Sheriff of Tombstone (1941)

Brett Starr: Good mornin'! I didn't expect to see you here, Miss, ah...
Mary Carson: Carson! I live here.
Granny Carson: It's never a good mornin' for sheriffs on the Carson claim. Now git and git fast!
Brett Starr: I'm not only Sheriff, ma'am, but I aim to be a peace officer.
Granny Carson: Then why are you hidin' behind that shotgun? And why is that old goat hidin' behind them moth-eaten whiskers?
Judge Gabby Whittaker: Madam, I'll have you know that this hirsute is free of habitation.
Granny Carson: Why don't you buy yourself a snood?
Judge Gabby Whittaker: This old wildcat's as bad as Sal. Now keep your shirt on! I mean... don't get yourself in a tizzle.

[Brett picks up a bridal veil]
Brett Starr: I want to buy that for...
Mary Carson: Annie? Why she won't be wearing one of those for years.
Brett Starr: We'll save it for her. And with you only wearing it once...
Mary Carson: Why, Brett! It will be just as good as new!

[Shotgun Cassidy barges out of the telegraph office with a message in his hand]
Brett Starr: It must be important, Cassidy. Now if you could only read it...
Shotgun Cassidy: You keep your pryin' nose out of my business.
Brett Starr: That's what I'm doin'. I'm goin' to retire officially now.
Shotgun Cassidy: Yeah? Well, I'm retirin' myself. Leastways I'm leavin' town.
Brett Starr: Me, too. Dodge City's goin' to be kind of lonesome without us.
Shotgun Cassidy: I'll be glad to take a partin' shot at you to liven things up!
Brett Starr: When I go into shootin' just to take the quiet out of the air, Cassidy, I'll look you up.
