Quotes
-
Marshal Micah Torrance : You're making a mistake.
Lucas McCain : No, this is my town and Fred was my friend. I didn't ask for it, but it came. I'll handle it.
Marshal Micah Torrance : You're way too quick with that rifle, Lucas Boy. Forget their guns. Start thinking about men. You're riding in on nothing but the word of a stranger with an easy way and a hole in his hat.
Lucas McCain : I'll keep my eye on him.
Marshal Micah Torrance : You better. You don't know who he is or where he came from.
Lucas McCain : Well, maybe you want to come along.
Marshal Micah Torrance : Somebody should.
Lucas McCain : Stay here with Mark.

Marshal Micah Torrance : My nerve.
Lucas McCain : You're lucky, Mr. Torrance. Not many men with your reputation live long enough to take off their badges.
Marshal Micah Torrance : Don't call me lucky, son.

Sheriff Fred Tomlinson : Who is he?
Lucas McCain : I don't know, Fred. Just another old bum with with a spoonful, I guess.
Sheriff Fred Tomlinson : No. No, that's not just another old bum, Lucas. That's Micah Torrance. Not much left, but when I knew him, he was the finest peace officer on the border.
