- Tom Brewster: Well, it is the season for mirages. Plenty fast travelling though even for a man on the run.
- Sheriff Pete Rayle: Great posse I'll get. They'll be so busy thinking about the reward money, they'll let fly at every jack rabbit.
- Alice Fenton: How could you know a man like Mr Cantwell?
- Sid Garnin: That's why I came here, like a hawk with his tail on fire. That's why I stuck my neck out when I could've been over the border clear.
- Ab Martin: You said you were his friend.
- Sid Garnin: You got it a little wrong, kid. I'm his brother.
- Ab Martin: What?
- Sid Garnin: All I want is something he's been keeping from me: $20,000.
- Sid Garnin: Where were you going?
- Ab Martin: To get Pa's shotgun. I thought a skunk or something.
- Sid Garnin: Well, now, that's not very complementary.
- Ab Martin: You ate 'em?
- [the eggs]
- Sid Garnin: Oh, my horse gave out a ways back. Get hungry walking.
- Ab Martin: You on the run or something? You an outlaw?
- Sid Garnin: Me? Nah? Just a little trouble, that's all.
- Ab Martin: Oh.
- [disappointed]
- Roy Cantwell: [the barometer is on stormy] Your gun doesn't look so big now, Sid?
- [Sid smashes the glass on the barometer]
- Roy Cantwell: Thank you, Sid. I never would have thought of that. You stopped that twister right in its tracks.
