Quotes
[discussing Sheriff Jackson]
Howell Hendricks: You know as well as I do with the railroad finished, people pouring into town, more mines opening up - the job is too big for a tired old man... and that's what he is. And that's all he is.
Deputy Jim Brand: Not to me, Mr. Hendricks. If it wasn't for him takin' a chance on me, I'd still be an out-of-work cowhand going no place.
Howell Hendricks: Jim, loyalty is fine and I admire you for it, but let's be practical.
Deputy Jim Brand: Like how?
Howell Hendricks: [pointing to a favorable newspaper headline] This should be enough to get you elected. If you wait any longer, you'll have more competition. Right now, you're way ahead of the rush.
Deputy Jim Brand: Tell me - what difference does it make to you who's sheriff and who's not?
Howell Hendricks: I want to see Washoe County get ahead - Nevada get ahead.
Deputy Jim Brand: Now is that the railroad talking or you talking?
Howell Hendricks: Both.
Deputy Jim Brand: Now which talks first - the kite or the tail?
