Quotes 

• Ben Thompson : [examining Earp's revolver]  That's a nice gun. Yeah,it wouldn't do for us Texans, though.

  [comparing barrel lengths] 

  Ben Thompson : We like ours regulation size.

  Clint Wallace : Yeah, don't ever get into an argument with a Texas man when you're carrying that thing. Must take you a half hour to clear leather with it.

  Wyatt Earp : The only arguments I've had lately have been with buffalo, and they don't draw very fast, you know.

• Clint Wallace : [a solitary figure on horseback appears in the distance]  What do you make of him, Ben?

  Ben Thompson : Well, he's no Indian.

  Clint Wallace : Could be a scout for some rustlers. This country's full of 'em.

  Ben Thompson : He's headin' this way and he's not hidin'. He's probably some pilgrim looking for a free meal.

  Clint Wallace : He's welcome to that. We're not takin' any chances.

  Ben Thompson : Al, go out and check up on that rider.

  Al : How much checkin up you want?

  Ben Thompson : Make sure he's alone, that's all. If he has got a bunch behind him we'll know in plenty of time to be ready for him.

• Ben Thompson : Has your huntin' ever taken ya anywheres near this town, Wichita, where we're headin''?

  Wyatt Earp : No, it hasn't. But, I hear it's a pretty fair-size town. Its growin' mighty fast since it became a railhead. Yours must be the first trail herd in there. You oughta get quite a welcome.

  Gyp Clements : Well, we can use it. We ain't seen a drink or a woman for a long, long time.

  Clint Wallace : Maybe some of us might even take a bath.

• Clint Wallace : We got to fatten 'em up before we wave into Wichita.

• Ben Thompson : Your kid brother's got ants, that's all. He can't wait to tear into Wichita.

  Clint Wallace : I know how he feels. I'm a little restless myself.

  Ben Thompson : Yeah, me too. Tell him to relax for a couple of days. Then we'll show him how to really take a town apart.

• Clint Wallace : I've seen a lot of trail towns come and go; but, Wichita's here to stay!

• Clint Wallace : I'll drink to that - and wild and wooly Wichita!
