Death Valley Days1952

Bear River Smith:
They hung a badge on me up in Bear River country because I used to be a cop in New York and then I forgot what I learned walking a beat in the Bowery. I don't care whether you call him a cop or a marshal - a man who is hired to protect the public has no right to elect himself judge or jury

Prentiss:
Well, this is a gun town, Marshal.

Bear River Smith:
And it will be - as long as you hire guns and hang badges on them.
