Shapley Howell : It seems that I gave you a fightin' chance. Why don't you give me one?
Bat Masterson : You gave me the chance to fight a bear. I'm giving you the chance to fight one, too... and I need some satisfaction anyway.

Shapley Howell : You can't take me back. We're in Canada - out of jurisdiction the moment we crossed the border.
Bat Masterson : Well now, Mr. Howell, I don't know about that. The American-Canadian border is ill-defined in the wilderness. I'd say we're still on the American side.
Shapley Howell : Ridiculous!
Bat Masterson : All right, let's get packed. First night out, we'll have bear steaks for everybody, compliments of Bat Masterson. And when we run out of those, I'll catch you some fish.
