- Douglas Brainard: I think we'd better give up. We've been circling for two hours.
- Clay McCord: No... we can't give up.
- Douglas Brainard: You're not going to make it, Clay.
- Clay McCord: You're forgettin' one thing, Mr. Brainard.
- Douglas Brainard: Yeah? What's that?
- Clay McCord: If we give up, Simon ain't gonna make it, either.
- Clay McCord: Where's Brainerd?
- Posse Member: We left him inside - slight case of gun barrel over the head.
- Marshal Simon Fry: Brainard and his crew ought to be worth a big reward.
- Clay McCord: The way I feel, the best part of it will be spent for doctor's bills - that is, if I get it.
- Marshal Simon Fry: Oh, you won't get it, 'cause no rewards been posted. Only reward you'll get is you saved me the beatin' you took.

- Clay McCord: You mean you knew all the time I might have to take this beatin'?
- Marshal Simon Fry: Well, you're gettin' good money for your trouble, boy.
- Clay McCord: That's right, Simon. The law has to expect trouble. 'Course, it's the scars and bruises that make it worthwhile.
