Abbie Irving: Mr. Hatton isn't interested in the lives of innocent people. Why should he care what happens to you and your families, your struggle to make a living in a decent city? What Dodge City needs is a man with a sense of public pride and the courage to back it up by shooting it out with men of equal skill. But Mr. Hatton's bavery consists of gunfights with impulsive boys!

Alan Hale Sr.
Rusty Hart: You couldn't keep Wade here, Colonel. He's the most 'movin' on' man you ever saw. First off, he was in the English army over in India. Then he got mixed up in some kind of a hu-rah Revolution down in Cuba way. Then he started punchin' cattle in Texas, that is, of course, before he enlisted in the war. So, you see, he's either the greatest traveler ever lived, or else he is the biggest lier!
