- Lieutenant Lowery: Mr. Hollister, do you have something I can open this with?
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Oh, sure.

- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Very efficient.
- [last lines]
- Harris Claibourne: Well, it looks like another unexciting day.
- [gunshots are fired outside the jail]
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Harris, would you do me a favor? Never say that again!
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: How's it been around here?
- Harris Claibourne: Oh, a real quiet day.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Oh? I heard there was some shooting.
- Harris Claibourne: Oh, somebody tried to rob Enoch Ward's store this morning. Ward put the run on him.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Nobody gets killed, so it's a quiet day?

- [discussing Captain Emerson]
- Ellen the Telegrapher: He didn't do it.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: And just *how* do you know he didn't do it?
- Ellen the Telegrapher: Ohhh, a woman's intuition.
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: Well, I wish you'd use a little more of that woman's intuition and tell me who did.
- [King pulls out his pistol and lays it on the table]
- Sheriff Clay Hollister: I said you could make it easy on yourself.

- Sheriff Clay Hollister: That's just the way you'll get it.
