  • Andy Taylor: Well, yeah...
  • Rafe Hollister: Well, then my heart's beatin'!

  • Andy Taylor: Oh, yeah, yeah. I understand now why you're doin' it.
  • Rafe Hollister: You do?
  • Andy Taylor: Yeah. If you was to let her give you that shot, see, you'd be passin' up your chance for immortality.

  • Andy Taylor: Immortality? Oh, that means bein' famous like Columbus or George Washington or some of them.
  • Rafe Hollister: Huh?

  • Rafe Hollister: [Rafe comes out with a rifle] And I'll give you exactly three to git off of my property!
  • Rafe Hollister: Andy, I don't wanna die!
  • Andy Taylor: But - but you'll be a dead hero!
  • Rafe Hollister: I don't wanna be a dead hero! I wanna be a live me!
  • Andy Taylor: Well, Rafe, maybe I had you figured wrong. When you refused to take the shot...
  • Rafe Hollister: Who won't take the shot? I'll take the shot! You go fetch that county nurse!
  • Andy Taylor: Well, Rafe, are you sure? She's gonna jab ya!
  • Rafe Hollister: I don't care! My daddy lived to be a hundred and I don't aim to break the tradition!
  • Andy Taylor: Well, all right. Too bad, though. You'd a made a fine statue.
