- Captain Jack Steele: You were right about Sanderson being a big man in this town, Happy.
- Happy: He's a plenty tough hombre too, if you ask me. I don't blame that old rancher for what he said and done.
- Captain Jack Steele: You know, Sanderson doesn't appeal to me anymore than he does to you; but, he's probably acting within his rights. You know, the law makes us do a lot of unpleasant things sometimes. Like going after this Alvarez girl.
- Captain Jack Steele: How'd you happen to get mixed up with this gang, anyway?
- Larry Corwin: Oh, a man who likes trouble and fighting usually ends up among his own kind.
- Captain Jack Steele: Sometimes. Sometimes there's a girl factored in.
- Monte: It ain't that I'm squeamish. A man's one thing; but, shooting a defenseless girl is another. After all, she ain't done me no harm.
- Ben Sanderson: Gettin' soft hearted, eh?
