The Oklahoma Kid: This is the only law that I know is worth a hoot in this part of the country. The only law. The Oklahoma Kid: Listen, I learned this about human nature when I was but so high, and that is: that the strong take away from the weak, and the smart take it away from the strong. John Kincaid: In the end, I'll see that the law gets you. And it won't be just to run you out of town. It'll be at the end of a rope. Ned Kincaid: Pop is counting on you to bringing law and order in this territory, Judge. Judge Hardwick: That's going to be some job, judging from the scum of the west I've seen drifting in here. John Kincaid: What's your proposition? Whip McCord: You go right ahead and build your town and attract settlers. John Kincaid: So you can take away their money at faro and roulette, eh? Whip McCord: Yeah, that's the idea. You take care of their virtues, I'll take care of their vices. Simple, ain't it?
