't like it that way. Gamblers, land sharks, women. I had to get out or they would have railroaded me. There was some shooting. I killed one of them. Now there's a reward out for me. Hah. Funny, I've been a lawman all my life. I've got to be outlawed to be worth a reward.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: FLINT!
- Flint McCullough: I'm just going out to check the horses. Have bacon for breakfast.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: Sure?
- Flint McCullough: You don't think I'd run off and leave you, do ya?
- Charlie Wooster: By golly, Mr Strode, I'd sure like to shake the hand that shot down Joe Mensius.
- Bill Hawks: We've heard a lot about you.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: A lot of exaggeration.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: McCullough's told us about the time you saved his life in Abilene. Sometimes that's the only thing I got against you.
- Charlie Wooster: Just happened to be on the right spot at the right time.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: How many men have you killed, Flint?
- Flint McCullough: Oh, some. But killing's not my job.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: Sometimes I can almost see them. Every one of them. A hole where the second button ought to be. You can get tired of everything. But killing, we're not supposed to kill each other.
- Flint McCullough: Sometimes you got no other choice.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: Always got a choice.
- Flint McCullough: Yeah, sure. Him or you.
- Earl Packer: The girl he murdered was a Dutchie. You know what he done? He sent word to Europe that he had good jobs for Dutchie girls who wanted husbands and wee fine homes, that's what he called those dancehalls they went to work in.
- Sheriff Bill Strode: That wasn't me doing that. I was busting it up, cleaning up the town the way I did in Abilene. Flint!
- Earl Packer: Pick your story, boy, but remember this, I ain't out in this here snow for no $5,000. Katie was a nice girl. I thought a lot of her. I'm gonna kill the man that shot her. And you're looking at him.
