Quotes 

• Marshal Lightning Tyrone : How about joining the posse, Johnny? It would give you a chance to use that shooting iron legal for a change.

• Marshal Lightning Tyrone : Just a minute! I'm probably wasting my breath, but I'm going to give you some advice. Get out of town pronto. Get yourself a job and quit poker. Poker is a man's game.

  Luke Cromwell - The Silver Kid : I can take care of myself.

  Marshal Lightning Tyrone : Oh sure, I know your fast with your guns, but sooner or later you'll meet a man that's faster or that doesn't fight square and then you're off to Boot Hill. No, you're bucking a sucker's game, Kid. You can't beat it.

  Luke Cromwell - The Silver Kid : I guess that's good advice, Marshal, but I ain't takin' it. Besides, how to handle a six-gun and poker is all I know.

• Johnny Sombrero : I'm reformed, but my friend here isn't. His name is Blake from Tombstone... and he don't like marshals.

  Marshal Lightning Tyrone : Maybe there's a good reason why you don't like marshals.

  Rat Face Blake : None of 'em lived long enough for us to get acquainted.

  Marshal Lightning Tyrone : You've been meeting the wrong kind of marshals.

• Jane 'Dusty' Fargo : Lightning, Johnny has been talking big since word got around you were wounded. He figured it's bound to slow you down.

  Marshal Lightning Tyrone : I never had much respect for Johnny's figuring.

• Marshal Lightning Tyrone : [to Blake]  If you're in Silver City after sundown, Rat Face, I'll throw you in jail.

  [He throws him through store window] 

• Marshal Lightning Tyrone : Maybe this is your way of getting Rat Face back, huh? Even swap - Rat Face for Rod? That your idea, Johnny?

  Johnny Sombrero : You're scratchin' in the wrong place!

  Marshal Lightning Tyrone : The only way to turn up worms is by scratchin' for them!
