The chase is on!taglines Sheriff Calder The best thing about turning over a new leaf on Saturday night is that it disappears with a Sunday morning hangover. Emily Stewart Shoot a man for sleeping with someone's wife? That's silly. Half the town'd be wiped out. Quotes Damon Fuller: Well now, Sheriff. It's nice to know that you're out here on patrol. Sheriff Calder: No, no. I'm not on patrol. Just looking for an ice cream cone, that's all. Lem Brewster: The taxes in this town pay your salary to protect the place. Sheriff Calder: Well, if anything happens to you, Lem, we'll give you a refund. Emily Stewart: Hey, Calder. Why don't you stick around and help us protect him. All you need to come to my party is a pistol, and you got one. Sheriff Calder: Well, with all the pistols you got there, Emily, I don't believe there'd be room for mine. Val Rogers: Why aren't you out looking for him instead of sending my son?. Sheriff Calder: Because this damn county's 200 miles long and 40 miles wide, and they know where he is, and I don't! And I don't have to answer those questions. Val Rogers: You do! You are my friend. And I have been good to you, and I would've been better, and I will... Sheriff Calder: [Interrupts]. Hold on! Hold on. Hold it right there, Val. Go on home. You go home, and I promise you I'm gonna sit in this chair and ask myself what the hell I ever did to get so many people to believe they could buy me off. Val Rogers: Bubber, let Jake walk forward. And if he's all right, I'll give you my car and see that you get out of here without anyone bothering you. Bubber Reeves: He can do that? Jake Rogers: Yeah. He can do that. Bubber Reeves: Huh! What a world. Bubber Reeves: Lester, I'm in trouble. Lester Johnson: When you ain't been? Taglines The chase is on! A breathless explosive story of today!
