Dorothy Granger: Skagway Kate
Quotes
-
Skagway Kate : Sergeant Royal, what brings you over the line into Alaska? You can't make a pinch over here, you know.
Sgt. Christopher Royal : You ought to be the marshal, Kate. You run everything else around here: employment agency, gun licenses, game licenses. Why not the law?
Skagway Kate : Why, I'd never do. I'm too soft-hearted.

[Sergeant Royal rummages through a murdered miner's personal effects]
Sgt. Christopher Royal : There's nothing much to help here. The only unusual thing is an ancient Chinese coin.
Skagway Kate : Chinese it may be, but I wouldn't give you a drink for it. It's got a hole in in it.
'Oldtimer' Meggs : Let me see that coin. You know, there's an old story about a treasure ship belonging to a Chinese emperor. Came ashore in these parts looking for treasure. That was way back in the dark ages.
Sgt. Christopher Royal : I know that yarn! The treasure ship of Genghis Kahn...
'Oldtimer' Meggs : Yeah, that's the fella.
Skagway Kate : Well, if all the legends about Genghis Kahn were true, his ships landed everywhere in the world before Columbus was born.
