James Garner Quotes:

Mayor Olly Perkins: That must have been some show you put on at the saloon this afternoon. It kind of sobered up the whole town.
Jason McCullough: Well, that's good.
Mayor Olly Perkins: Maybe... maybe not. It has been a lot of fun around here up to now. I mean, everything all kind of wide-open and relaxed. Nobody looking down their noses at anybody who happened to shoot someone else. Nobody poking their noses into nobody else's business without them getting their big noses blasted off in the process. Ah, I guess now that we got law and order, chuches will start moving in.
Jason McCullough: Yeah, that's usually the next thing that happens.
Mayor Olly Perkins: And then the women will start forming committees and having bazaars. And then they'll chase Madame Orr's girls out of town, or make them get married, or something even worse. But, what the hell, like you said, the law's the law, and we got to face up to it sometime.
Jason McCullough: When did I say that?


Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: I'm not sentimental about war. I see nothing noble in widows.


Jason McCullough: Is this the kind of town you people want for yourselves? Is this the kind of life you want to lead? I mean, three killings in one saloon alone! The sun hasn't even gone down yet. Any more of this foolishness, and I'm gonna close this place up tight.
