James Arness: Matt Dillon

Quotes 

• Kitty : I just don't understand why Eby didn't tell you about this right off the minute you got back to town.

  Marshal Matt Dillon : I'll tell you, Kitty, I ran across Eby once some time back over in Tascosa. He was slapping a woman around and I gave him quite a beating for it. He probably has never forgotten it.

  Kitty : Hmm.

  Marshal Matt Dillon : He wasn't too big after that and he left town a few days later.

  Kitty : I guess he figures he doesn't owe you any favors now, huh?

  Marshal Matt Dillon : Not exactly.
