Season 5 Quotes

Tim Hamer: [Frantically trying to summon help as the cargo train he and Cutty are driving is about to crash] Desert Pacific Rail, do you read me? Over!
Cutty Nagim: We're not gonna make it! [Slams on the emergency brake; it does not work] I can't get it stopped!

Season 5 / Episode 10: - Frienemies

Charlie Eppes: It sounds like they created a classic game theory scenario doesn't it?
Marshall Penfield: [Smiles] Yes it does, 'Johnny von Neumann', the old three man gunfight.
Colby Granger: A mathematical gunfight huh?
Marshall Penfield: Imagine a duel between three people. Now I'm the worst shot. I hit the target once every three tries.

Marshall Penfield: One of my opponents is better. Hits it twice every three shots.

Marshall Penfield: The third guy is a dead shot. He never misses. Now each gets one shot. As the worst, I go first. Then Charlie, then Colby. Who do I aim for, for my one shot?
Colby Granger: I guess me cause I'm the biggest danger right?
Marshall Penfield: [Makes a gun shooting motion toward Charlie] I shoot Eppsey first, but not for the obvious reasons. Chances are two to one I'm going to miss.
Charlie Eppes: And now it's my turn. Logic says I shoot Colby.

Colby Granger: Right, cause if I'm still standing I'm gonna shoot you and I don't miss.
Charlie Eppes: Exactly.
Marshall Penfield: As the worst, I use the two better shooters against each other
