• Ed Larkin : What is this?

  Tom Denton : It's from District Marshal Coleman. It's his statement that Matt was wearing a marshal's badge and working with him on the day of the train robbery.

  Ed Larkin : Well this is pretty good evidence. I know Pete Coleman. Too bad you boys weren't at the trial.

  Tom Denton : At the trial? We just heard about it last week! Your justice is a lot faster than your railroad.

• Farmer : Say, did you fellows come from town?

  Tom Denton : Yeah.

  Farmer : Did you see the hangin?

  Fred Denton : Naw, we couldn't wait.

  Farmer : I couldn't make it myself. Hated to miss it.

  Matt Denton : Yeah... So did I.

• Tom Denton : You know how we got into this. We were forced to turn outlaw. All I wanted was a chance to give Laura a decent life somewhere else.

  Mrs. Denton : You mean to say you turned outlaw for Laura? Then you have no excuse for ever robbing or killing again. Laura is dead.

• Tom Denton : Fred, after today they'll forget all about the Youngers and the James boys; it'll be us! None of them ever took two places at once.

  Fred Denton : That's no reason.

  Tom Denton : It's reason enough for me now!
