[first lines]
[Yancy and Farr are playing in a high-stakes poker game]
Wayland Farr : Two pair - I check to the queens, Mr. Derringer.
Yancy Derringer : Mr. Farr, I'm just going to have to bet... a thousand dollars.
Wayland Farr : Well, you know, that's a bit embarrassing. I'm a little short of cash.
Yancy Derringer : And at a very bad time.
Wayland Farr : I make it a practice of never writing a draft at the poker table.
Yancy Derringer : I make it a practice of never accepting one.
Wayland Farr : I tell you what I'll do. I'll put up something worth more than a thousand dollars.
Yancy Derringer : That would be a thousand and one dollars.

Yancy Derringer : What are you two doin' on the Jupiter?
Blackjack Benson : Fact is Willie and I are planning to be train robbers now that the overland line is finished. Thought we'd check out the route and figure where to jump the Limited when they get to run the gold east.
Yancy Derringer : Don't you ever tell the truth?
Blackjack Benson : In a crowd like this?
Wee Willy Benson : No one would believe us.

Yancy Derringer : You mean Mr. Farr?
Blackjack Benson : He just happens to represent the conspiracy between the overland wagon freighters and the overland stage companies.
Yancy Derringer : Well, even they can't keep the overland railroad from becoming a fact.
Wee Willy Benson : Oh, they know they're finished, little fella, but if they can make a disaster out of the wedding of the rails, it might give them another year of traffic.
Blackjack Benson : They think that's worth tryin' for.
Wee Willy Benson : We think it's worth stopping.

Yancy Derringer : Let's drink a toast. To the wedding of the rails - that means that any man with an itchy foot can travel almost anywhere in this wonderful country.
Colorado Charlie : You mean like me?
Blackjack Benson : Like me.
Wee Willy Benson : Me, too?
Blackjack Benson : If you're a good boy.
Yancy Derringer : [to Pahoo] Like us.
