Badman's Territory1946

Sheriff Mark Rowley:
Johnny, if you were an outlaw camped down there on the creek and saw a posse coming up behind you, what would you do.

Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley:
I'd head up this cut to open country where a man could use a fresh horse.

Sheriff Mark Rowley:
Right! Now, as a deputy sheriff who's figured out the outlaw's next move.

Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley:
I'd sneak up behind those trees.

Sheriff Mark Rowley:
Right!

Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley:
And pump lead into 'em as they come up.

Sheriff Mark Rowley:
Wrong! A good officer don't kill except in self-defense. The saw says every man has a right to a fair trial.

Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley:
Outlaws? Train robbers?

Sheriff Mark Rowley:
And even murderers. No man's guilty until he's convicted. So try to take your man alive.

Deputy Sheriff Johnny Rowley:
But what if he shows fight?

Sheriff Mark Rowley:
That's different! Shoot and don't miss!
