- Narrator: The Annual Midas Creek Turkey Shoot was no trivial affair. And because of his reputation, the Town Council sent for a man both fearless and fair to run the shooting match. Bat Masterson - the man who became a legend in his own time.
- Rance Fletcher: Where'd you get that thing?
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Dick Pierce and I did a little tinkering. It's a rifle cane - used in Europe to assassinate kings. Works good on knaves, too.
- [the order of the shooting contestants is being chosen by drawing a card from Bat's deck]
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Pick a card.
- [Fletcher turns the deck over to select an advantageous card]
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Do you want to pick a card or a bullet?
- Rance Fletcher: Some day, some way, you're going to meet me on my terms!
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: I hope not. I'd hate to think what your terms are.
- Amber Mason: And if I weren't a lady grown, I'd box your ears for intimating I was making sheeps' eyes at Mr. Masterson.
- Billy Webb: You never look at me like that when I'm not lookin'.
- Amber Mason: How do you know how I look at you when you're not lookin'?
- Billy Webb: But do you really think I ought to apologize to her?
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Positively.
- Billy Webb: Well, oh, exceptin' I don't know what to apologize to her for!
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: It doesn't matter - as long as you mean it.
