Quote context

[...]

- You work for the railroads, too, Mr. Beauchamp?

- No. I write.

- I write.

- Letters?

- Books, Bill. Books. Actually, he's my biographer.

(Guns and shotguns cocking)

- I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mr. Beauchamp.

- It's only a book.

- A book? Well, I guess that means you boys can read.

- So I guess that means that you saw the signs outside of town there saying, Surrender your firearms.

- But like you told young Andy here, you're not armed, are you, Bob?

- Well, not really, Bill.

- Got a Peacemaker, but that wouldn't worry you, would it? I mean, if you don't see it, most particularly if you don't hear it.

- I'm afraid so, Bob. I don't like firearms around.
