Thundering Trails

Johnny Brooke, Stony's brother:
Where'd they get you, Dad?

Captain Sam Brooke, Stony's father:
Where they have to get most Rangers - in the back!

Stony Brooke:
That must be the party we were invited to!

Tucson Smith:
They moved in pretty fast, didn't they?

Stony Brooke:
Looks like they're giving Johnny featured billing.

Judge Morgan:
Looks like that three-man jury is going to give us a bad verdict.

Mollison:
Want me to handle the case, Judge?

Judge Morgan:
Yes - it does need special handling. In this case, we'll overrule the usual procedure. Ben Walker is going to be raided before he refuses.

Mollison:
I ain't particular - before or after!

Stony Brooke:
Has Walker shown up yet?

Jailer:
Nope. I told you I'd let you know the minute he does.

Lullaby Joslin:
He sure picked a good time to play hide-and-go-seek.

Lullaby Joslin:
That figuring just about leaves us out on a limb.

Stony Brooke:
Yeah - and dangling from ropes!

Jailer:
Where'd they go?

Lullaby Joslin:
Fellows, I got it - all we got to do is find the termite who whittles his own toothpicks.

Stony Brooke:
What are you doing?

Lullaby Joslin:
Doc forgot to pay me for my singing, so I'm taking it out in trade.

Stony Brooke:
Take one for our *friend*. If he doesn't talk he'll need some pain killer.
