Quotes

Soapy: Boys, I either overestimated bankers or underestimated you. (edit)
Heyes: (as he and Kid walk off with $50,000 they can’t keep) You know something, Kid? We sure picked a fine time to go straight, didn’t we?
Curry: Heyes, you’re reading my mind again. It makes me nervous. (edit)
Betsy’s boyfriend: You want some advice, friend? You’ll head back through that door and forget you ever saw anyone in here.
Curry: Well, that’s pretty good advice. Hope you don’t mind if I don’t follow it. (edit)
Curry: (after he’s rebuffed by Betsy) You sure that was violins we heard?
Heyes: I said it’d be nice romancing her. I didn’t say it’d be easy. (edit)
Heyes: I saw the way she looked at you. You could almost hear the violins.
Curry: I did hear violins. (edit)

Superb
A Fistful of Diamonds
"Above average"
One of the better "Alias Smith & Jones" episodes in how it replicates the theme of the bad guys redeeming themselves and persuading other villains to redeem themselves.
