• [Engle has paid Naylack twenty dollars to marry his daughter] 

  Pat Garrett : All right, you asked for it - both of you. You know what this is? This is a law book and in it is the Constitution of the United States, its amendments and the Bill of Rights.

  Sam Naylack : So?

  Pat Garrett : Well, if either one of you had read it you'd know that what you're doing is called involuntary servitude and it's prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment - "Exchanging money for the services of a person or persons against their will." And it's punishable by terms of up to thirty years - and thirty years strikes me as a nice... round... figure.

  Frank Engle : Now you better give me my money back. Ain't no woman worth that. Now, c'mon, gimme it.

  Sam Naylack : Look, how do you know what he says is true?

  Frank Engle : The Constitution - I ain't gonna argue with that. C'mon, gimme!
