James Burke Quotes:
Tommy Bates:
Excuse me, sir. Could you tell me where the schoolhouse is?
Pop Saunders: Surest thing. Up the street about two blocks... where it says Dead Eye Saloon.
Tommy Bates: Well?
Pop Saunders: That's it.
Tommy Bates: What? The Dead Eye Saloon is a schoolhouse?
Pop Saunders: Yep. The owner got killed so we moved the kids in there.
Sheriff Ed Johnson: Captain Vesser, you got to be taught a lesson. You got to learn that to fight in a war at peace time is the business of peace officers, not private citizens. We have law in this country, and if a man breaks the law against you, you're just as guilty as him if you break the law trying to get back at him.
Whitey: There's sure lot of building going on around here.
Pokey: A church, new houses, a school... I tell ya what, it's getting so civilized they'll soon tell you where to spit.
