Dan Jones
- Dan Jones: Rena, the bond between the sheriff and me is the strongest bond possible between two human beings.
- Rena Mitchell: Oh, what's that?
- Dan Jones: Money, my love.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: I've heard a little more about your reputation, and I'm quite sure owing me an umbrella isn't going to hurt it one bit.
- Dan Jones: Mrs. Rogers, I'm trying to improve.
- Sheriff John Yoss: Before we head south we're going to play a round of stud to see who escorts the gal. Like to take a hand?
- Dan Jones: No thanks, I'm a gambler, not a wrangler.
- Dan Jones: I think I oughta warn you, Mrs. Rogers. The, uh, sheriff may not like this
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: Splendid.
- Dan Jones: You wouldn't wanna hit a woman now, would you sheriff?
- Sheriff Burns: In self-defense, why not?
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: Could I go prospecting with you?
- Dan Jones: Well, since you went to the trouble to dress for the occasion, how could I say no.
- Dan Jones: Well, sheriff, if you celebrate tonight, you'll go down in history as the best loser Charleyville ever had.
- Dan Jones: I don't wanna see you makin' enemies.
- Sheriff Burns: I can handle them. It's my friends I'm worried about.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: Oh, Pat, I'm so glad you're here. Do you know Dan Jones?
- Pat Collins: I'm gettin' to know him better every minute. This is Rena Mitchel - friend of Dan's.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: Oh?
- Pat Collins: [nodding to Lucretia] Lu Rogers.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: I'm pleased to meet you, Miss Mitchell.
- Rena Mitchell: Thank you.
- Dan Jones: This place seems to be catching on. Won't you folks join us?
- Pat Collins: Don't mind if I do.
- Dan Jones: Now, Mrs. Rogers, this is no time to be self-conscious. We must think of ourselves as survivors of a ship wreck cast up on a desert island.
- Dan Jones: Now, can I buy you a drink?
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: Are you inviting me into your saloon?
- Dan Jones: Certainly not. I was just on my way to the ice cream parlor.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: Really?
- Dan Jones: I love ice cream.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: What kind of sheriff is he anyway?
- Dan Jones: He's what you might call a relic of the Old West - gives color to the place.
- Dan Jones: If you're smart, you'll ignore the whole thing.
- Sheriff Burns: I sure like the way you ain't worried.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: You got me all the way up here and let me stand for hours in that icy river with your wine and with your story about how rough the trail is at night?
- Dan Jones: Lu, I was only tryin' to help ya.
- Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers: That is not what you were trying to do.
- Dan Jones: I can't let you get pneumonia. If you don't come over to this fire, I'll come and get you.
- Sheriff Burns: You figurin' on gettin' rid of me, Dan?
- Dan Jones: I don't know what you're talking about.
- Sheriff Burns: This petition. You were there when the lady signed it, weren't you?
- Dan Jones: Yes.
- Sheriff Burns: And you let her?
- Dan Jones: Well sheriff, you can't expect everyone to like you as much as I do.
