Marshal Curly Wilcox Come busting in here - you'd think we were being attacked! You can find another wife.
Sure I can find another wife. But she take my rifle and my horse. Oh, I'll never sell her. I love her so much. I beat her with a whip and she never get tired.
Your wife?
No, my horse. I can find another wife easy, yes, but not a horse like that!
If I was you, I'd let them shoot it out.
Marshal Curly Wilcox Let who?
Luke Plummer and the Kid. There would be a lot more peace in this territory if that Luke Plummer had so many holes in him he couldn't hold his liquor.
Marshal Curly Wilcox You, Doc?
I'm not only a philosopher, sir, I'm a fatalist. Somewhere, sometime, there may be the right bullet or the wrong bottle waiting for Josiah Boone. Why worry when or where?
Marshal Curly Wilcox Yes or no?
Having that philosophy, sir, I've always courted danger. During the late war - when I had the honor to serve the Union under our great president, Abraham Lincoln... and General Phil Sheridan - well, sir, I fought mid shot and shell and cannon roar...
Marshal Curly Wilcox Do you wanna go back or not?
No! I want another drink.
Marshal Curly Wilcox How 'bout you, Mr. Hancock?
Peacock. I'd like to go on, brother. I want to reach the bosom of my dear family in Kansas City, Kansas as quickly as possible; but, I may never reach that bosom if we go on... so, under the circumstances - you understand, brother - I think it best we go back with the bosoms... I mean the soldiers.
