Overland Trail1960

[Fred is pretending that he lost the key to the handcuffs locking Flip to Kate, a pretty murderess]

Marshal:
Aren't you being kind of hard on him under the circumstances?

Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly:
Depends on how you look at it, Marshal.

Marshal:
Well, a boy like Flip with a woman like that...

Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly:
That's why he had to come along on this trip. Flip's gotta grow up like the rest of us; gotta learn to tell the good from the bad.

Marshal:
But trickin' him into it...

Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly:
I know Flip - there isn't any other way. Oh, he'll be mad; might even do something... I don't know. One thing I do know - he'll learn a lesson, even if it's a hard one. You know, most of the time when I play tricks on Flip, it's just for fun. Sometimes I do it for his own good. This is one of those times.
