  Bailey Harper : Oh, don't apologize. Now, once Bailey Harper makes a bargain, he sticks to it.

  Bat Masterson : Oh, I'll get there, all right; with my own horse, my own gun, and the thousand dollars you're borrowing.

  Bailey Harper : Masterson, you stop any place from here to Walesburg, tell 'em you're after Bailey Harper and see how much help you get.

  Bat Masterson : I'm not looking for help, Harper. It's a personal matter.
