  Harry Whitmore : [his unshaken hand drops to his side]  It's been a long time. Just looking...

  Sheriff Frank Lewis aka Jed Whitmore : Harry Whitmore. You got a reputation I don't like.

  [Harry's smile disappears] 

  Sheriff Frank Lewis aka Jed Whitmore : I came to tell you this town isn't for people like you.

  Harry Whitmore : Jed, it's me. Harry. I'm your brother. What's going on?

  Sheriff Frank Lewis aka Jed Whitmore : I don't know what you're so confused about. But you get one thing clear. You and your friends you got, got one day and then you're leaving. You're riding out and not coming back.

  Harry Whitmore : Jed, what are you saying?

  Sheriff Frank Lewis aka Jed Whitmore : Frank, Frank Lewis. I'm sheriff here. What are the likes of you doing in Springtown anyway?

• Marv Jennings : I don't like lawmen even if the name if Whitmore.

  Harry Whitmore : Wonder if I'll know him.

  Marv Jennings : What do you mean: If you know him?

• Harry Whitmore : You've got to listen to me. I'm your brother.

  Sheriff Frank Lewis aka Jed Whitmore : No, but if I had a brother I wouldn't turn on him.

  Harry Whitmore : Don't make me into a Cain. I didn't turn on my brother. I took care of him. I went up for twenty years and I kept my mouth shut. And that wasn't easy with everyone wanting to know where you were, day after day, year after year.

• Jean Lewis : You're just going to give Marv that money?

  Harry Whitmore : Well, that isn't Marv's money. Ernie and Jed and me took that.

• Marv Jennings : What was all that talk about that silver box?

  Harry Whitmore : That was something that belonged to our Ma. Yeah, Pa got it for her one time when she was mad at him. It was a kinda make-up present. Yeah, Ma sure thought lot of that box.

  Marv Jennings : Are you sure it was your Ma's?

  Harry Whitmore : You don't mistake nothing like that. Hey, are you sure Carl will give $5,000 just to talk to Jed?

  Marv Jennings : He said he would. Why not. It's a good story. Jed Whitmore is just about as famous as Jess James, even more so. Well, people, of course, don't know much about him. And Frank Lewis is famous too. Now you take two men like that and you put them together in the same skin, why you get a package people are gonna want to be reading about forever.

  Harry Whitmore : But we ain't sure that Jed and Frank Lewis is the same man.

  Marv Jennings : What about those tales we heard when we was in that jail in Cincinnati, about how Frank Lewis was cleaning up Springtown, about how he did it, all singlehanded, all without wearing a gun and all that hogwash. And you said at the time, it sounded to you just like your own baby brother Jed.
