It ain't me that's looking for a fight Marshall that you're old enough to figure out some other way of handling Jerry this is a family affair, and I'm not mixing on it unless I'm forced to And then I'll mix real fast. Is that clear briscoe? I'll straighten them out Marshall There won't be any trouble. Oh, come on Jerry Okay My Marshall just her Jerry. Bye Jerry. I declare. I can't figure that brisco mr. Dylan Jerry hasn't got him figured either Chester What do you mean?

I can't pick and choose when I have to work duck What work you've been done I've ridden 30 miles Get shot at no shoot anybody No, but then you've done no more work than if you'd spent the time sitting here watching front street You've been here all morning.
