Quotes 

• Ferguson : Sorry, Sheriff, I guess I spoke to you at the wrong time. I'm Ferguson from Washington.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Yeah, I know. Editor Claibourne told me you wanted to talk to me.

  Ferguson : That's right.

  [holding up the derringer Ed pulled on Clay] 

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : You almost lost your chance.

• Ferguson : So President Arthur sent me out here to investigate your mounting crime and lawlessness. He feels that Tombstone is a blot upon the entire country. Your Boot Hill is proof enough of that.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Mr. Ferguson, wherever there's sudden wealth there's always sudden death - whether it be a diamond strike in Africa or a silver strike in Arizona.

  Ferguson : What's your opinion, Claibourne?

  Harris Claibourne : There is crime and lawlessness in Tombstone, yes. That's in the nature of a boomtown. But, most important, our law has never lost the upper hand.

• [refering to wounded outlaw Joe Chandler] 

  Ferguson : Don't let anything happen to *that* on the way, or Miss Blythe is a goner.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Yeah. First you have to shoot 'em, then you have to keep 'em alive.
