  Bob 'Shortcut' Seton : Yeah?

  Andrew 'Doc' Grunch : Yeah. You could run for marshal.

  Andrew 'Doc' Grunch : Well, you could try. It's better for a young fella like you to be working for Uncle Sam than against him.

  Bob 'Shortcut' Seton : I can't even read or write. You know that!

  Andrew 'Doc' Grunch : Listen, you don't read or write a man into jail.
