Quotes
-
Bat Masterson : Bailey Harper. You're connected in stagecoaching, I believe.
Bailey Harper : If the coaches are carrying money. Right now, I'm just a horse trader. I figure your horse for mine is fair enough... provided you, uh, are throwin' in your gun and your money pouch.
Bat Masterson : That money pouch has a thousand dollars U.S. in it.
Bailey Harper : Oh, don't apologize. Now, once Bailey Harper makes a bargain, he sticks to it.

Bat Masterson : You're in a hurry, I take it.
Bailey Harper : Right! I'm expecting a lady, and my fort is a fifty mile ride.
Bat Masterson : I had a poker date in Phoenix, but I guess I'm not in a hurry.
Bailey Harper : [Harper laughs] Oh, you'll get there. Some day. Maybe.
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.

[Realizing he will be recognized, Bat ducks under the stagecoach driver's seat during an apparent robbery]
Stage Driver : Some shotgun rider! Why don't you go hide your head in the sand like an ostrich?
Bat Masterson : Maybe this shotgun wants to live to shoot again - at bigger game.
