[Engle has paid Naylack twenty dollars to marry his daughter]

Pat Garrett:
All right, you asked for it - both of you. You know what this is? This is a law book and in it is the Constitution of the United States, its amendments and the Bill of Rights.

Sam Naylack:
So?

Sam Naylack:

Frank Engle:
The Constitution - I ain't gonna argue with that. C'mon, gimme!
