Quotes3

  • [referring to a newspaper headline which reads "'Get Out of Town' District Attorney Tells Beer Barons"]
  • B.H. 'Butch' Owens: That's bad publicity for my business!
  • New York City Dist. Atty. Brent: You've been reading the funny papers again, Owens.
  • B.H. 'Butch' Owens: Look here, Brent, you can't get away with this! You can't put me...
  • New York City Dist. Atty. Brent: I can't... but I will. You and every rat that hasn't found a hole to crawl into when that deadline is up.
  • B.H. 'Butch' Owens: I've heard that before - just around election time.
  • New York City Dist. Atty. Brent: Yes, but get this, Owens - you're a candidate right now for that "hot seat" at The Big House. And if you're in town by this time tomorrow, you're as good as elected.
  • [Owens orders a henchman to shoot Martin Kildare's cattle]
  • B.H. 'Butch' Owens: Here's where beef goes down. Let 'em have it!
  • Al: [pulls out a machine gun and aims it at the herd] I'll play my best tune.
  • Jimmy 'Breezy' Kildare: [punches Owens] So you're tough, eh?
  • [punches him again]
  • Jimmy 'Breezy' Kildare: You can dish it out, but you can't take it! Well, you're in a country now where you got to take it. Here's a little of what you gave to me!
  • [hits him again]
  • B.H. 'Butch' Owens: Don't I get a break?
  • Jimmy 'Breezy' Kildare: You bet you don't! There's no lawyers here to pull a habeus corpus... but there's a gang here who can pull a rope! Get up.
  • B.H. 'Butch' Owens: Give me a break!
  • Walrus: Surrre, we'll give you a break. We'll give you a rope and a tree that ain't never been used before.
