Henry Fonda: Chief Marshal Simon Fry
Quotes
-
Marshal Simon Fry : Wagner's shrewd. He's got you in a box. You gonna have to serve 'em. The chief marshal can't expect his deputy to do any different... but there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Clay McCord : What you drivin' at?
Marshal Simon Fry : Aw, there's a whole mess of laws, statutes, regulations that people don't bother to learn or remember, like spittin' on a sidewalk, failin' to tether a horse or muddyin' a drinking trough, or offerin' a bribe. Any one of 'em could have a body thrown in jail until a circuit judge shows up. That could take a looong time.

[last lines]
Marshal Simon Fry : [narrating] Law and justice ain't always the same thing. A peace officer's job is to uphold the law, but even more, it's to see justice is done... and that deputy of mine was just the man to help me get it done.
