Quotes 

• Clay McCord : I was raised in an orphanage along with a lot of other kids without a name. Sally Tornado - you know how I got that name? By fightin'! I was a scrawny little kid, so I didn't get enough to eat until I was twelve. I used to fight everything and everybody. It took me a long time to figure how to get things in this world.

  Sally Tornado : By stealin' and killin'?

  Clay McCord : That's better than askin' for it and havin' people say "No".

• [last lines] 

  Clay McCord : Hope you ain't too disappointed about her missin' the hangin'.

  Marshal Simon Fry : Can't say I am.

  Clay McCord : 'Cause if you wanted her to be there for sure you could have taken her yourself.

  Marshal Simon Fry : I had to go to Tucson.

  Clay McCord : Yeah.

  Marshal Simon Fry : I didn't want to see her hang any more than you did, Clay. I went to Tucson to plead with the Territorial Commissioner. I asked him to spare her life.

  Clay McCord : What'd he say?

  Marshal Simon Fry : Commutation was granted. Sentence was changed to life imprisonment. So, you see, she wouldn't have hanged anyway.

  Clay McCord : Still, it's better this way, Simon. Sally Tornado locked up in prison for the rest of her life... she'd have died more than once. It's better this way - a lot better.
