Sheriff Lem Watson
- Sheriff Lem Watson: Been holding a cell for you for quite awhile, Maverick.
- Bret Maverick: Well, I guess that beats dangling from a limb of a tree. But not much.
- Sheriff Lem Watson: The people of Medicine Bow want me to thank you for gettin' back their money, and they asked me to tell you that they'd be willin' to part with some of it at most any poker table in town... if you'd care to hang around for a while.
- Bret Maverick: Uh, no thanks. When you mention that word "hang", I get itchy feet.
- Sheriff Lem Watson: So you're Bret Maverick.
- Bret Maverick: I'm beginning to wish I wasn't.
- Sheriff Lem Watson: You'll wish you wasn't when the law gets through with ya.
- Sheriff Lem Watson: Your trial's gonna be a short one.
- Bret Maverick: Then what?
- Sheriff Lem Watson: Then... they'll hang ya.
- Bret Maverick: But you, you stopped a lynch mob from doin' that outside.
- Sheriff Lem Watson: They was tryin' to lynch ya, a legal hangin's different.
- Bret Maverick: Not to the hang-ee.
- Sheriff Lem Watson: I'll go call on Luke Abigor, see if he'll take ya on.
- Bret Maverick: Oh, Sheriff, don't tell him I got $4,000. I may be needin' some of it later.
- Sheriff Lem Watson: I don't know what for, town'll give ya a decent burial.
