- Robert Kincaid: Son, you shouldn't be standing up for a squaw woman.
- Cooper Smith: She's still a woman.
- Robert Kincaid: Now, I've done well here. I've made quite a bit of money.
- Molly Kincaid: We captured a paymaster, Robert. Yes, we - we Comanches. He had thirty thousand dollars in currency on him. The braves staked him out and put that money on his bare belly and cooked him with it. That's what we think of money!
- Rome: I am Young Man Ashamed of His Eyes.
- Marybelle Freeman: Well, I declare. I don't know why you are. I think they're very cute.
- Rome: That is my name.
- Barnaby West: Mr. Hale, is that how the Indians get a girl, just give her folks a couple horses?
- Christopher Hale: Yep. Pretty pitiful, isn't it?
- Barnaby West: Pitiful? Why, I thought Indians were supposed to be uncivilized. That's a great idea!
- Christopher Hale: You're a young man. You and I better find a place to talk. Someplace quiet. With lots of birds... bees.
- Molly Kincaid: I'm here! In God's name, doesn't anybody know that?
- Kate Crawley: Why don't you ask him?
- Molly Kincaid: Who?
- Kate Crawley: God. You believe in God, don't you?
- Molly Kincaid: I used to.
- Kate Crawley: Well, let's just say for argument's sake you were right. You think God's gonna be surprised to find out you're still alive? You think he doesn't know what's happened to you? Your daughter is out looking for her father. Why don't you go look for yours?
- Charlie Wooster: Look at him, sitting there looking madder than an old tomcat in a rainstorm. He ain't too mad to do-dad his city clothes, is he?
- Duke Shannon: If I didn't know better, I'd say he's going lady-calling.
- Christopher Hale: [to Duke] The only time I ever get mad is when somebody wants to meddle into something that's nothing of their affair. When I want your criticism, I'll ask for it. Where's Bill?
- Barnaby West: Gee whiz, what did you say to make him so mad, Charlie?
- Charlie Wooster: I ain't sure, Barney. But I'm sure I ain't saying it again.
- Charlie Wooster: Why, Kate Crawley is the most loveable, most feminine, gentle, soft-spoken little prairie flower you ever did see.
- Christopher Hale: Son, for every Indian you can show me in this part of the United States, I'll show you a steamboat sailing across the prairie.
- Duke Shannon: Been wondering about that myself. Why don't you go ask him?
- Charlie Wooster: No.
- Cooper Smith: By golly I think I will.
- Charlie Wooster: I knew you were miserable and hard to get along with. But I didn't think you had a mean streak in you.
- Duke Shannon: He had to learn the truth somehow, Charlie. The sooner the better.
- Charlie Wooster: I'll go get some bandages. On second thoughts, I'll just sit here and watch the fracas.
- Barnaby West: What Freeman girl is that?
- Christopher Hale: The one you've been making manly faces for ever since the week before we left St Joe. The one hiding behind that bush over there.
- Rome: Little papooses that stick their noses in the snapping turtles' shells sometimes have to learn to smell with their ears.
- Bill Hawks: What was all that about?
- Barnaby West: Oh, about fifteen and a half, with blonde hair.
- Molly Kincaid: But it wasn't your fault, my darling. You did everything you could. Everything! EXCEPT ACT AS A MAN!
- Robert Kincaid: You've gotta go. You gotta get out of here.
- Molly Kincaid: A wife's place is with her husband.
- Robert Kincaid: YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE! You think you can walk back in here after what you've done.
- Molly Kincaid: After what I've done? I thought you might forgive me for staying alive through THIRTEEN YEARS OF HEL!
- Christopher Hale: Indians look at horse stealing a little differently than you. First thing a papoose learns is how to steal a horse.
- Robert Kincaid: One year, ten years, fifteen years. If you've lived with an Indian, you're an Indian.
- Cooper Smith: I take it you don't like 'em very much.
- Robert Kincaid: Do I have any reason to? Somebody ought to go upstairs and put a bullet through that woman's head. It'd be a mercy.
- Doc Curley: Best day for business I've had in weeks. He's all right. He had a shock and I daresay I don't blame him. But he's not going to dis from it.
- Molly Kincaid: So much the worse for him.
- Doc Curley: Are you really his wife?
- Christopher Hale: She's really his wife.
- Doc Curley: Won't that blow the cork off the bottle?
- Cooper Smith: We better start learning about haircuts. Sit down. Charlie, get the axe. We're gonna make a clearing on this boy's head!
- Molly Kincaid: He killed my baby. And he gave me to the Comanches. If only he'd killed me before he started to run. He didn't even do that!
- Charlie Wooster: What I'd like to know is why we have to stop in Kincaid. We're only four days out of St Joe.
- Christopher Hale: You're not complaining are ya?
- Charlie Wooster: No, not as long as they don't close up them saloons. I reckon that wouldn't make any difference to you. You always got that Kate Crawley there running that freight line. That's why we're stopping, ain't it, Mr Chris?
- Christopher Hale: [Chris has a complete change in mood and demeanor] Why don't you let me worry about our schedule. Maybe you don't have enough to do. I can rustle up a lot of work in case you got too much time on your hands.
- Charlie Wooster: I was just passing the time of day, Mr Chris.
- Christopher Hale: Well, it'll pass a lot quicker if you mind your own business.
