[Abbie laughs at Wade after he falls in the newspaper office]

Wade Hatton:
You know, there's an old saying in the British Army: "The law must always save its face in front of the natives."

Abbie Irving:
And what if the natives object to its face?

Wade Hatton:
We just put them across our knee... and spank them! Soundly!

Abbie Irving:
You're not suggesting that I'm a native?

Wade Hatton:
No. The only real native of Kansas is the buffalo. He's got a very hard head, a very uncertain temper and a very lonely future. Apart from that there's hardly any comparison between you.
