Frenchy Beaumont
- Red Ryder: You're the first duelist I've ever known, Frenchy. How does a man go about getting into a duel?
- Frenchy Beaumont: I don't understand.
- Red Ryder: Well, isn't there some sort of formality about the way you duelists issue challenges - like throwing a glass of wine in your opponent's face or slapping him with a glove?
- Frenchy Beaumont: [chuckling] Really, Ryder, really... .
- Red Ryder: Well, you take Gerry Brooks. He didn't know any more about this duelist's code than I do. How'd you get him to accept your challenge.
- Frenchy Beaumont: To the best of my recollection, he made some comments in public reflecting on my reputation. Being a gentleman of honor, naturally, I resented it.
- Red Ryder: Naturally, being a gentleman, you kept your temper under control.
- Frenchy Beaumont: No, Ryder, I rather believe I lost control momentarily, and hit him.
- Red Ryder: [slaps Frenchy with a glove] With a glove?
- Frenchy Beaumont: ...Without a glove.
- Red Ryder: Well, that's the information I wanted. I didn't know you duelists ever hit a man just barehanded...
- [Ryder slaps Frenchy barehanded]
- Red Ryder: Like that.
- Frenchy Beaumont: Why you cowardly...
- Red Ryder: I don't think it's being a coward, Frenchy, hittin' a man who's never lost a duel.
- [Ryder has just challenged Frenchy to a duel]
- Frenchy Beaumont: That man is a fool.
- Henry W. Iverson: Yeah? I'm not so sure.
- Frenchy Beaumont: Of course he is a fool. Wouldn't a smart man rather be known as a live coward, than a dead redhead?
- [Red has been shot in his duel with Frenchy]
- Frenchy Beaumont: Hey Red! Hey Red, are you alive?
- Red Ryder: ...Sort of.
- [referring to a provocative law-and-order editorial published in the local newspaper]
- Henchman Blackjack: Is that gal loco, publishing this?
- Frenchy Beaumont: The girl has too much sense, Blackjack - but her brother, he is young and rash.
- Henchman Blackjack: Yeah. Ain't it a shame. He don't know nothing about duelin', the poor kid.
