Across the Sierras

Larry Armstrong:
Maybe you gentlemen would like to meet an old friend of mine - Bill Hickok.

Mac Fawcett:
Hickok? Not Wild Bill Hickok?

Wild Bill Hickok:
Well, folks have to gotten to call me "Wild", but between us, I'm a mighty peaceable man.

Wild Bill Hickok:
You know, Larry, I never could figure out how one man could stir up so much trouble.

Larry Armstrong:
Yeah, well, I never could figure out how one man could end it so fast.

Wild Bill Hickok:
That would be a mistake to draw first. You'd better wait until my back is turned.

Wild Bill Hickok:
I see you're still not careful of the company you keep.

Mitch Carew:
That's right... otherwise, what would I be doin' standin' here talkin' to you?

Wild Bill Hickok:
I can't do much about your murderin' Dan Woodworth, but I want you to remember I'm not wearin' a badge anymore and if you or anyone else causes trouble, there's only one judge I have to listen to...

[points to his pistol]

Wild Bill Hickok:
Judge Colt.

Wild Bill Hickok:
Larry's been a mighty good friend to me since we ran away from school together. He comes from good, solid frontier stock. I'd be a pretty poor friend to sit by and watch him make a mistake which might be his last.

Ann Woodworth:
You set a lot of store by that, don't you?

Wild Bill Hickok:
What do you mean?

Ann Woodworth:
Why, Larry coming from fine frontier stock - that whole Western code that everyone out here seems to live by.

Wild Bill Hickok:
After a while, you'll get to believe it just like we do. You'll find that out here, it's the next best thing to a decent religion.

Ann Woodworth:
I wonder

Stringer:
Hey, are you going to let him get away with that?

Mitch Carew:
Oh, what do you think?

Stringer:
Why, if he said those things to me...

Mitch Carew:
Yeah, sure - sure you would. They'd be draggin' you out of here right now feet first. Now with me, it's different. I'm in no hurry. Now it's like with that glass of whiskey. Some of you go toss it right off; I like to pick it up and let the light show through it... smell it... that way it builds up my appetite. That way, when I finally do get it, it's really a pleasure.

Lu Woodworth:
A life that ain't worth fightin' for ain't worth havin'!

[last lines]

Wild Bill Hickok:
Ann, I came in to say goodbye. You were right about me. Whether I promise or not, I could never make you happy. You and me just have different ways of living. I guess you just can't teach an old dog new tricks. Goodbye.

Cannonball:
And me goin' to all that trouble to learn that gol' darn weddin' piece!
