Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Deputy Olson : I thought you might like to take a look at the gun that killed our auto repair man. Ballistics just checked it out against those slugs.

  Sheriff Frank Morgan : Where did you find it? In August's room?

  Deputy Olson : No - Dillon's.

  Sheriff Frank Morgan : Dillon's? Man kills eight times, Harry, but goes to the gas chamber once. You know, I hate to give that character back to the FBI; we take awfully good care of him here. Bring August out here. And to think I tried to pin it on the poor devil.

• [Dillon examines his own wanted poster] 

  John Dillon : He looks like a pretty tough fella.

  Sheriff Frank Morgan : So they say.

  John Dillon : You don't think so?

  Sheriff Frank Morgan : No.

  John Dillon : But I heard he shot quite a few people; that he's real tough.

  Sheriff Frank Morgan : Two FBI men, two old bank tellers, a frightened old lady and a cross-eyed junkie.

  John Dillon : Are you sayin' the FBI men were soft?

  Sheriff Frank Morgan : They were shot from ambush.

  John Dillon : Oh. You seem to know a lot about this fellow.

  Sheriff Frank Morgan : I know this... he's just another hood - yellow. Take his gun away and he's just another guy like, well, like you.

  John Dillon : Like me? A terrible man like that? You must be kidding!

• Sheriff Frank Morgan : Harry, if a guy hates his brother-in-law, why would he call in the sheriff to find him before anyone else even notices he's missing?

  Deputy Olson : That's easy. When a man's waving a flag, you don't look at his face, you look at the flag.
