• Joe : Vanderman, let me see now, say I've... .Vander -- oh, he was cheating at a card game in the Long Branch last night.

  Matt Dillon : That's right.

  Joe : And you want me to give him a job here?

  Matt Dillon : That's right.

  Joe : Well, you're clean out of your mind, Marshall. Why you should have run him out of town, throwed him into jail.

  Matt Dillon : Now, just wait a minute, Joe. This man's not really a crook, he's just had a few bad breaks along the line. Why don't you give him a chance?

  Joe : How do I know he can cook?

  Matt Dillon : Well, he says he can, why don't you give him a chance? What do you got to lose?

  Joe : Hmph, only my restaurant, maybe. If he takes a notion to sell it while my back is turned.

  Chester : Well, I don't think you got a thing to worry about, Joe. I don't think nobody'd buy it once they see your cockroaches.

  Joe : I've got no more cockroaches here than anybody else in Dodge.

  Chester : Well, they're bigger.

  Joe : That's 'cause the food here's better.
