Bat Masterson : Long enough.
Jess Santala : That's all I'm askin' - just long enough.

[Bat shows Jennie an unflattering newspaper article about himself]
Bat Masterson : Do you know anything about this?
Jennie : I had an idea that paper might catch up with you. You don't miss much when it comes to your reputation.
Bat Masterson : It's my stock in trade, Jennie. It's all I've got.

Bat Masterson : Do you know anything about me, Miss Hart?
Jo Hart : Enough to know what you stand for: violence, Mr. Masterson - the law unto yourself.
Bat Masterson : The law is only a word unless it's backed up by the truth.
-
Jo Hart : Bat, you know you don't have to go on. There's a job here for you, on the paper.
Bat Masterson : No, I couldn't stay fixed yet - not for a while. Got more places to go to, things to do and see - but don't you think for a moment that I'm liable to forget what I learned here. Look, I've got printers ink in my blood, too. I may even begin to look at things differently from now on; sort of like a reporter. Someday, I may even have enough to write about.
