James Garner credited as playing...
Bret Maverick
- Philo Sandeen: My people have a saying which sums it up rather nicely... Hawk-a-hey.
- Bret Maverick: Hawk-a-hey?
- Philo Sandeen: It's a good day to die. Adios, pilgrim.
- Ramsey Bass: I was worried you wouldn't make it, Maverick.
- Bret Maverick: Well, Bass, now you can start worrying that I did.
- Philo Sandeen: My people have a custom: when you save a life, you own that life. I am your servant. I am your brother.
- Bret Maverick: I already have a brother and I don't want a servant... particularly some bogus Indian who thinks he's Sitting Bull!
- Philo Sandeen: Standing Bear! And my life belong to you.
- Bret Maverick: I don't want it!
- Philo Sandeen: You got it, pilgrim!
- Mary Lou Springer, Publisher Sweetwater Territorian: Some people have no shame.
- Bret Maverick: That's because others have enough for everybody.
- [Bret and Mary Lou are trapped in a cross-fire]
- Bret Maverick: Well, they got us pinned flater than a brown tick on a white dog.
- [Mary Lou follows Bret and Tom to the showdown]
- Bret Maverick: What's she doing out there?
- Tom Guthrie: I made the mistake of telling her she couldn't come.
- Tom Guthrie: For a man who hates violence, you came pretty well heeled.
- Bret Maverick: With Ramsey Bass around, I don't want more of that violence happening to me.
- Bret Maverick: Pappy always told me to stay clear of men who promise no regrets and here I am throwin' a rope to one.
- Bret Maverick: As my old pappy used to say, "It's a wise coyote that lets a rabbit run into his mouth" and I think Sweetwater's got room for this old coyote.
