• [the lynch mob breaks into the Tombstone jail and confronts Claibourne, the newspaper editor, who's whielding a shotgun] 

  Jess Buckhorn : What are you doing here, Editor?

  Harris Claibourne : Just reporting the news... as it occurs. I've got a fitting headline for tomorrow's edition of the Epitaph - "Lynch Law Returns to Tombstone". "Thanks to one it's leading citizens, attorney Fred Griffin, this edition marks the probable death of the town once called 'too tough to die'."

• Jess Buckhorn : They're gone! Where are they?

  Harris Claibourne : I thought you were the one with all the answers, Griffin.

• Jess Buckhorn : Aren't you goin' to do somethin', Griffin?

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : Come on, Buckhorn.

  Jess Buckhorn : No, wait a minute. He hired me to make trouble for the indians.

  Fred Griffin : He's lying. Would you take the word of a drifter?

  Jess Buckhorn : I was no drifter when you needed my gun to get the indian lands so you could sell it to the railroads.

  Sheriff Clay Hollister : [to Griffin]  You're a smart lawyer. You should know the penalty for persecution and fraud, not to mention inciting a lynch mob. Will you join us, Mr. Griffin?
