• Dan Hotaling : [notices Denton holding a gun]  Wait a minute, Denton. Hey, Gunner! Hey! Where did you get that artillery?

  Al Denton : I found it... I found it right over there in the street.

  Dan Hotaling : Is that a fact? Heh! Bet it's a long time since you used one of those, isn't it, rummy?

  Al Denton : Yeah, a long time.

  Dan Hotaling : Well, maybe you could use it now. Yeah. Maybe you could even outdraw me.

  Al Denton : No, I wouldn't know how to use it anymore.

  Dan Hotaling : Well, let's see you try. Come on. You and me will draw.

  Liz : All right. All right. Dan, cut it out. It's not funny anymore.

  Dan Hotaling : Go on. Get away, Liz. The gunner and me, we're gonna have a showdown here. Come on, Gunner. Let's lift it up...

  Liz : Oh, Dan, stop it!

  Charlie : Come on, Dan. Liz is right.

  Dan Hotaling : GO ON BACK TO THE BAR, CHARLIE! Can't you see we got private business here?

  Charlie : Listen, Dan...

  [Dan kicks the bar door, sending Charlie tumbling backward] 

  Dan Hotaling : Come on. Come on out here. Come on, rummy. Come on!

  [Denton walks a few steps forward] 

  Dan Hotaling : I'm gonna give you a break, rummy. I'm gonna do it left-handed.

  Al Denton : Miss Smith, tell him. Please tell him. Please. Miss Smith, please tell him...

  [after waving his gun in his hand, he shoots Hotaling in the left wrist] 

  Al Denton : Miss Smith, please tell him it was an accident. I don't want any trouble. Mr. Hotaling...

  Charlie : That was shooting, Al.

  Al Denton : Mr. Hotaling, listen...

  Charlie : Come in and get a drink. It's on the house.

  [Charlie escorts Denton into the bar] 

  Charlie : Did you get your eye back, Al? You been practicing or something? We ain't seen shooting like that since I don't know when. Against Hotaling, too.

  Al Denton : It isn't even mine.

  Charlie : Drinks on the house!

  Dan Hotaling : HEY, RUMMY! Face me, Denton!

  Al Denton : [the bar patrons scatter]  It was an accident, Mr. Hotaling.

  Dan Hotaling : I'm gonna get this right in your stomach!

  Charlie : Dan, give him a break.

  Al Denton : I didn't mean to... I didn't even mean to... I didn't even mean to...

  [as he's waving his gun, Denton fires again. This time, it causes a lamp to fall on Hotaling's gun]
