— My friend here needs a gun.
— This here's the eagle-butt Peacemaker. Solid ivory handle. Mexican emblem. Only 30 of these ever made. And this is the customized Remington, new model. Army.44. It's probably more accurate than your Colt. I had the wooden handles removed and replaced with solid silver. Used with great success... on 30... No, 35 bank robberies by its late owner. Boy. And this... This is the best help a man can get. Smith & Wesson Schofield.45. Just meat and potatoes. Me and Jesse James think it's the best handgun in the world. I had the trigger guard removed. It saves drawing time. Don't ever wear it when you're drunk or you'll kill your feet.

— You know when.

— Mr. Hanlon... I wanted to ask you about Indian Wells. That fight really take place?
— Sure did.
— Then it's true that you gunned down four men?
— Two with my left hand, two with my right hand. You see, the truth is... that I am just as good with either.
— You must be the fastest gun in the West. That or the biggest liar.
— It's a pity you weren't there to find out.
— Oh, but I was, Ace. You see, I was the one that really killed the Terrence brothers. And I doubt a lying, little chickenshit like you was even in the same state. How about that left hand, Ace? How about that left-handed draw?
— Goddamn. God.
