• [Bender swats Smith's hat off and shoots a hole in it] 

  Bender : Now go get it... I said, "Go get it."

  [points his gun at Smith] 

  Bender : And on your hands and knees. I want to see you crawl.

  Bear River Smith : I don't intend to be your Number10.

  Bender : Then start crawlin;!

  Bear River Smith : I don't intend to do that, either.

  Bear River Smith : Why you...

  [Smith slugs Bender and throws him out of the saloon] 

• Bear River Smith : They hung a badge on me up in Bear River country because I used to be a cop in New York and then I forgot what I learned walking a beat in the Bowery. I don't care whether you call him a cop or a marshal - a man who is hired to protect the public has no right to elect himself judge or jury

  Prentiss : Well, this is a gun town, Marshal.

  Bear River Smith : And it will be - as long as you hire guns and hang badges on them.

• Stede : You're causing quite a stir around town.

  Bear River Smith : Oh? Is that good or bad?

  Stede : Depends on who you ask.

  Bear River Smith : What's your opinion?

  Stede : I think the one in the corner's just about your size.

  [points to a pair of coffins]
