Mark McCain : Where did you go to school, Mr. Rolfe?
Christopher Rolf : Well, as a matter of fact, at one time I was a teacher.
Mark McCain : Oh... Well, why did you quit?
Christopher Rolf : Well, there was a *useless* gunfight in my town. A bullet killed my wife. Guns were my hobby. I collected them. I also knew how to use them. I went after that man to bring him back to trial. He tried to gun me, I was faster. He said he was good, that I'd out-drawn one of the best. Well, word got around. Others came laughing to try the school teacher. They still come. And I'm trapped. He's right. I *am* a killer, but not by choice.
