The Haunted Mine (1946)

Terry Frost: Meade

Quotes 

• [Sandy is undercover as Buckeye's town barber] 

  Meade : Come on, Scissors. They want you for a lawyer over at the trial.

  Marshal Sandy Hopkins : A lawyer? I ain't no lawyer.

  Meade : Yeah? Well, I saw your last eight haircuts. You ain't no barber, either. Come on.

• [after reading the bill of sale for the Sweetwater Mine] 

  Marshal Nevada Jack McKenzie : Well, it sounds legal enough.

  Blackie : It won't do you any good.

  Marshal Nevada Jack McKenzie : It won't do your boss any good, either, unless he can record it... so I think I'll keep it.

  Meade : Say, what's the deal?

  Marshal Nevada Jack McKenzie : Maybe a partnership. Tell your boss to look me up. I'll talk business with him.

  Blackie : We can always get another deed from Mrs. Durant.

  Marshal Nevada Jack McKenzie : [referring to Dan]  Then why are you kickin' this boy around? You tell your boss I'll be at the Sweetwater Mine around sundown.

  Dan McLeod : You're all a bunch of crooks.

  Marshal Nevada Jack McKenzie : The question is who's the smartest.

• Blackie : Meade, you and Skyball go back and tell the boss what's happened. If this fellow Nevada's got nerve enough to go to the mine, I'm going to be the reception committee.

  Meade : You're takin' a chance, Blackie, goin' up there alone. That mine's haunted!

  Blackie : [patting his rifle]  A ghost never walked that this won't take care of.
