Sam Flint: Cy Crawford

Quotes 

• Cy Crawford : It ain't my fault, I'm no gun fighter. It's circumstances that make a hero out of a man.

• Cy Crawford : I've got more gold in my teeth than I ever took out of the ground.

• Cy Crawford : Well, the Apache Kid drew on me but your old grandpa was too fast for him. Before you could say Doc Holliday, I slapped leather and he dropped.

  Ed Cunningham : Still spinning those tall tales, eh, Cy?

  Cy Crawford : You tend to your own business, Ed. Tagg, go on writing.

• Cy Crawford : Putting on a clean face won't make me what I ain't, Lofty. You can't wash off what's inside.

• Tim Crawford : Gosh, Grandpa, I didn't know you were digging for gold too.

  Cy Crawford : Oh, that's just a hobby, Tim. Just for relaxation when I'm all wore out from catching outlaws.

• Cy Crawford : Taking foolish chances with other people's lives don't prove nothing.

• Cy Crawford : And that night as I was laying by the campfire, I heard a voice.

  Lou Snell : Don't move, any of you. You all right, Dave.

  Dave Warren : Sure. Except I'm sick of hearing this old man's stories.

• Cy Crawford : That boy's born to the saddle, he is. Just like his own Grandpa.

  Tim Crawford : How am I doing, Grandpa? It's my first time and I'm not even scared.

  Cy Crawford : You're mighty brave, boy, keep it up. Maybe some day he'll be something I've always wanted to be, a real hero, not a make-believe one.

• Cy Crawford : Why, those no good sidewinders. On top of everything else, they're stealing my grub.

• Cy Crawford : Don't you go telling any tall tales. That can get a man into a heap of trouble.
