- Bart Maverick: My pappy always told me, "Any man who needs to make out a will just isn't spending his money properly."
- Bart Maverick: Doc, help me!

- Bart Maverick: [narrating] Lots of people lose things like wallets or watches, maybe. I'd even lost a few poker games. But these two chaps have lost something a bit larger and they're pretty upset about it. The big fellow is Tim Hardesty. He's a Wells Fargo agent for Cut Bank, Kansas. The well-dressed gentleman is Amos Skinner. And if he looks like a railroad president, it's because he is one. Yeah, Skinner and Hardesty had lost something. They've lost a... train. Engine, tender, express car, coach and diner vanished... without a trace. Ridiculous, you say? I'd have said so, too. Except for one thing. When that train left Whipsaw at noon, heading west, I was on it.

- Modesty Blaine: No. After all, it just wouldn't be right. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for us.
- Doc Holliday: Well, 'twas all our fault.
- Bart Maverick: Uh, the ten-thousand dollars that Brady just gave me would have nothing to do with your friendship.
- Doc Holliday: Well, it just might have helped hasten the decision.
- Modesty Blaine: Yes, it did.
- Doc Holliday: Shall we?
