Narrowly escaped from the lynching that was the cowboys' first inspiration for dealing with their "thieving galoot," he coughs off his near-death experience with bravado petulance: "I don't want to play with you kids—you're too rough!" That provocative line about inhaling another man comes out when Windy's facing a fight that he knows he's going to lose, so he might as well get pasted saying something that was worth it.

The more you list these, the more I realize that Bob Hope based a lot of his scaredy-cat-with-a-thin-veneer-o'-bravado character off Haines.
