- [Casey meets Will outside of the territorial prison]
- Col. Casey Thompson: Why don't you climb up?
- Will Grady: Well, that's very kind of you, sir. I must repay your kindness with honesty. I think it only fair to warn you the character of the man you have invited to share your conveyance.
- Col. Casey Thompson: I'm willin' to take my chances. Come on. There ya go.
- Will Grady: Up until a few moments ago, I was an inmate of yonder prison. Fifteen years, sir. Most of it spent under the lashes of the guards and in solitary confinement in a cell two feet by two feet with the souls of the many men I've killed as my only companions.
- Col. Casey Thompson: Must have been awful crowded in there with all those dead people.
- [Tony and Ben are searching for Grady's former cellmates who they believe committed a murder for which Grady has been arrested]
- Warden Martine: In fact, I'd welcome Old Man Grady back. I haven't had a good potpie since he stopped growin' those vegetables.
- Tony Gentry: Warden, we gotta find them other two or that old man will be growin' nothin' but daisies.
- Roy Clatter: What do you guys want?
- Ben Travis: You, Clatter. You and Gard.
- Jake Gard: There ain't no reward out for us!
- Tony Gentry: Oh, that's all in the way you look at it. Seems to me there's no greater reward in this life than helpin' a friend in need.
- Ben Travis: Will Grady's in trouble. You put him there.
