The Stranger: Jack Wright? For some reason or other that name sounds familiar.
Jack Wright: Yeah, it should. I'm the local hero.
The Stranger: You don't say.
Jack Wright: You're looking at the man who shot the notorious Alvin Dennis from a distance of half a mile... with a slingshot.

Bob Dennis: I'm sick of these two-bit towns. What's wrong with a place like Abilene for instance?
Alvin Dennis: Everything, as far as we're concerned.
Bob Dennis: They're bound to have a lot of cash on hand. They've got to pay off the trail drives.
Alvin Dennis: That's just it. Where's there's a lot of cash, there's a lot of guns.
Bob Dennis: We're not exactly amateurs.
Alvin Dennis: That's why we're alive. And we'll stay that way as long as we stick to the small towns.
