The Indian Girl Story (1965)

Terry Wilson: Bill Hawks

Quotes 

• Joe Abbot : Anything I can help you with, Honey, you just tell Joe Abbot.

  Clare Evers : Mr Hawks?

  Bill Hawks : Yes, ma'am.

  Clare Evers : Is that prison wagon going to be with us very long?

  Bill Hawks : Aw, a week or so, maybe.

  Clare Evers : Well, it's too bad the Marshall can't hang him right here.

  Joe Abbot : You ever heard of anything so bloodthirsty, Mr Hawks? Wouldn't think it to look at her, would you?

  Bill Hawks : What are the charges, Marshall?

  Marshal Teale : You'd have no appetite tonight, Bill, if I described the least of the charges.

• Wilkins : I don't know what you're all lookin' at. I'm taking her in for murder. So you don't need to worry about it.

  Bill Hawks : Do you have to keep her tied up like this?

  Wilkins : She done got away from me a couple of times already. She's a real wildcat when she gets loose.

• Bill Hawks : Yeah, I know. Got troubles.

  Charlie Wooster : We're not saying you didn't do right, Bill.

  Bill Hawks : I'm not sure I did right, Charlie. I'm responsible for these wagons and not for some Indian girl that might deserve some kind of punishment this Chief Crazy Bear has in store for her.

• Bill Hawks : We had a little rough luck. Two of these three people that we buried died because they didn't stay under cover. When you have wagons circled up on flat ground, like we have here, every gun inside the circle is worth ten outside the circle.

• Prisoner : I got a right to have a gun. Do you hear me? I gotta a right!

  Bill Hawks : How about your prisoner, Marshall? You trust him with a gun?

  Marshal Teale : Bill, I wouldn't trust him with a slingshot.

• Bill Hawks : You're splitting a purdy fine hair.

  Wingate : I have several backing me in my opinion. We've made a noble effort on behalf of this girl, well, the point is reached where nobility and practicality clash.

• Wingate : I suppose we all seem like small, dirty people to you.

  Bill Hawks : No, no, you don't, Mr Wingate.

  Wingate : I do. Feel dirty, I mean. I don't think I could've acted any other way. I guess I'm just not brave enough.

  Bill Hawks : There aren't any cowards around here.
