  • Shemp: How do you spell that?
  • Cantrell: Correctly.
  • Cantrell: Why did you call me up here?
  • John Herod: Well, I wanted to ask you one simple question. Who brought you here to fight me?
  • Cantrell: [laughing] Mr. Herod. I'm just a gentleman adventurer, moseying into town for the challenge of a gunfight.
  • John Herod: I thought Ace Hanlon was the hired gun. I was so sure of it. But he was just a buffoon. You're not.
  • Cantrell: My name's Clay Cantrell, and I'm a shootist. I've killed 17 men. Killing is purely a business proposition for me. Doesn't give me any pleasure. My employer's confidential. Now... do we have business together today?
