Incident of the Shambling Man (1959)

Gene Nelson: Dave Thompson

Quotes 

• Gene : Well, look who's coming to town.

  Gregg : Hey, now, the only real woman in Rockpoint.

  Gene : That's what them that knew her in Abilene say.

  Gregg : We had a few beauts like that down in the Key House before your brother started scrubbing us down.

  Dave Thompson : You shut up about him.

  Gene : Why should I shut up. If it weren't for Marshall Thompson we'd have us a town, instead of a graveyard.

• Dave Thompson : All you have to do is write down that and if you make a sale of this property, after it's yours, I'm to get half. You see, I'm like you, Rose, I want to get away from this stinking town too. And with $4,000 I can stay away for a long time. Or, we could stay away for a long time.

  [She seals the deal with a kiss] 

• Dave Thompson : Come on, champ, Hillyer's waiting to beat you to a pulp.

  Harry Wittman : I think I'll go home.

  Dave Thompson : You can't go home. Your son's gone. Don't you remember? He can't help you now.

  Harry Wittman : Leave me alone. Give me that picture.

  Dave Thompson : Come on, get up, and fight, you miserable old fall-down.

  Harry Wittman : Give me that picture.

  Dave Thompson : What kind of champion were you? You're afraid to figure Hillyer, ain't ya, ain't ya. If you ain't scared, come on, let's see how you fight. Or fall down, Harry.

  Harry Wittman : Give me that picture.

  [Dave rips the picture up and Harry fells him with one punch]
