[first lines]
[the conductor reads about a train robbery in Jim's newspaper]
Train conductor: I'm glad it didn't happen on my run. That Dawson gang is plenty tough.
Jim Parker: So I've heard!
[Jim flags down a stagecoach in the middle of nowhere and requests a ride]
Andy Kline: OK, but you'll have to give up your gun.
Jim Parker: What for?
Andy Kline: Road agents.
Jim Parker: But I'm not a road agent!
Andy Kline: Maybe not, but since these parts have become the campin' ground for every scallywag from Hades to breakfast, you can't take any chances.
Holdup man: Alright folks, line up nice like and kindly put your contributions in here.
George Layton: This'll be the sorriest day you've ever seen! I'm George Layton!
Holdup man: Yeah? And I'm Harvey Dawson!
George Layton: I own the town of Gunsight and I'll have you...
Holdup man: All you'll have is a pair of wings to float to heaven with if you don't close that trap and get busy!
["Elmer" has just rescued the stagecoach from robbers single-handed]
George Layton: It just doesn't make sense.
Jill Layton: What?
George Layton: Elmer.
Jill Layton: Elmer?
George Layton: Yes. Anybody that'd tack a name like that on that rip-snorter oughta have his head examined.

George Layton: What happened?
: I blasted the lawless element with printer's ink and they returned the complement.
Johnny Slade: You rat!
[Sunset slaps Slade]
Elmer Smith: If your hands go in those pockets, I'll kill you.
[Judge Smythe conducts Slade's murder trial while hungover]
Judge J. Frothingham Smythe: This court is now in session - Judge J. Frothingham Smythe at the bar... at the bar of justice, of course.
Andy Kline: Well I'll be a cross-eyed coyote!
[the gang leader has locked Sunset, Jill and Granny in a stout closet, whose door Sunset can't break down]
Granny Layton: Save your strength for Pendleton. This door needs a feminine touch.
[Granny removes a hairpin and picks the lock]
Sunset Carson: Granny, what a safecracker you'd have made!
Granny Layton: Oh, if I were only 50 years younger.
Jill Layton: Why, Granny!
Granny Layton: W-well are we going to stand here all day and let him fight the whole town alone? Go on, get a move on and go down to the barn and hitch up the buckboard and the team and I'll collect the artillery!
[last lines]
Granny Layton: You're not going to let Sunset get away are you?
Jill Layton: But what'll I do?
Granny Layton: Hogtie and brand him, or I'll disown you! Come on.
[Granny shoves Jill towards Sunset who is walking down the street]
Granny Layton: Skedaddle!
