Jefferson Durain:
Why hesitate, Mike? You only have three choices - leave the town, stay here and probably get killed or work for me.

Michael Halliday:
I don't like to make decisions. Besides, my mind is occupied with making money.

Jefferson Durain:
Oh, Mike, there's plenty of it here. Look, there will be thirty, maybe forty thousand men coming through this town - my town. And it will stay my town as long as there's a thin dime to be taken from these slick-haired, rainbow-chasing greenhorns.

Michael Halliday:
I'm thinking of the five hundred I started with and the three thousand dollars that was in the pot. Now anybody that plays poker like you do can just pull an ace right out of his sleeve.

[Mike demonstrates]

Michael Halliday:
Maybe you don't think I'm entitled to the entire three thousand dollars, but I'm sure you'll agree I'm entitled to my five hundred.

[pulls a derringer from his pocket]

Jefferson Durain:
Oh, Mike.

[Jeff hands Mike five hundred dollar bills]

Michael Halliday:
As for the rest of the money, I'll get that back, too, in cash, gold or trouble - you choose which.
