Quotes 

  • John Grey Cloud : You listen to me, Captain Dan. Eighty million Americans look up to you. You're the type of person they teach their children to respect and admire. Now this man Hale is trying to make you look like a fool. You owe something to this country and it owes something to you.

    Captain Dan Brady : But to use my friendship with the Secretary of War is downright unmanly. I couldn't do a thing like that.

    John Grey Cloud : Well, I've talked to the reporters into holding up their stories for a while. But sooner or later they'll have to file them. And they'll tell the whole country that a small-time wagonmaster refused Rocky Mountain Dan as a Chief Scout. They'll laugh at you, Captain Dan.

  • Captain Dan Brady : I remember a time I kept 300 Kiowas off my neck, burning a hundred sticks of greasewood, looked like a whole army was there.

  • Captain Dan Brady : I'm afraid you've wasted your money. No range. No weight in the pulley. I used to shoot more than a thousand yards. This here thing is hardly good for two hundred.

    Mr. Murray : But Mr Hale says.

    Captain Dan Brady : Mr Hale's business is running a wagon train, Mr Murray. You take my word for it. Get yourself a good old sharp single shot. Best gun ever made.

  • Captain Dan Brady : I will tell you, I will be Chief Scout on Christopher Hale's train because it is the only train this year which closest approximate the trails West which I favoured myself thirty years ago and more... Where's Mr Hale, John?

    John Grey Cloud : He doesn't seem to be here.

    Captain Dan Brady : I hope he got my wire... Which of you gentlemen of the Press has been chosen to go West with us?

  • Christopher Hale : Captain Brady, I think there's been some misunderstanding, I already have a Chief Scout, Mr Flint McCullough.

    Captain Dan Brady : Of course, of course. Mr McCullough and I will get on just fine.

    Christopher Hale : You don't understand, Captain. I'm perfectly satisfied with Mr McCullough's work.

    Townsman : You mean you're turning down the chance to sign on Rocky Mountain Dan as your Chief Scout, Mr Hale?

    John Grey Cloud : He doesn't mean anything of the kind. Frankly, Mr Hale, I don't understand your attitude.

    Christopher Hale : Well, it's very easy to understand, I admire Captain Brady very much, but this happens to be MY wagon train.

  • Captain Dan Brady : There's no reason why a man should look like a dude West of the Missouri.

  • Captain Dan Brady : I never saw a bunch with so much bad advice.

  • Captain Dan Brady : But one thing I never forgot, one John never let me forget. I'm a Westerner, Chris. Same as you and him. There's a lot of things I miss. I miss the smell of sage brush, and the buffalo, millions of them 'til you can't see the dirt under their feet.

    Christopher Hale : You won't find the buffalo like that any more, Dan.

    Captain Dan Brady : That's the trouble, Chris. I've got to find the old things before they're all gone. I want to feel the earth beneath my feet when I get near the mountains. I want to hear the crack of leather and the roll of wagon wheels. Guess I'm homesick, Chris. I'm tired of being what I am. I want to be what I used to be.

  • Captain Dan Brady : Mr McCullough, I've been meaning to talk to you, boy. I hope there're no hard feelings?

    Flint McCullough : None at all. I'm sure you'll do a remarkable job.

    Captain Dan Brady : I hope I do it as well as you did, Sir. Now, Flint, you've made quite a reputation for yourself on this job. I'd like to make you a little proposition.

    Flint McCullough : So?

    Captain Dan Brady : Yes, I've got two or three shows still running around the East, in Europe and as far as I'm concerned, I'd close them like that. But I like the people who are working for me, kinda figure I owe something to them.

    John Grey Cloud : And to your audiences, Captain Dan.

    Captain Dan Brady : Now, since I, ah, kinda, ah, beat you out for this job, I, ah, let me turn it into something big for you? How would you like to take over one of my companies. I'd give you top billing.

    Flint McCullough : Sounds big.

    Captain Dan Brady : Big ain't the word for it. There's thousands in it, a fortune, fame, roar of the crowd, travel.

  • John Grey Cloud : Listen, Hale. Captain Dan is known all over this world.

    Christopher Hale : Well, all over the world and West of the Missouri are two pretty thoroughly different places. Dan, leave the wagon train to me and my people. That's our business.

    Captain Dan Brady : I didn't mean to be meddling.

    John Grey Cloud : You weren't. If anyone's meddling, Hale is.

    Christopher Hale : Mr Grey Cloud, I don't know what your function is with Captain Brady, but you don't have any at all with me.

  • Captain Dan Brady : I guess I wasn't so bad once. I'm no Jim Bridger. A pretty good shot. Good scout. But I never really did anything until I killed Red Cloud.
