Bret is taking the stagecoach to Apocalypse after losing his bankroll. His fellow passenger, a tinhorn named Sam, offers Bret a game of Blackjack.

Episode Quotes
Pappyism: Gentlemen don't haggle over money.
Bret: I wasn't going anywhere in particular at that time, except maybe into bankruptcy. In the last town, I'd put all my faith into two pair, and three tiny little deuces had wrecked my faith - and my bankroll.

Bret: I've been known to take a friendly hand.

Sam: Are you acquainted with blackjack?
Bret: We've met.

Stagecoach Driver: You got a Colt pointin' at you, you don't recognize your own mother.
Johnny Rain: Strange fellow, that robber. Now I hate stealin', but from what they tell me, he never hurts any of his passengers or takes any of their personal belongin's. Now, don't that beat all?
Bret: Oh, a very common kind : gunman with a heart of gold, the code of the West, honor among thieves, that sort of thing.

Bret: You don't care for liquor?
Johnny Rain: Well… it's got a tendency to give me the cobbly-wobbles, makes me kinda fuzzy. The worst thing is, once I start, I can't stop. But I promised my girl I'd drink, so I gotta.
Bret: You promised her you would drink?
Johnny Rain: She says when her old man was on the wagon, he used to beat up on her mother. It's left its mark on her.
Bret: A few on her mother too, I suspect.

Johnny Rain: (about Millie) We got an understanding that one of these days we're gonna reach an understanding.
Mayor Hadley: You'll, uh, need the proper authority to perform your job, so you'd better put this on. (hands Bret a badge)
Bret: Well, you're not making me sheriff?
Mayor Hadley: You got something against it?
Bret: Well, naturally, I'm on the side of the law, as a rule. But authority has a tendency to weigh me down.
Mayor Hadley: How does bein' a deputy affect your weight?
Bret: It's less of a burden, I might be able to bear up under that.

Bret: Well, I had a dim suspicion that she wasn't exactly head over heels.
Bret: Well, I had a dim suspicion that she wasn't exactly head over heels.

Bret: That's what I thought you said.
