      [Smith and Romack find Lord Hilary at the side of the road after a murderous stagecoach hold-up]

      Lord Hilary: There's been a bit of unpleasantness.

      Whispering Smith: Yes, I know. I'm Tom Smith, Denver police. This is my partner, George Romack

      Lord Hilary: I'm Alfred Hilary. So you're two bobbies, eh?

      George Romack: No, just plain lawmen. We're supposed to welcome you to Denver.

      Lord Hilary: Oh, no thank you. I've already had my welcome and if this be your welcome, I'd prefer your snub.
