  Deputy Sheriff George Allison : We'll be in Porter for a few minutes. Want some air, Jim?

  Jim Larsen : Why don't you get off without me?

  Deputy Sheriff George Allison : I'd be lonely.

• Reed Williams : Mister, you're butting into something that doesn't concern you. Either you're extra good with that gun, or you're bluffing.

  Jim Larsen : All you gotta do is figure out which it is.

• Mark Riley : I never did thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten married.

  Jim Larsen : As long as you're thankin' me and not blamin' me, you're welcome.

• Ellen Bailey : You look different... bigger.

  Jim Larsen : Well, maybe it's the gun. It would make anyone look bigger.

• Mark Riley : Are you trying to tell me I should ask her to marry me now? Tonight?

  Jim Larsen : That's what I'm trying to tell you.

  Mark Riley : Don't you realize that I might be killed in the morning?

  Jim Larsen : Anybody can be killed... any day.

  Mark Riley : Anybody is me! Any day is tomorrow!

• Ellen Bailey : Why didn't you leave tonight, Ray?

  Jim Larsen : Oh, I just couldn't seem to get started.

  Ellen Bailey : I've heard men say that the first part of the journey is often the hardest.

  Jim Larsen : Yeah, I guess it is.

  Ellen Bailey : Why is that?

  Jim Larsen : Oh, I don't know... different reasons.

  Ellen Bailey : Is it ever because you're afraid to start out from one place to another... to try something different... even if it's bad?
