Quotes 

• Deputy J.D. Smith : What do you want to do now, Frank?

  Marshal Frank Ragan : Del made the play. We'll see it through. Give them their thirty minutes.

  Deputy Del Stark : He was wrong, JD.

  Deputy J.D. Smith : What makes you so sure? They still got two hostages.

  Deputy Del Stark : Two live hostages.

  Deputy J.D. Smith : Hmm, for a while.

  Deputy Del Stark : I won't buy that. There isn't any reason for the Bartons to kill them now.

  Deputy J.D. Smith : That was Clarence and Jim Barton. What makes you think men like that need a reason, huh?

• Deputy Vance Porter : Beans. Breakfast beans, lunch beans, dinner beans. There's a whole town out there crammed full of steaks, and ham, and eggs. Only our money ain't any good in Crystal Springs.

  Deputy J.D. Smith : Shouldn't have got yourself shot, Frank. You inconvenience your deputies.

• Deputy J.D. Smith : Well, if it ain't the absentee lawman. Where were you when the shooting started, Sheriff?
