- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: [Cole has just been treated for a gunshot wound] Doctor, can he be moved?
- Dr. Miller: Sure, in a couple of hours, but don't go bouncin' him around.
- Maudie: He can stay here. I'll... I'll make him comfortable.
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Oh, I've got a fine bed over at my place. It's, uh, narrow and it's hard and it's uncomfortable, but, uh, he won't get bounced around.
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: You know something Cole, I think we'd better get ourselves a new girl.
- Cole: Yeah.
- Maudie: You'd better not.
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Why not?
- Maudie: I'm girl enough for both of you.
- Maudie: You must like that man. Want me to tell you about him?
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: You don't have to tell me about Cole.
- Maudie: I know I don't. That's why I want to. I met Cole right after my husband was killed. I did tell you that.
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Yeah, you told me.
- Maudie: Well, there I was stranded. A gambler's widow, not a chip to my name. Cole was awful good to me. Gave me a stake. Helped me get on my feet. Never would take a... I don't know, J.P., with Cole and me I guess it's a... I'll always think of him as a... , as a...
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: He's a top hand.
- Maudie: I guess so.
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Yeah, well, Cole always was pretty lucky.
- Maudie: Have you known him a long time?
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Yeah, I've known him a long time, since before the war. We've, uh, we've travelled some together.
- Maudie: Sure, I know what that means. It means either you saved his life or he saved yours, or both. And neither one of you will talk about it. Men.
- Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Would you like it set to music, Maudie, with a full orchestra?
