Support Your Local Sheriff! - Questioning the Town's Violent Lifestyle
Jason McCullough: [addressing the saloon's patrons]
Now, is this the kind of town you people want for yourselves? Is this the kind of life you want to lead? I mean, three killings in one saloon alone, and the sun hasn't even gone down yet! Now, any more of this foolishness, and I'm gonna close this place up tight!
Bartender:
Yes sir! I wouldn't blame you one bit, sir!

Support Your Local Sheriff! - Debating the Nature of Self-Defense
Joe Danby: [having just killed a man in a draw at the saloon]
Alright, y'all saw it! And it was a fair fight. He drew first... so it's self-defense.
Bartender:
Oh, I saw it, Joe, he drew first!
Barfly:
Oh, you couldn't call that anything but self-defense!
Jason McCullough:
Well, it may have been a lot of things, but self-defense it wasn't. And he didn't draw first; you did.
Joe Danby:
...What do you mean by that?
Jason McCullough:
Oh, it's an old trick. You did it pretty well; not really well, but pretty well. You feinted him into drawing with your left shoulder, while you were going for your gun with your right hand. It's an old Arizona trick, but I- I have seen it used as far north as Montana.
Joe Danby: [nods]
... Are you callin me a liar?
Jason McCullough:
Well, now you heard every word I said, and not once did I call you a liar. All I said was, you feinted him with your left shoulder into going for his gun while you were going for yours with your right hand.
Joe Danby:
So what?
Jason McCullough: [coldly]
You beat that poor man to the draw. He's dead, and you're alive; that's the whole idea of the game, isn't it?
Joe Danby:
... What's your name?
Jason McCullough:
Jason McCullough. What's yours?
Joe Danby:
Joe Danby. And you had better remember it.
Jason McCullough: [sarcastically; finishes his drink and leaves]
Oh, I'll remember it, Joe. That's about all I'm gonna do, the rest of my life, is go around rememberin your name.
