The Tall Man (TV Series)

A Gun Is for Killing (1961)

Barry Sullivan: Pat Garrett

Quotes 

• Billy the Kid : You see, Patrick, them fellows rile me and I ain't even sure they're from Texas and if they ain't, they're gonna run.

  Pat Garrett : And if they are, they'll fight.

• [last lines] 

  [Garrett and the newly deputized Billy Bonney have managed to arrest or kill Blanchard's rioting trailhands] 

  Pat Garrett : That deputy's badge looks good on you, Billy. Why not keep it?

  Billy the Kid : Oh, better not. Some friends of mine might not understand.

  Pat Garrett : I'm serious, Billy.

  Billy the Kid : So am I, Patrick. See, the law just doesn't mean the same thing to me as it does to Johnny Swift or you and I got a habit of tarnishin' shiny new things, I guess. Now you wouldn't want that to happen to this, would you?

  [Billy returns his Deputy Sheriff badge to Pat] 

  Pat Garrett : Billy, give it some thought.

  Billy the Kid : See you around, Patrick.

• Mayor : [Pat resigned as sheriff]  Take it easy, Pat. Give yourself some time to think.

  Pat Garrett : Why? So I can keep wearing this badge, maybe kill another friend? Who will it be next time? Billy? No, I've had enough badge-toting for a lifetime.
