Quotes 

• Barney Kaster : What's the trouble?

  Bat Masterson : Oh, uh,your wagon wheels put a pleat in my three-dollar derby.

• Bat Masterson : You seem to plan your business tactics with a lot of foresight, Kaster. How do you fix to fight some good, honest competition?

  Barney Kaster : There's no room here for more wagons.

  Bat Masterson : Well, there's room on the river for another riverboat line. There's room along the river for, uh, a railroad.

  Barney Kaster : What's your stake in this?

  Bat Masterson : Two badly battered derbies.

• Bat Masterson : It takes more than a broom, bullets, or conversation to stop Kaster. There's only one thing that can beat him, and that's competition.

• Bat Masterson : [to Sharon Stabler]  What was it your father said? "It's the merchants who turn a small town into a big city." He coulda meant these merchants. Oh, no - they don't have enough courage to turn a corner.

• [Bat kills Kaster in a shootout] 

  Bat Masterson : That's one way to go out of business.

• [Bat tries on a derby in Sharon Stabler's store] 

  Bat Masterson : Well , uh, seems I've been here before. A new derby at an honest price. Nothing's more satisfying.

  [as he starts to leave, Sharon grabs him and they kiss] 

  Bat Masterson : Well, almost nothing.

  Sharon Stabler : May I see you again, Bat?

  Bat Masterson : Every time I need a new derby.
