Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there is just one way to handle the
killers of the spoilers and that's where the US Marshal and the smell of guns smoke.
Guns Smoke starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved West with
young America and the story of a man who moved with it.
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they
want to meet.
It's a chancey job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
Better eat up, Matt.
Won't find food that's even this good when you get to Larned.
Larned's a poor town then, Tuck.
Ain't none of my business, Mr. Dillon, but why ain't Miss Kitty coming back from Larned
on stage the same way she went up there?
Why do you have to go fetch her?
I'll tell you why, Chester.
With the idea of having a US Marshal come up and escort you back to Dodge.
The reason, Chester, is that there won't be another stage for a week and Kitty has to
get back here before that.
That's the reason.
And I suppose it'll be a nice ride for the two of you, huh?
Yeah.
Oh, Matt, you have to admit it's mighty courtly, huh?
Squire and Kitty home through the countryside.
It's going to be a long, hot ride and you know it.
Now, Matt, this isn't the weather that counts.
It's the company.
Where are you going, Mr. Dillon?
I'm going back to the office.
Well, ain't you going to eat your dessert?
It's mighty good.
Plum full of sugar.
You eat it, Chester.
Well, now, I sure do think...
Things are too sugary around here for me already.

I don't remember a thing after you first carried me into that shack
I guess it was pretty silly
What do you mean?
Oh I've been system like it did but you stay with me and not leave me to go get Doc
Nothing would have happened to me in that place
I guess I was just spooky about it
I was a little spooky myself Kitty before we got through
