Quotes 

• Sheriff : [having just gotten a tearful earful from his distraught wife about The Boys' having romantically harassed her on the coach]  Fiddlin', huh?

  Oliver : [absent-mindedly nods in agreement, then hastily shakes his head rapidly and forcefully, realizing that he should not be admitting to any wrongdoing] 

  Sheriff : Well... we don't like your kind around these parts! And there's one thing in this here town - - we DON'T allow! And that's messing with our women! Now, if you want to stay healthy, you'll catch the next coach out of town.

  Oliver : Yes, sir. We'll be right on our way just as soon as we finish up with our business.

  Sheriff : And if you MISS the next coach...

  Sheriff : [draws revolver] 

  Sheriff : You'll be riding out of here in a HEARSE!

  Sheriff : [slides the gun back into his holster with an angry shove]  G'day, strangers!

  [walks away huffily] 

  Stan : [with an innocently cheerful friendly wave after the departing sheriff, showing that he fails to grasp the gravity of the situation]  Goodbye...!

  Oliver : [hastiy shushing him]  Let well enough alone!

• Mickey Finn : [holding a pistol]  Now, get out of here!

  [knock on the door] 

  Mickey Finn : Who's there?

  Sheriff : The sheriff.

  Sheriff : And you're just the man I'm looking for.

  Ollie : Oh thank you, this man -

  [Ollie recognizes the Sheriff whose wife was pestered by Stan and Ollie in the stagecoach] 

  Ollie : Ohhh!

  [Stan laughs hysterically] 

  Sheriff : [Ollie taps Stan on the shoulder, he stops laughing]  I thought I told you two dudes to catch the next coach out of town.

  Ollie : [meekly]  Yes, sir.

  Sheriff : Well, it left ten minutes ago.

  Ollie : It did? Well, maybe we'd better try and catch it.

  Sheriff : Well, I'd say you'd better!

  [the Sheriff fires his guns, chasing Stan and Ollie out of town]
