Harvey
That's funny...Kane and his new wife just took off in a big hurry...Hey, you don't suppose Kane's scared of those three gunnies...I never saw him whip a horse that way.

Harvey
If you'd gone with a new Marshal not due here 'til tomorrow, I'd be in charge around here, right?...If I'm good enough to hold down a job when there's trouble, how come the city fathers didn't trust me with it permanently?
Kane
I don't know.
Harvey
Don't ya?
Kane
No.
Harvey
That's funny. I figured you carried a lot of weight.
Kane
Maybe they didn't ask me. Maybe they figured you were too young.
Harvey
Do you think I'm too young too?
Kane
You sure act like it sometimes. Come on.
Harvey
It's very simple, Will. All you've got to do is tell the old boys when they come that I'm the new marshal. And tomorrow, they can tell the other fella they're sorry but the job's filled.
Kane
You really mean it, don't ya?
Harvey
Sure.
Kane
Well, I can't do it.
'Harvey: Why not?
Kane
If you don't know, it's no use me tellin' ya.
Harvey
You mean you won't do it.
Kane
Have it your way.
Harvey
All right. The truth is, you probably talked against me from the start. You've been sore about me and Helen Ramirez right along, ain't ya?
Kane
You and Helen Ramirez? It so happens I didn't know, and it doesn't mean anything to me one way or the other. You ought to know that.
Harvey
Yeah, you've been washed up for more than a year. You go out and get yourself married, only you can't stand anybody takin' your place there, can ya, especially me?
Harvey
Why should he have gone for it? He needs me. He'll need me plenty when Frank Miller gets here...He should've had me made Marshal to begin with. He's just sore is all, sore about you and me.
Harvey
[Helen kicks him out for talking about their relationship]
Who did the walking out anyway, you or him?...You're gonna talk different when Frank Miller gets here. You might want somebody around you then when you try to explain to him about Kane.
Helen
I can take care of myself.
Harvey
Sure, only from what I've heard you might not be so pretty when he gets through with ya. I won't be back.
Helen
Good.
Harvey
Ya scared?
Kane
I guess so.
Harvey
Sure, it stands to reason. [Harvey saddles a horse]
Kane
Seems like all everybody and his brother wants is to get me out of town.
Harvey
Nobody wants to see you get killed. [Kane turns to leave] Hold it, where are you going?
Kane
I don't know. Back to the office, I guess.
Harvey
Oh no. You're gettin' on that horse and you're gettin' out. [He grabs Kane] What's the matter with you? You were ready to do it yourself. You said so.
Kane
Look, Harv. I thought about it because I was tired. You think about a lot of things when you're tired. But I can't do it.
Harvey
Why?
Kane
I don't know.
Harvey
Get on that horse, Will!
Kane
Why is it so important to you? You don't care if I live or die.
Harvey
Come on.
Kane
Don't shove me, Harv, I'm tired of being shoved.
