  Sheriff Dan Shaw : I don't see any need. It ain't likely anybody is gonna cry over them anyhow.

• Lutie Naylor : [the stranger has bought a round for the house]  Let's see, one round for the house plus the smoke; that comes to about eight dollars and fifty cents.

  Lutie Naylor : I didn't know that mean free whiskey!

  Sheriff Dan Shaw : Everybody's got to put something in the kitty.

  The Stranger : [Reaches over a takes off Shaw's badge and pins it on Mordecai]  'Bout time this town had a new sheriff.

  [looks around the saloon] 

  Mordacai : I'm the new sheriff!

  Mayor Jason Hobart : [laughing]  I'm sorry, Dan; but you should have seen the look on your face when he took off your badge and pinned it on the runt.

  Mordacai : I'm not a runt anymore; I'm the new sheriff!

  The Stranger : [reaches over and takes off the mayor's hat and puts it on Mordecai]  And the mayor. Any objections?

  Mayor Jason Hobart : Uh, no.

• Mordecai : All right, everybody grab a brush and start in!

  The Stranger : Everything.

  Preacher : You can't possibly mean the church, too?

  The Stranger : I mean *especially* the church.
