Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Harris Claibourne : April 12, 1882 - a few miles from Tombstone, Arizona Territory. It was a also a few minutes from murder.

• [Pell is researching back issues of The Epitaph for information on an outlaw] 

  Harris Claibourne : Did you find what you're after?

  Jay Pell : Nooo, I haven't found much I can use at all. Frankly, I'm surprised at your rather colorless reporting.

  Harris Claibourne : I'm running a newspaper, Mr. Pell, not a paintshop.

• Jay Pell : But Sam Crane's killed 14 men! He can't be the kind of cowardly shadow you've described. He's got to be a dangerous killer!

  Harris Claibourne : Oh-ho, I didn't say he wasn't dangerous. Cholera, dynamite and rattlesnakes are dangerous. When you mix 'em together and put boots on it, you got Sam Crane.

  Jay Pell : But it must take courage for Crane to kill!

  Harris Claibourne : Courage? It doesn't take courage to kill. It takes courage to avoid a killing.

• [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.
