• [last lines] 

  Sheriff Sam Eberly : [He's standing behind Clint, who has his back to him]  Chilly today. I should have worn my top coat. I came to pay my respects to a friend. He's buried here. Did you know him?

  Clint Goodman : [pause, then]  No.

  Sheriff Sam Eberly : Died last week. Died sudden. I never... never had the chance to tell him how much our friendship really meant to me.

  Clint Goodman : Maybe he knows.

  [starts to walk away] 

  Sheriff Sam Eberly : Hey, mister!

  [Clint stops, slowly turns around to face Sam] 

  Sheriff Sam Eberly : I don't know who you are, but don't come back here... ever.

• Sheriff Sam Eberly : You know, I remember when Clint was building this house. Did it with his bare hands. He had a real relationship with wood, that man. Sometimes, I think he was happiest when he was picking splinters out of his fingers.
