The Deputy (TV Series)

The Deathly Quiet (1961)

Henry Fonda: Chief Marshal Simon Fry

Quotes 

• Marshal Simon Fry : Why all this hocus-pocus about a few army rifles?

  Sergeant Hapgood Tasker : It weren't just a few army rifles. They were Gatling guns - the newest model! Why, you could spray bullets with 'em. They hire a thousand rounds a minute!

  Deputy Clay McCord : How many were there?

  Sergeant Hapgood Tasker : Only two.

  Deputy Clay McCord : *Only* two? According to you, they'd give two men the fire power of a whole brigade!

• [while Sarge and Clay and a dozen army men defended empty wagons from the Gatling gun gang, Simon drove a buillion filled cart to the railroad depot by himself] 

  Deputy Clay McCord : There's not much chance of you makin' a bad guess, Simon.

  Marshal Simon Fry : Well, the reckon ain't one hundred percent. It's the bad guesses you remember when you're wheelin' a long on a grub wagon full of buillion with two days of travel ahead of ya. Maybe you're just as glad you are alone in case your schemin' went sour.
