Sheriff O'Hea : Hi, everybody! I'm serving notice on all you evildoers to make yourself scarce because the majesty of the law has just arrived.

Younger Miles : When I pay a man, I expect him to be loyal enough to keep his mouth shut.
Chris Denning : And if you don't pay him?
Younger Miles : He still gets paid, some other way.
Chris Denning : [Speaking to a man in the bar, loud enough for everyone to hear] Hey, you there. You know Mrs. Miles? I took her home last night. She was drunk. Dead drunk.
[the others in the saloon begin to clear away]
Sheriff O'Hea : [Walking in the door] Hi, everybody. I'm serving notice on all you evildoers to make yourself scarce, because the majesty of the law has just arrived. Well, just in time!

Younger Miles : [Miles catches his wife drinking again] I warned you, Abbie!
Abbie Miles : I'm in my own home!
[Miles slaps her and walks out just as Abbie's father walks in]
Sheriff O'Hea : Has that ever happened before, Abbie?
[She shakes her head and cries]
Sheriff O'Hea : When you were a little girl, I couldn't bring myself to lay a hand on you, even to spank you, no matter how wild you got. I never thought I'd live to see the day my girl got slapped and I did nothing about it.

Sheriff O'Hea : How's that lovely daughter of mine, Miles?
Younger Miles : Abbie's fine, Sheriff. We were just talking about her.
