Romany Roundup: Part 1 (1965)

Gary Merrill: Aaron Shields

Quotes 

• Jason McCord : I don't think anyone's out to get you, Mr Shields. It's just that you were given certain land grants some years ago and it seems you outgrew them.

  Aaron Shields : So what? Maybe I did take ten times what the government gave me. Well, it's the same thing the government did with the Indians and they didn't do a blessed thing about it. I took that land and made something good out of it. I took that alkaline that attacks this land and turned it into a rich horse and cattle country.

• Aaron Shields : I know him. He's a muck-raking, self-righteous, crusading politician.

• Jason McCord : ON WHAT CHARGE?

  Aaron Shields : I could name a hundred. First off you polluted my creek this morning.

  Jason McCord : I DID WHAT?

  Aaron Shields : That'll do for openers. When the Sheriff checks that one out, I'll start naming the others. I said, arrest him.

  Kolyan - Gypsy Leader : You call this justice. This is the law of one gorgas and his guns.
