Chief Sheriff Oliver B. Stamp:
[Stamp looks at the body of the dead boy] They scalped him alright. The savages!

Hec Ramsey, Deputy Sheriff:
Hey, you know where Indians picked up that little trick, scalpin'?

Chief Sheriff Oliver B. Stamp:
No.

Hec Ramsey, Deputy Sheriff:
From the white man.

Chief Sheriff Oliver B. Stamp:
I don't believe it.

Hec Ramsey, Deputy Sheriff:
You don't wanna believe it. You ever hear of the Iroquois tribes back east, New England?

Chief Sheriff Oliver B. Stamp:
Yes.

Hec Ramsey, Deputy Sheriff:
Well, the very first settlers - the Puritans themselves - they put a bounty on those Indians. But it would've been a lot of trouble to bring in a whole Indian, so they found an easy way - just cut and jerk on the hair and ya get your bounty money.
