- [Lofty drags one member of the outlaw gang into his jail]
- Tagg Oakley: That's Simpson, all right, but what happened to the others?
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: Crawled into a hole.
- 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: 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.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: Give Cy a break, will ya, for the kid's sake.
- Ed Cunningham: Why that old longhorn, if he don't...
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: [Lofty slugs him to the ground] Maybe I shoulda said please.
- Ed Cunningham: Sure, Deputy, seeing as you put it that way.
- 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: 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.
