Quotes 

• Dan - Stagecoach Driver : You aren't going after him alone are you, Clay? He's a killer!

  [Clay taps his holster] 

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : I'm not alone.

• Jay Pell : A real live murderer at large out in those hills somewhere. I wish I could meet him.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Why?

  Jay Pell : The deadliness! The ruthlessness! That's the stuff legends are made of.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : It's men with pens, not guns, that make legends, Mr. Pell.

• Jay Pell : I suppose Buffalo Bill, Calamity Jane aren't real people.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Bill Cody got famous for slaughtering cattle and wearing long hair. Poor old Calamity...

  Jay Pell : But they are famous!

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : For things they didn't do. What they're famous for never happened except in Ned Buntline's head - a little man with a sharp pen and an inkwell full of blood.

• Sheriff Clay Hollister : Has anyone ever done a story on Clay Hollister's life for the Eastern papers?

  Jay Pell : Never.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : How do his gunfights stack up against Crane's? Just how many has he killed?

  Jay Pell : Mister Pell, that's a piece of arithmetic you don't do around here - not if you're Hollister's friend.

• Kirby Crane : Put up the gun or I'll jail you.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you can't climb over bullets.

• [Clay and his deputy allow Tim Crane to escape so they can trail him back to his outlaw brother] 

  Harris Claibourne : Well, I guess I can start setting type.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : You better wait to see how the story ends.

• [last ines] 

  Jay Pell : [to Kirby]  You and your blowhard brother - coyotes! Coyotes kill sheep. It takes a man to walk into two guns and kill. A man like this.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : So you finally got your story, huh?

  Jay Pell : "Today in the parched hills near Tombstone, I watched a killer die - Sam Crane, the Southwest's deadliest outlaw."

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : "Same Crane - a coward who killed for greed and out of ignorance."

  Jay Pell : Wellll, we've got two writers around.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Then change the part about coyotes. Coyotes are smart like, ah, like this one here. He decided to talk rather than hang.

  Jay Pell : You mean about his brother's killings?

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Mm-hmm - especially the last one, where Sam killed the stage guard for a fee paid by a writer gathering information on Western outlaws.

  Jay Pell : That's a lie!

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : You paid... and you'll finish paying with ten years of your life for conspiracy to commit murder - in Yuma prison where you'll meet most of the outlaws in the territory. You can write their stories.
