Latham Cole [At the ceremony to give a speech to the people of Colby]
My friends and citizens of Colby, I've asked you here today so you can see at firsthand what I believe to be the single most important enterprise under God. The unification of this great country of ours by iron rail. To the Comanche, I say you have nothing to fear. As long as there is peace between us, all the land treaties shall be honored. But to the outlaw, those who prey upon the weak, make no mistake, law and order has come to the Wild West. Which is why I am bringing notorious outlaw and Indian-killer, Butch Cavendish here to Colby to hang for his crimes. The future is bright, ladies and gentlemen, and it's just around the bend.
