  George Elkhart, Gang Leader : Oh, no offense, Mr. Buttram, but everybody in this part of the country knows you've been friends for years.

  Pat Buttram : Well, we ain't no more! When a man says you're yellow just because you won't get your head shot off chasin' a bunch of counterfeiters, it's time to start throwin' punches and me and Autry throwed a lot of punches.
