Judge Roy Bean : and a rope. LaSalle : And will you rely again on the grace of God? Get on with the reading. Judge Roy Bean : Ordinarily, I'd take you in my court and try you and hang you. But if you've got money for whiskey, I guess we can dispense with those proceedings. It weren't a real standup fight. Judge Roy Bean : Standup? I laid down to steady my aim. Fermel Parlee Jackson gang : Well, I mean he never had a chance.
Judge Roy Bean : Not at all. Never did, never would have. I didn't ask him to come here. I don't abide giving killers a chance.
He wants a chance, let him go someplace else. His blood is in me. But I went wild as a youth, and run away to the mountains. Good life, free life - but COLD. So cold I'd go to the bears in the winter and lie up with them in their cave. That's why I'm known as "Grizzly" - I cohabitated with the bears. Judge Roy Bean : What are you doing in Vinegarroon? Grizzly Adams : All my life I been cold. I come south to die where it's warm. Judge Roy Bean : Well, it's warm here The only people that die in my town are those that I shoot or hang.
Now, get along with ya'. Grizzly Adams : Can't die here, can't die there! Man can't even DIE where he sees fit no more. LaSalle : I shall pray for you, Bean. This land abounds in ruffians and varmints. Their numbers are legion, their evil skills commensurate. Judge Roy Bean : Piss on 'em. Judge Roy Bean : By the power vested in me through God and the great and honorable State of Texas, I hereby proclaim you to be Marshals of the court of the county of greater Vinegarroon.
For Texas and Miss Lily!
