"[masked and holding a gun on train passengers] If you dont know what this is, folks, its a hold-up! [a woman screams] Stay in your seats, keep your hands in sight, and the gent who just threwed his pocketbook in the spittoon will kindly take it out and wipe it clean before we get to him."

"There aint no question about it. Jesse was an outlaw, a bandit, a criminal. Even those that loved him aint got no answer to that. But we aint ashamed of him. I dont know why, but I dont think even America is ashamed of Jesse James. Maybe its because he was bold and lawless, like we all of us like to be sometimes. Maybe its because we understand a little that he wasnt altogether to blame for what his times made him. Maybe its because for ten years he licked the tar out of five states. Or maybe its because he was so good at what he was doing. I dont know. All I do know is he was one of the doggondest, goldangest, dagblamdest buckaroos that ever rode across these United States of America!"
