Ralph Bellamy: Marshal Hanson Dickson

Quotes 

• Marshal Hanson Dickson : Get off that horse. Now drop your gun. Don't try anything, Carruthers.

  Sheriff : I'll take him to jail if you like, Marshal.

  Marshal Hanson Dickson : No, I told you before, Sheriff, I don't need any help. Any man I've ever gone after, I've brought by myself.

  Sheriff : He came in on his own free will to give himself up. Don't you think...

  Marshal Hanson Dickson : He's a wanted killer, Sheriff. You stay out of it. I'll handle him.

  Jed Colby : What he's saying is for you to look the other way, long enough so he can gun me down.

  Sheriff : Not in my town. You're giving yourself up, Mister?

• Marshal Hanson Dickson : All right, Carruthers. I'll tell you. Once. I've always been a lawman better than half of my life. Never made more than $40 in one month. Never had a place or money enough for a wife and family. I've got a half gimped leg from taking in the Balfour gang. And a silver plug here for bone

  [in my ear] 

  Marshal Hanson Dickson : where I let a prisoner club me once, just once. Twenty-five years and nothing than that to show for it. Except for one thing. No man I took in got loose from me. Not one.

  Jed Colby : Except for me, is that it?

  Marshal Hanson Dickson : That's it. Not one, except for you.

  Jed Colby : You were right, Dickson. I wouldn't understand. What are you going to do when you go back? Tell them I confessed and tried to run away and you had to shoot me?

  Marshal Hanson Dickson : I've got the confession written out and you're going to sign it before you die.
