Quotes 

• Lucy Ballance : Things haven't been the same since Simon Fry stepped on board.

  Clay McCord : He's my boss not my guardian.

• Marshal Simon Fry : Passenger list didn't tell much.

  Clay McCord : Well, I guess a man doesn't get in the habit of writing 'Gunman' after his name.

• Marshal Simon Fry : She looks right through a man, Clay.

  Clay McCord : All day long?

  Marshal Simon Fry : Well, don't get the wrong idea. As long as I'm standing guard over her, I might as well make it sociable.

  Clay McCord : Oh, I just hope you're not gettin' in deep water, Simon.

  Marshal Simon Fry : You worried I don't know how to swim?

• [last lines] 

  Marshal Simon Fry : [discussing Lucy]  Faxcinatin' girl. Like's to play as long as she can keep out of trouble... which I guess ain't a bad idea. But like you said, it took a lot of work to get her on that stand.

  Clay McCord : Oh, I can't see as how you suffered so much from all that hard labor.

  Marshal Simon Fry : No, can't say as I did. Bein' a marshal, you gotta learn to take things as they come.
