• Brett Starr : [thinking he is Shotgun Cassidy, Mayor Keeler has appointed Brett as Sheriff of Tombstone]  Keeler says the surviving Carsons are a pack of cutthroats.

  Judge Gabby Whittaker : No!

  Brett Starr : Yeah.

  Judge Gabby Whittaker : What are you gettin' all prettied up for?

  Brett Starr : I'm goin' callin' on the Carsons.

  Judge Gabby Whittaker : Ain't that a mite dangerous?

  Brett Starr : From Keeler's description, it'll be downright perilous.

  Judge Gabby Whittaker : Hmm. Gives me the shivers to think of it.

  Brett Starr : The leader is a killer of the worst kind. Stands five foot tall, over 70, white hair and wears a little bonnet on top of it.

  Judge Gabby Whittaker : I'm goin' along... just for the shivers.

• Brett Starr : Good mornin'! I didn't expect to see you here, Miss, ah...

  Mary Carson : Carson! I live here.

  Granny Carson : It's never a good mornin' for sheriffs on the Carson claim. Now git and git fast!

  Brett Starr : I'm not only Sheriff, ma'am, but I aim to be a peace officer.

  Granny Carson : Then why are you hidin' behind that shotgun? And why is that old goat hidin' behind them moth-eaten whiskers?

  Judge Gabby Whittaker : Madam, I'll have you know that this hirsute is free of habitation.

  Granny Carson : Why don't you buy yourself a snood?

  Judge Gabby Whittaker : This old wildcat's as bad as Sal. Now keep your shirt on! I mean... don't get yourself in a tizzle.
