- [a posse pursuing a bank robber halts at the Mexican border]
- Sheriff Ike Masters: We can't cross into Mexico.
- Bill Longley: He did.
- Ben Cushman: Oh, come on, let's take a chance.
- Max Bowen: Hold on, Ben. You heard Ike - we got no right to cross the border.
- Bill Longley: Neither did my eight thousand.
- Bill Longley: [to Nick] You offered to buy me a drink a while ago; I'll take it. Looks like we're in for a long talk and my throat needs lubricating.
- [Sam organizes a lynch mob]
- Sam Chase: I'm going to get a piece of rope and there's cartridges for anyone who needs 'em.
- Ben Cushman: Well, let's stop beating around the bush. We came to get young Ahern.
- Bill Longley: Well, comin' and gettin' are two different things, Mr. Cushman.
- Sam Chase: What are we waitin' for? I've got the rope!
- Bill Longley: Then put it back, 'cause you're not going to use it.
- Gus Phelan: Come on, boys, this ain't no debatin' society!
- Bill Longley: And it ain't no hangin' society.
- [last lines]
- Sheriff Ike Masters: Mr. Longley, I want to thank you for preventin' us from doing something wrong yesterday. Would you mind telling me how you caught onto Max Bowen?
- Bill Longley: Well, first of all, Bowen was a little too anxious to shoot somebody. The banker was killed with a right-hand gun... Nick's left-handed.
