Stage to Blue River

[Ted and Texas have been thrown out of a saloon for fighting]

Ted Crosby:
We didn't start anything, Whip.

Marshal Whip Wilson:
Yes, I know. Same old story - you were minding your own business when somebody ran into your knuckles.

Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer:
You know you have to make a run at least one a week to hold your franchise.

Joyce Westbrook:
Yes.

Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer:
You have to carry at least one passenger on every one.

Marshal Whip Wilson:
That's right, Joyce.

Joyce Westbrook:
I didn't know that.

Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer:
It's a postal regulation. They want to make sure they're doing business with a responsible passenger-carrying stage line.

Joyce Westbrook:
I see. Well, that may stop me. People out here say they won't ride on my line if they were paid for it!

Frederick Kingsley, Lawyer:
That's understandable. Folks don't like being shot at. You may have trouble hiring drivers, too.

Marshal Whip Wilson:
Well, we'll see she won't run out of drivers.

Ted Crosby:
Texas and I can ride as passengers.

'Texas':
Sure! And if we get shot at, we'll get our money back for the tickets.

Marshal Whip Wilson:
Keep out of trouble now.

Ted Crosby:
Well, don't we always?

Marshal Whip Wilson:
Do I have to give you a short answer? No!

[Whip has just finished a fight with an outlaw]

Sheriff Bill Preston:
I ought to arrest you for disturbing the peace.

'Texas':
Why, Sheriff? Did we break up your afternoon nap?
