• Big Mike McComb : Now, where's your horse?

  Bret Maverick : At the livery stable. Why?

  Big Mike McComb : I'll get it. You go back and pack your things and meet me here in ten minutes. You're leaving town.

  Bret Maverick : Who says so?

  Big Mike McComb : I say so. I hate funerals and love postcards. Drop me one, I'll write back and tell you all about...

  Big Mike McComb : Mind if I ride along with you, laddybuck?

  Bret Maverick : How far?

  Big Mike McComb : Wherever you're going.

  Bret Maverick : Any particular reason?

  Big Mike McComb : Well, wherever it is, something's bound to be happening. I just couldn't bear to miss it.

• Big Mike McComb : Boy, that mob out there's meat eaters and you're the meat! You gotta get outta this town!

  Bret Maverick : Just payin' two weeks rent in advance.

• Big Mike McComb : Now, you listen to me. I don't mind doin' your dirty work when there's a small profit to be made and nobody gets hurt too bad. But I ain't never murdered a man and I'll not startin' now - not for you or all the silver in this territory!
