• Ann Keith : Justice! That's what you promised, ain't it? I told you what he'd get. Cattleman's justice! A trial in the dead of night so you could hang him quicker. Are you satisfied?

  Judge Marlowe : Young woman, I can understand your anxiety for your father. But justice does not vary with the time of day. Your father can receive as fair a trial in darkness as in daylight.

• Marshal Len Merrick : [Trying to treat her injuries under her pant leg with some difficulty]  Sorry, but it'd be a lot easier if you wore dresses.

  Ann Keith : Dresses slow yuh down!

  Marshal Len Merrick : Depends on where yuh goin'.

• Marshal Len Merrick : We'll head through the desert to Santa Loma.

  Timothy 'Pop' Keith : [taken aback]  The desert? Why, this is August, man. No self-respecting rattler would try to cross the desert in this heat.

  Deputy Lou Gray : You'd never make Santa Loma that'a way!

  Marshal Len Merrick : We got no choice. The other way, Roden'll be waitin'. I don't aim to have us all killed.

  Deputy Lou Gray : Well, let Roden have the old man. He ain't meant nothin' but trouble to us.

  Ann Keith : Sure, give him up, jug head. Save your own hide!

  Marshal Len Merrick : We're leaving now across the desert. Look, I know it's tougher, but they won't figure on us taking the long way around. And even if they do, we'll have a night's ride ahead of them. Pack up, Billy.

• Marshal Len Merrick : You didn't need to cut yourself like that.

  Ann Keith : [taken aback]  Cut myself?

  Marshal Len Merrick : [indicating the spur on his boot]  I wear a single rowel. You cut yourself with a Mexican spur.
