Carmody:
[Walking up to Msterson]
Look here, my friend, you're taking quite a load on your shoulders.
Marshal Bat Masterson:
Who are you?
Carmody:
I run the Oriental over there, and we take care of our own troubles here in Liberal.
Marshal Bat Masterson:
You don't do a very good of it. If I hadn't to happen along, you'd have to hang this man for murder.
Carmody:
You talk like a peace officer.
Marshal Bat Masterson:
Every citizen is a peace officer when the peace is violated. This is a free country by statute.
Carmody:
Statutes haven't reached this part of Kansas yet. You've plenty to learn, my friend. Among other things, I'll inform you that no cowboy will ever hang in Liberal.
[the crowd rumbles in agreement]
Marshal Bat Masterson:
Liberal is the county seat. According to law it's where killers hang when convicted.
Carmody:
Let's put it this way... if they're convicted, they hang. I'd advise you to get acquainted with our town.
Marshal Bat Masterson:
I've been doin' a little along that line, but I'm grateful for the suggetion. I'll try to learn more.
Carmody:
Good start would be to introduce yourself.
Marshal Bat Masterson:
Oh, didn't I? - Social error. The name's William Bartley Masterson, United States Marshal.
Carmody:
[Clearly alarned]
Bat Masterson?
Marshal Bat Masterson:
Yes.
