- Kin Talley: Marshal, how are you gonna keep eighteen juiced-up Texas cowboys out of Dodge? They'll run right over you!
- Marshal Matt Dillon: I'm not gonna keep 'em out of Dodge. But they won't find much to do when they get there.
- Kin Talley: What do you mean?
- Marshal Matt Dillon: I'll close Front Street. I'll close every saloon, gambling hall, and store in Dodge.
- Kin Talley: You'd do that?
- Marshal Matt Dillon: You bet I'll do it!
