Harrison Destry:
For some time now I've been ridin' all over the frontier and huntin' for the man who framed me and sent me to prison. I've never run across him - yet - but I've met all kinds of outstanding American citizens... professional men like the James boys, Jesse and Frank, who had so much to do with the establishment of the sound financial system of the American West... mainly by making banks buy bigger and stronger safes. The Dalton boys, the Younger brothers and the Reno brothers - they understood that the secret of a thriving economy was to keep a lot of money in circulation. 'Course, it happened to be other people's money, but it's the principle that counts. But the Flanzig brothers, Hoge and Jude, were just about the meanest, nastiest, most bloodthirsty ruthless killers who ever lived. The nicest thing I ever heard said about 'em was that they shot a man through the heart, which killed him quick. I don't have anything to do with people like that, of course. That's because I've always managed to keep away from violence. Just ask anybody.
