Colonel Morgan : [musing] Yeah, well... how many people would you say he's killed, in his miserable life?
Junior Frisbee : [defensive] Well... none that didn't deserve it.
Colonel Morgan : How many have you killed, Junior?
Junior Frisbee : None that didn't deserve it. Me and Bill was very particular about that. We never killed church-folks, neither... course, there was a Baptist got in the way once, but very seldom!

Colonel Morgan : [at the Standall sisters' place, on official business] Ladies, we're looking for a man named Baker. Would either of you happen to know him?
