Marc Lawrence: Alvy Burke
Quotes
-
Alvy Burke : Why don't we save ourselves a lot of time? It's simple: you hang my brother; I'm going to shoot your deputy. I'm going through with my part of the bargain because that's the way I'm made; you're not going to let your deputy die because that's the way you're made. Why don't we stop bluffing each other?
-
Marshal Simon Fry : Your brother's going to be on those gallows at three o'clock, Burke. Make no mistake about it.
Alvy Burke : I don't make mistakes. I'll tell you how I avoid 'em - I look into that head of yours and I ride the wheels. You gotta pretty good reputation in these parts because you think like a criminal, huh? You see, it never occurred to you a criminal could think like a lawman.

Marshal Simon Fry : I thought about my way, then I thought about your way, then I rode the wheels in my deputy's head.
