Billy the Kid Season 2 Episode 8 Quotes

George: They're offering us a pardon. I think that's a pretty good deal.
Billy: Look, we don't know anything about this new governor, Wallace. He may be our best chance but we have to tread carefully.

Pat: I'm not here to take sides.
Riley: We know that you and the Kid were friends. That might explain why you're soft on him, Sheriff.
