Quotes
-
LeBow : I hope these spectators don't make you nervous, Derringer.
Yancy Derringer : Why? Should they?
LeBow : Why indeed? After all, what would a duel at The Oaks be without an audience. When we face each other here, my friend, we're actors walking onto a stage.
Yancy Derringer : Are we here for a duel, Mr. LeBow, or for polite conversation?
-
John Colton : Dueling code! Dueling code! A barbarous piece of hypocricy that allows men to kill each other in so-called self-defense.
Yancy Derringer : It's an old institution, Mr. Colton.
John Colton : So is hanging, Mr. Derringer!
-
Captain Fry : Last night, the overseer was told to pick up a coffin at LeBow's house by noon today, drive it to the churchyard and bury it.
John Colton : Who gave him that message?
Captain Fry : The dead man.
John Colton : Lorme? Ordering his own funeral?
Yancy Derringer : Yes, Mr. Colton. Mr. Lorme thought he was ordering the fake funeral for his partner.
John Colton : And then what happened?
Yancy Derringer : Well, there was evidently a change in plans and Mr. Lorme wasn't informed.

[Yancy needs Jody to pick the locks on his handcuffs]
Yancy Derringer : Would you have Jeremiah go get Jody Barker and bring him here?
Madame Francine : That pickpocket!
Yancy Derringer : I'm not interested in his morals, just his skill.

[last lines]
John Colton : I presume this is Mr. LeBow?
Yancy Derringer : That's right. Last time we had the right coffin but the wrong man. Do you think you can straighten it out this time?
John Colton : I'm sure I can. Thank you.
Yancy Derringer : My pleasure.
