Morris Ankrum: Dr. Tom Jackson

Quotes 

• Jed Mason : I want Kels Morgan.

  Dr. Tom Jackson : That won't help your son. He's dead.

  Jed Mason : Lynched is the word. And it's simple justice to hand out the same treatment to the ones responsible.

  Dr. Tom Jackson : The whole town is responsible. Why pick on one man?

  Jed Mason : Two, Doc. We got the Sherrif locked in his own jail. He let the mob get Ben. Kels Morgan led the mob. When we find him, we're gonna string both of them up.

  Dr. Tom Jackson : What'll that give you?

  Jed Mason : We're gonna hang 'em in the middle of town. We're gonna hang 'em so high that every time the decent law-abiding folk of Provost look up, they'll remember what they did to a boy they never let reach his majority.

  Dr. Tom Jackson : He was guilty, Jed.

• Mel Mason : Kels Morgan wouldn't be here, Doc?

  Dr. Tom Jackson : No, not unless he's down in the basement with the other rats.

• Dr. Tom Jackson : [Dr S Jackson Surgeon, Dentist and Undertaker]  I'm in no mood to help anyone.

  Gil Favor : Do you want to ride on your horse or across him?

  Dr. Tom Jackson : I'll need my bag.

• Rowdy Yates : Look, Doc, I got two horses down at that livery stable, can outrun anything in the state.

  Dr. Tom Jackson : I never saw a horse that could outrun a bullet. I've seen Brett Mason up on that roof. He's got a buffalo gun.

  Rowdy Yates : I always thought a doctor was above everyone else, and would help a sick man no matter what.

  Dr. Tom Jackson : A dead doctor can't help anybody.

• Dr. Tom Jackson : I'm pretty good with a squirrel gun.

• Sam Harris : I found out the day I lost the use of my legs. I found out there are more important things in life than livery stables, or medicine books, or stores.

  Dr. Tom Jackson : Maybe Sam is right. Maybe it's time we stood up like men.
