Leonard Penn: Reverend Thomas

Quotes 

• [Gringo and his gang have just held up a stagecoach and found a bag of money] 

  Reverend Thomas : I wish I could stop you from taking that - for your own sake.

  Gringo : For my own sake? How much money do you think we got here?

  Reverend Thomas : My friend, money you get like that will never do you any good, for he who lives by the sword will die by the sword - or the gun.

  Gringo : Oh, don't worry about me.

  Reverend Thomas : Worrying is part of my job - especially people like you. I want to help you.

  Gringo : Blamed if I don't think you mean that!

  Reverend Thomas : I do!

  Gringo : Thanks, Reverend. If I ever decide to change my mind, I'll let you know, but don't wait up for me.

• [last lines] 

  Reverend Thomas : The first time I've known of a wild horse to be the instrument of providence, but that's what Champ was!
