Quotes 

• Bret Maverick : As my old pappy always told me, "Son, it's not how fast you draw that counts. It's what you draw and when you draw."

• Holly Vaughn : A man is coming here to kill you!

  Bret Maverick : So I hear.

  Holly Vaughn : You men. You and your code. Like a lot of silly school boys trying to prove how brave you are. Well, it isn't bravery. It's stupidity, viciousness, and selfishness. No thought for the women who are left behind while you're out slaughtering each other. And for what? Pride? Stupid, silly pride. A man is coming here to kill you. Why, why must you stay here and face him?

  Bret Maverick : Who's staying?

  [Burgess brings Bart into the Sheriff's office to claim a bounty] 

  Bret Maverick : Well, hello there, Brother Bart.

  Bart Maverick : Bret, what's going on around here, anyway?

  Burgess : Here he is, sheriff, Bart Maverick, wanted for robbery and murder.

  Burgess : [to Bret]  I bet you thought I'd fall for that yarn about your brother being in Canyon City. You know, once bitten. Well, finally I got around to asking a few questions about where he really was. Here he is.

  Bret Maverick : Yeah, he sure is. You know, Mr. Burgess, I think you're just too smart for me. Yeah. Well, so long, Mr. Burgess. Come on, Smoky. See you, Brother Bart.

  Bart Maverick : Hey now, Bret, wait a minute.

• Smoky Vaughn : Well, you wouldn't shoot anyone in the back.

  Bret Maverick : It's the safest place.

• Bret Maverick : Miss Vaughn, any time you want to find out how fast a man can run, lend him money.
