Quotes 

• Stella Atkins : But then you're not a marshal or a sheriff.

  Jeff Castle : He's a town-tamer.

  Clint Tollinger : The difference is there are no rules in my end of the business except maybe one - never stay in one town too long.

• Stella Atkins : Those guns... all that talk about fighting... what happened to you today. I'm scared!

  Jeff Castle : Honey, you just can't keep on turning the other cheek with a cemetery as big as we've got.

• Stella Atkins : Then what are you going to do?

  Clint Tollinger : Nothing. I warned him; I thought I made it pretty clear.

  Stella Atkins : Yes, but if you warned a child and he does something foolish anyway, you try to stop him from getting hurt.

  Clint Tollinger : Oh, I see. You think Jeff is a child, huh?

  Stella Atkins : Partly...

  Clint Tollinger : Well, I think he's a man. He might be a little young and bullheaded about some things, but if there were more men like him around, I might not be here.

• Stella Atkins : How can you get rid of him just like that? So far he's done exactly what you've hired him to do. You put up the money and he put up his life!
