[first lines]
Marshal Simon Fry : For three weeks I'd been riding hard on a trail of hold-ups and murders. The next few minutes would bring me to the end of it and face-to-face with one of the most vicious outlaws the territory had ever known.
-
Marshal Simon Fry : You're under arrest, Sally.
Sally Tornado : Where are you going to take me?
Marshal Simon Fry : Prescott to stand trial.
Sally Tornado : I'll get a dress on. A gentleman would turn his back.
Marshal Simon Fry : I'd rather stay alive than be a gentleman.

[last lines]
Clay McCord : Hope you ain't too disappointed about her missin' the hangin'.
Marshal Simon Fry : Can't say I am.
Clay McCord : 'Cause if you wanted her to be there for sure you could have taken her yourself.
Marshal Simon Fry : I had to go to Tucson.
Clay McCord : Yeah.
Marshal Simon Fry : I didn't want to see her hang any more than you did, Clay. I went to Tucson to plead with the Territorial Commissioner. I asked him to spare her life.
Clay McCord : What'd he say?
Marshal Simon Fry : Commutation was granted. Sentence was changed to life imprisonment. So, you see, she wouldn't have hanged anyway.
Clay McCord : Still, it's better this way, Simon. Sally Tornado locked up in prison for the rest of her life... she'd have died more than once. It's better this way - a lot better.
