Quotes
-
Colonel Tate : Well, I'd think you'd hate the sight of him; deserting the South to fight on the Union side.
Yancy Derringer : Colonel, each man to his own belief. After all, the shooting is over... I have a feeling we've met before.
Colonel Tate : Not to my knowledge. All right, Mr. Derringer, the guard will show you the way. I'm giving Hampton five minutes with you only because I'm shooting him in the morning - so, you see, the shooting isn't quite over.

Yancy Derringer : [narrating] Well, I couldn't help John Colton until I found him and I had one slim chance - a man named Jody Barker. Jody was the pickpocket of Bourbon Street, a sneak thief, devoted coward and a friend in need - when he was in need. Nothing happened on Bourbon Street that he didn't see, so I decided to pay him a visit.

Yancy Derringer : Pahoo, if the Colonel gets out of line, save one barrel for him alone... I'd just like to see how far he'll bounce.
