- Bat Masterson: Gentleman, I'm known for other things beside gambling: your five hundred dollars of my money on that table.
- Sheriff: Morning, Bat.
- Bat Masterson: I'm called Bat by my friends.
- Sheriff: All right, Masterson. You got a name as a gunslinger. I won't have any trouble in my town!
- Bat Masterson: Your town? I thought this was Morgan's town.
- Bat Masterson: Sheriff, were you ever a decent man?
- Sheriff: That's a miserable question to ask a man.
- Bat Masterson: Yeah, that's what I thought.

- Bat Masterson: I'm sure you will.

- Bat Masterson: It's only money, and you look charming in your lovely new gown.
- Amelia Roberts: Now how can you say that to me. Thirty-four years old and still "Miss Roberts".
