- Monk: You tricked me! All that talk - a dirty Johnny Law trick!
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: The trick is to stay alive.
- Harris Claibourne: [narrating] An actual account from the pages of my newspaper, The Tombstone Epitaph - this is the way it happened in the town too tough to die.
- [Clay and his deputy try to disarm Curly Bill and his gang]
- Curly Bill: Go ahead, Monk. It's a Mexican standoff.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: And if the shootin' really starts, it'll look like the Alamo.
- Harris Claibourne: Radcliffe? He just wants you killed so he can get his own man appointed sheriff.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: You're bein' uncharitable. I think he'd rather I resign.
- Harris Claibourne: How many men you takin'?
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Take a lot of men, somebody's bound to get killed.
- Harris Claibourne: But what about you? Nobody'll save you ridin' into Galeyville. You should be takin' the Fort Huachuca cavalry.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: I'm takin' this. I've seen this ol' scattergun take the fight out of a lot of men at close quarters. You know, outlaws are a peculiar breed. Don't mind gettin' killed with a nice, clean bullet, but they get real jumpy when they might get messed up with a shotgun.
- Mag Davis: It's not often we see your kind up here.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Lawman?
- Mag Davis: No... Just your kind.
