A scene from Destry Rides Again 1939
Destry

I've seen hundreds like you all the way from Jacksonville to Sacramento. And you all think easy pickin's will last forever.

Frenchy

You'd better mind your own business or you're heading for trouble.

Destry

Trouble is my business.

Frenchy

Well, you'll have plenty from me. I do as I like in this town - understand? And anyone who gets in my way is taken care of.

Destry

Like they took care of Keogh?

Frenchy

Yes, just like that.

Destry

That's what I thought.

Frenchy

What do you think you're going to do?

Destry

Don't get scared.

Frenchy

I'm not scared of anything, and you keep your mouth shut and get out of town before it's too late for you.

Destry

Oh now come on, I don't think you're half as bad as you make out to be.

Frenchy

Never mind what I am.

Destry

I'll bet you've got kind of a lovely face under all that paint, huh? Why don't you wipe it off someday and have a good look - and figure out how you can live up to it.
