Clay Gipson: Do you really think Tris Hatten's dead? Sheriff Wade Addams: He's supposed to be, according to the legend. Of course, that legend's as phony as a brass good piece. It's the worst kind of killer that would shoot a man in the back just as soon as look at him. I kinda hope he's dead. - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)

Sheriff Wade Addams: A wasted shot cost many a fellow his life. Now, speed's important, but you gotta hit what you're aimin' at, too, you know. - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)

Sheriff Wade Addams: There's a few punchin' jobs open. George Barlow: We don't like nursemaidin' cows. Hard on the hands. Earl Barlow: Never did like rope burns. Sheriff Wade Addams: Well, on the hands they're not so bad, but on *other* parts of the body, they'd be kind of irritating. - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)

Sheriff Wade Addams: You hit bad? Tris Hatten: Ain't going to live to get hung. You call that bad? - Raymond Burr in The Brass Legend (1956)

Millie Street: Be careful this time, Tris. There are pictures all over the place. Tris Hatten: I know. Five thousand dollars, dead or alive, for the slaying of Sheriff Bates and his deputies. A sheriff as slow on the draw as old Bates deserved to die; him and those deputies of his. I did the county a favorb gettin' rid of those yellow-bellies. - Raymond Burr in The Brass Legend (1956)

Millie Street: I wish I were a man for just an hour. I wish I were a man! [Millie throws her drink in Wade's face] Sheriff Wade Addams: I wish you were, too, Millie. - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)

Carl Barlow: We're three to your one, Sheriff. [Wade guns down two of the Barlow boys] Sheriff Wade Addams: Odds change fast, Barlow. - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)

[first lines] Clay Gipson: How's that, Wade? Hit him every time! Sheriff Wade Addams: Well, your marksmanship: not bad; but you speed, not so good. That's because you're wastin' a lot of time slappin' leather. You're wearin' your gunbelt a little too high. That's it, lower it a little. You gotta have your wrist just so it's about touchin' your gun handle. That's about right. Now watch... you watch his eyes, never his hands. [Addams puts a hole right between the eyes of Tris Hatten's wanted poster] - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)

[Hatten learns that a 12-year-old boy was responsible for his arrest] Tris Hatten: You don't think I look like the type that would go around shootin' little kids, do you? Sheriff Wade Addams: You're the type that would shoot butterflies if you thought you could hit 'em. - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)

[last lines] Clay Gipson: Wade, you got him! Sheriff Wade Addams: We'll talk about that later. [Clay's pony whinnies] Sheriff Wade Addams: You'll be riding him again soon. - Hugh O'Brian in The Brass Legend (1956)
