"Overland Trail" The High Bridge (TV Episode 1960) - John Anderson as Lodestone Marshal

Marshal : Did you here the news?

Frank 'Flip' Flippen : Sure did. When the law is standin' on its head when it decides to hang a woman.

Marshal : That's not up to me. The jury found her guilty and they didn't recommend mercy. The judge sentenced her, I guard her, you transport her. That's it.
[Fred is pretending that he lost the key to the handcuffs locking Flip to Kate, a pretty murderess]

Marshal : Aren't you being kind of hard on him under the circumstances?

Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly : Depends on how you look at it, Marshal.

Marshal : Well, a boy like Flip with a woman like that...

Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly : That's why he had to come along on this trip. Flip's gotta grow up like the rest of us; gotta learn to tell the good from the bad.

Marshal : But trickin' him into it...

Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly : I know Flip - there isn't any other way. Oh, he'll be mad; might even do something... I don't know. One thing I do know - he'll learn a lesson, even if it's a hard one. You know, most of the time when I play tricks on Flip, it's just for fun. Sometimes I do it for his own good. This is one of those times.
Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly : Cattle Kate's inside. We're takin' her to Denver.

Marshal : So they found her guilty. What'd she draw?

Frederick Thomas 'Fred' Kelly : A rope.

Marshal : That don't seem right, hangin' a woman. There's too few of 'em in the territory as it is.

Marshal : Many more like her, there won't be any men left.
