Richard Boone: Hec Ramsey

Quotes 

• [thinking Nellie's dog killed the stranger, Chief Stamp locks Shamrock in the town jail] 

  Hec Ramsey : Well, Chief, if you can show me how a dog can make a fist, then I'll tell you you're entitled to keep him right where he is.

• Doc Amos B. Coogan : [explaining a placebo]  See, it's mind over matter. You tell a man that something's medicine and that it's gonna make him feel better and, by gum, it does.

  Hec Ramsey : And, by gum, you're gittin' spookier every day.
