    • Quotes
      • Leslie O'Hara: [while riding in a stagecoach] Oh, we came to look at the wild West.
      • Hannibal Heyes: I hate to disappoint you, but it's not like that any more. You couldn't be safer in your own backyard.
      • Jed 'Kid' Curry: I wouldn't say that Joshua. One morning three weeks ago, we were on a stage that was held up. By a band of very desperate men.
      • Margaret Chapman: You mean that could happen to us?
      • Hannibal Heyes: It could happen to you but not to us. Not twice in three weeks.
      • [gunshots are fired, the stage is robbed]
