Brother in Arms (1961)

Allen Case: Deputy Clay McCord

Quotes 

• Clay McCord : Did you know Garth Cabot was comin' here, Billy?

  Bill Jason : You keep forgettin' I was mindin' my own business, so now I gotta tell you to do the same.

• Tom Arnold : If your pop was here I bet he'd stand Billy to a drink.

  Clay McCord : Things are different now.

  Bill Jason : Men like Cabot ain't any different. If he was bent on makin' trouble, you couldn't talk him out of it.

  Clay McCord : I'd try.

  Tom Arnold : The way I knew Luke McCord, he might be ashamed to hear you talkin' like that.

  Clay McCord : Careful what you say, Mr. Arnold, because the way you talk, you don't sound like you knew my father at all. Figure Billy Jason for a hero if you like, but one day he's going to gun down an innocent man and when that day comes, I don't want anyone of you to say Luke McCord taught him that!

• [anticipating a showdown with Billy Jason, Clay practices his skill with a pistol] 

  Clay McCord : That's fast enough.

  Marshal Simon Fry : When did you slink in, Simon?

  Clay McCord : A couple of draws back.

• [Clay straps on his gun to fight Billy Jason] 

  Clay McCord : I say it's better to prevent a crime than solve one.

• [last lines] 

  Sergeant Hapgood Tasker : Phew! Ten years off of my life the thought of you havin' to fight him. I saw the whole thing from the window.

  Clay McCord : You figure my chances to be that bad, Sarge?

  Sergeant Hapgood Tasker : That's got nothing' to do with it, Clay. I figure that no matter where Luke McCord is, it would have been another notch on his gun and he wouldn't have been no more proud of it that you would.

  Clay McCord : You know, Sarge, you see more through that one eye than most folks do with two.
