- [Mike Gray Eagle has raised the prices for the water he is delivering to Lincoln during a severe drought]
- John Forrest: There must be better ways of getting water and I'll find it even if I have to talk to the town council into hiring a rainmaker.
- Mike Gray Eagle: Rainmaker? And they call us Apaches superstitious for our medicine men and rain dances.
- Pat Garrett: Ah, you know, Gray Eagle, I wouldn't exactly count it as being superstition. I was reading an article just last week in Harper's Weekly about a Frenchman who has come up with a scientific way of making rain.
- Pat Garrett: I still say it's superstition... and if it isn't the rainmaker might keep in mind that I'm still an Apache.
- John Forrest: After stakin' out the only spring still flowin' within a thousand square miles, you know that no Apache called that a sacred spring until you put the idea in their heads and they won't let a white man near it now, Mike! Well, you're a highway robber.
- Mike Gray Eagle: I was taught the white man's ways at the mission school.
- [Hank Kimball, the rainmaker Lincoln County has just hired, turns out to be a woman]
- Mike Gray Eagle: [laughing] I like the white man's new ways - a female medicine man! What next?
- John Forrest: You, Miss, are a fraud... Hank Russell!
- Henrietta Russel: Short for Henrietta.
- Pat Garrett: This is Mr. Forrest, our councilman.
- Henrietta Russel: How do you do, Mr. Forrest.
- John Forrest: How do you do.
- Henrietta Russel: I'm not a fraud - I can make rain. And if you don't believe it and, according to the contract, all you have to is cancel it... but, ah, you have to forfeit the retaining fee.
- John Forrest: Oh, you must have gone to the same mission school Gray Eagle attended.
- Victorio: I've heard of white man's great medicine to bring rain.
- Mike Gray Eagle: Old squaws' talk.
- Victorio: If she succeeds you will lose face.
- Mike Gray Eagle: And money. Maybe you're right, Victorio. I think she should be discouraged... Oh, Victorio, no violence. Remember - we're civilized Apaches.
- Henrietta Russel: Why are you out to skin these folks?
- Mike Gray Eagle: You really want to know?
- Henrietta Russel: Yes!
- Mike Gray Eagle: My people had their lands taken from them. They were herded onto a reservation your government thought good enough for them. They were given hoes and rakes to till a land that could not grow good weeds. They were a proud people, but they agreed to a treaty that humbled them. The brave ones, Geronimo was one, took a course of vengeance against the whites.
- Henrietta Russel: What about you?
- Mike Gray Eagle: Me? I just went to the white man's school and learned his ways. I found you could scalp a man without lifting his hair - just lift his pocketbook. It hurts more.
- [Pat and Billy have tracked Gray Eagle to where he and his Apaches are holding Henrietta prisoner]
- Pat Garrett: We'll ride right in. They won't start anything with us - they're civilized.
- William Bonney: Yeah. What odds are you quotin', Patrick?
- John Forrest: Oh, you did it! You did it, Miss Russell! I'm as good as reelected!
- Mike Gray Eagle: You speak to soon, Mr. Forrest.
- John Forrest: What are you talking about, you you you vulture!
- Mike Gray Eagle: Eagle! With my water supply business washed out, so to speak, I have decided to enter politics. I'll be running against you for councilman next month, Mr. Forrest.
- [last lines]
- [referring to Mike Gray Eagle]
- William Bonney: Can I ask you a question, Patrick?
- Pat Garrett: What is it, Billy?
- William Bonney: Do you suppose there's anything in the treaty that might make him president?
- [Pat and Billy have just rescued Henrietta from Apaches attacking her rainmaking operation]
- Henrietta Russel: All right, you saved me, but you forgot somethin'.
- William Bonney: What are you talkin' about?
- Henrietta Russel: The Apaches didn't get us, but they do have Mr. Tundall's bathtub.
- Pat Garrett: Yeah.
- William Bonney: Ohhh. Do you think we have a chance at pullin' it out, Patrick?
- Pat Garrett: Not unless you want an Indian war on your hands and Gray Eagle's just the man to start it.
- William Bonney: Yeah, he'll sell rifles to both sides.
