Harry Morgan: Doc Amos B. Coogan

Quotes 

• Doc Amos B. Coogan : [identifying the blood on Tim's boots as cow's blood]  I don't expect it helps you any, Tim Riley working for the Munson Cattle Company. There's nothing unusual about him getting cow's blood on his boots.

  Hec Ramsey : Well, I don't know, Doc. See, the Munson Cattle Company doesn't do any slaughterin'.

• Doc Amos B. Coogan : I pulled the tooth ten minutes ago.

  Hec Ramsey : Well, he purely seems to be enjoying the anesthetic.

• [a fully dressed man lies dead on his bed with wet blood stains on the sole of one boot] 

  Hec Ramsey : Now, a man tryin' to get from that door to that bed, would you say he'd have to step on that rug?

  Chief Oliver Stamp : He'd almost have to.

  Hec Ramsey : Well, take a look at the rug. There's no blood on it, and the blood on his boots are still wet.

  Doc Amos B. Coogan : Are you sayin' Tim Riley didn't walk to the bed?

  Hec Ramsey : That's right. He was carried there.

  Chief Oliver Stamp : Why would they do that?

  Hec Ramsey : Well, I'm not sure, but if he had died someplace else and somebody had killed him, they'd have a pretty good reason for doin' it.

  Chief Oliver Stamp : He does look like he was just set there.

  Doc Amos B. Coogan : Yeah, the bedspread isn't even wrinkled.

  Hec Ramsey : Yeah, it's too neat.
