• [Ted and Texas have been thrown out of a saloon for fighting] 

  Ted Crosby : We didn't start anything, Whip.

  Marshal Whip Wilson : Yes, I know. Same old story - you were minding your own business when somebody ran into your knuckles.

• Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer : You know you have to make a run at least one a week to hold your franchise.

  Joyce Westbrook : Yes.

  Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer : You have to carry at least one passenger on every one.

  Marshal Whip Wilson : That's right, Joyce.

  Joyce Westbrook : I didn't know that.

  Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer : It's a postal regulation. They want to make sure they're doing business with a responsible passenger-carrying stage line.

  Joyce Westbrook : I see. Well, that may stop me. People out here say they won't ride on my line if they were paid for it!

  Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer : That's understandable. Folks don't like being shot at. You may have trouble hiring drivers, too.

  Marshal Whip Wilson : Well, we'll see she won't run out of drivers.

  Ted Crosby : Texas and I can ride as passengers.

  'Texas' : Sure! And if we get shot at, we'll get our money back for the tickets.

• Marshal Whip Wilson : Keep out of trouble now.

  Ted Crosby : Well, don't we always?

  Marshal Whip Wilson : Do I have to give you a short answer? No!
