Henry Fonda: Chief Marshal Simon Fry

Quotes 

• Marshal Simon Fry : How'd it happen, Ben?

  Ben - Prison Warden : Daley just got too close to him. You see, Marshal, we have a rule about a guard keeping his distance - but there's no rule about a guard being foolish enough to forget it!

• Ben - Prison Warden : You're sitting here questioning prisoners while Marlowe's out there runnin'!

  Marshal Simon Fry : We'll get him back. You see, Ben, I know the first thing Marlowe's gonna do is join up with his wife.

  Ben - Prison Warden : You any idea which way he's headed?

  Marshal Simon Fry : Yep. I sent telegrams to all the deputies in the territory just in case.

  Ben - Prison Warden : In case what?

  Marshal Simon Fry : Marlowe swore he was going to get the man who set him up, remember?

  Ben - Prison Warden : Yeah, in court right after he was sentenced.

  Marshal Simon Fry : That's why I figure Marlowe's going to make my job easy. I don't have to go lookin' for him. All I gotta do is sit still and wait for him to come lookin' for me.
