Recap

In Denver, Jim and Artie arrive at a museum with the ambassador of Herzburg, who is touring with the Herzburg Crown Jewels. The ambassador is satisfied with the arrangements and stops to admire a painting of a Western town. The museum director explains that it’s a Wellington, and that the artist didn’t receive great acclaim during his lifetime. He explains that the painting belongs to Axel Morgan, a wealthy rancher who insisted that the painting hang in the gallery with the Crown Jewels. Once everyone departs, the guard pulls up a chair and sits facing the jewels...

Episode Quotes
Ambassador: What I can't understand is why would a man as rich as Mr. Morgan want to steal. He doesn't need the money.
James: No rich man does. They go on making it, one unneeded million after another.

Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Mr. Morgan, I will not be bullied. I realize that a lifetime's association with cows does not prepare one in the ways of a gentleman.

James: I thought you were dead.
Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Oh, no, Mr. West! I am afraid I shall never die. Death is too ordinary. The humiliation would kill me.

James: How'd you get rid of Lightnin'?
Artemus: He couldn't hold my liquor.

(In a shootout)
James: You know where the ambassador is?
Artie: Yeah. Saloon basement, he's all right.
James: Think you can find him?
Artemus: What, and leave you here alone?
James: Only four of them left.
Artemus: (shoots one opponent) Three. Hardly seems worth your while.
