• Miller : Now, how good are you on a horse?

  Catlow : As good as the next man.

  Cowan : Two. One for jumping arrest. You stirred up some kind of a hornet's nest back there. And that Miller, he's packing a lot of heat.

  Catlow : Think I can't handle him?

  Cowan : Well, if somebody shoots you, let's keep it in the family. I'm gonna bring you in before he carries you in.
