"It would look very strange, when the Commons of England are so fond of their right of sending representatives to Parliament, that it should be in the power of a sheriff, or other officer, to deprive them of that right, and yet that they should have no remedy; it is a thing to be admired at by all mankind."

"I do really believe you, Mr. Sheriff; you have done like an honest man."

"Sheriff: [Hands Manco the reward money for Red Cavanaugh] Two thousand dollars. It's a lot of money. Takes me three years to earn it!

Manco: [Pulls off sheriff's star and tosses it to the townspeople] I think you people need a new sheriff."

"I shot the sheriff / But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!"
