- Dr. Edith Cabot: My father was killed, Mr. Andrews, because he tried to use a gun against a man instead of reasoning with him. If he hadn't worn a gun, he'd still be alive.
- Tom Andrews: I'm sorry about your father. I've learned, though, that in this country if I draw faster, I keep living.
- Dynamite Dawson: Well, you was a good man once. But when a fella like you starts going soft, t'ain't long before he shakes like jelly.
- Tom Andrews: I'm quivering.
- Tom Andrews: - Tom Andrews, after crossing paths with Dr. Edith Cabot for the first time- How long has she been around here?
- Dynamite Dawson: Came in with the hospital car. Me, I don't trust no sawbones without whiskers.
- Tom Andrews: I guess it depends on how bad you feel. I can see there's going to be a lot of sick men around here from now on.
- Dynamite Dawson: Yeah, too bad you ain't gonna be around to head the parade.
