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!

Sergeant Hapgood Tasker : Clay, why Gatling guns? They're big; they're clumsy. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would steal one.
Deputy Clay McCord : Well, not to go duck huntin', that's for sure.

Sergeant Hapgood Tasker : Deception is one of the basic rules of battle tactics. You hit on a dandy scheme, Mr. McCord, and I'm one leader that ain't afraid to take a chance on something new.
