Marshal Simon Fry : Me and my deputy were sittin' less than 20 feet away. You coulda let the law handle it for ya.
Bill Jason : I guess I don't always think as fast as I shoot, Marshal.

[Billy Jason has just shot Garth Cabot in a fair fight]
Marshal Simon Fry : You the Billy Jason that defended himself against Ron Barkley in Mesa a couple of weeks back and against Swifty Stone last winter in Phoenix?
Bill Jason : That's me.
Marshal Simon Fry : There's always someone like Cabot can't stand to hear someone's better without findin' out for himself.
-
Clay McCord : Did you know Garth Cabot was comin' here, Billy?
Bill Jason : You keep forgettin' I was mindin' my own business, so now I gotta tell you to do the same.

Tom Arnold : If your pop was here I bet he'd stand Billy to a drink.
Clay McCord : Things are different now.
Bill Jason : Men like Cabot ain't any different. If he was bent on makin' trouble, you couldn't talk him out of it.
Clay McCord : I'd try.
Tom Arnold : The way I knew Luke McCord, he might be ashamed to hear you talkin' like that.
Clay McCord : Careful what you say, Mr. Arnold, because the way you talk, you don't sound like you knew my father at all. Figure Billy Jason for a hero if you like, but one day he's going to gun down an innocent man and when that day comes, I don't want anyone of you to say Luke McCord taught him that!

Tom Arnold : Is it true like you say, that you only come back to Silver City because it's your hometown?
Bill Jason : You heard me say it.
Tom Arnold : Then you better learn to get along with Clay McCord, 'cause you can't get along against him.
