- [Kelino and Tenney are playing a high-stakes game of poker with Tenney dealing]
- Big Ed Kelino: Well, since it's blind and since it's my game, we'll just switch hands and show. You don't mind, do you?
- Seth Tenney: It's not that I mind the gamble... it's the ugly suggestion.
- Sheriff Neil Prescott: It's against the law to help a wanted man - especially a killer.
- Lita Cordona: Killer?
- Sheriff Neil Prescott: Yeah, Tenney killed a man in Nogales. The Arizona Rangers want him real bad.
- Lita Cordona: What makes you think he would come here?
- Sheriff Neil Prescott: A man in trouble generally runs to his friends. You and Tenney were thick as fleas on a hound dog when he was around town. Tenney's a smooth one. Don't let him talk you into anything.
- Lita Cordona: No one talks Lita into anything, Sheriff!
- Sheriff Neil Prescott: Money talks - and Tenney got away with a hatful.
