George Montgomery Quotes:

Larry: There ain't nothin' in the wagon but a dead man.
[leaping up from a half-dug grave]
Dan Tomlinson aka Will Sabre: That's right - dead one's in the wagon and the live one's here in the grave.


Bob Andrews: Listen, Steve, I've been wanting to talk to you about the crew.
Steve Patrick: Well, what about 'em.
Bob Andrews: Why didn't you tell me they're all a bunch of gunslingers and outlaws.
Steve Patrick: I didn't think it made any difference to you. It doesn't to me as long as they do their job. How did you find out anyway?
Bob Andrews: They didn't make any secret of it. I heard them talking about it.
Steve Patrick: Oh?
Bob Andrews: Listen, I don't trust them. Suppose you got into some kind of trouble... Indians or rustlers?
Steve Patrick: If anything like that happened here, there is nobody I'd rather have on my side than Lynch and his men. Sure, they are gunmen, but that's the kind of men you need in emergencies.
Bob Andrews: If they stick by you.
Steve Patrick: They'll stick. They're good men. Now just forget the fact that they might once have been outlaws. They're all right.


Dan Tomlinson aka Will Sabre: Look, I told you I'd be back one of these days.
Judy: It's been over two years, Will. Not that I don't know what you've been doing. You make very good news!
Dan Tomlinson aka Will Sabre: I've quit.
