The Lone Ranger (1956)

Charles Meredith: Governor

Quotes 

• Governor : How's a politician to know who's telling him the truth? It may well be that Kilgore's solution is the only one possible. Move Red Hawk and his people away from the ranchers. Settle them on another reservation.

  The Lone Ranger : [disguised as an old prospector]  Just means breakin' another promise to them Indians. That oughta come easy by now.

• Reece Kilgore : Hope you had no trouble on the road.

  Governor : Were we really in danger from Indians, Mr. Kilgore? My secretary, Mr. Clive, thinks you warned us about that just to put some spice into the journey.

• Governor : I expected to find you a much older man, Mr. Kilgore.

  Reece Kilgore : Oh, why?

  Governor : I don't know. I suppose because of your position in these parts. Your wealth, your influence.

  Reece Kilgore : Well, out here, Governor, you have to get a pretty fast start. You see, in these parts, your chances of growing old may not always be too good.

• Governor : I know we have certain problems. Once again, Indians and white men are watching each other over their gun sights. We must put an end to that. We must establish reason, justice, and peace. Because only then can I stand before the Congress in Washington and say what I say to you now, this territory must and shall become a State.
