- Major Seth Adams: They're leaving all right but not on account of us. The sun's setting.
- Bill Hawks: Yeah and they'll be back getting us as soon as she gets up in the morning.
- Charlie Wooster: Well, we killed a hundred or more of them, didn't we?
- Major Seth Adams: I remember ya. How could I forget ya? I'm reminded of you every year when I come through this pass. And so is every other white man when he hits Chiricahua territory.
- Dr. Swift Cloud: I was afraid it was my father's tribe that attacked you.
- Charlie Wooster: MAJOR! Major.
- Major Seth Adams: Yeah.
- Charlie Wooster: There's a rider heading this way.
- Charlie Wooster: Does it look like McCullough?
- Charlie Wooster: No, it don't. He's carrying a white flag.
- Chief Fire Cloud: My Son. I give thanks to the Great Spirits for bringing you back to me in time to lead our people before I die.
- Dr. Swift Cloud: Do not think of death so soon, My Father.
- Chief Fire Cloud: I am overridden with evil spirits, My Son, such evil spirits that not even Geema can drive them out, I can feel them possessing me swiftly.
- Major Seth Adams: Go get my horse, Bill.
- Bill Hawks: Major, that Fire Cloud will string you out and skin you alive.
- Major Seth Adams: I never figured I'd live forever. Just get the horse, will ya.
- Major Seth Adams: It's gonna take an expert surgeon to get that out of there.
- Bill Hawks: You've got all those cannonball splinters in yer, they don't bother you much. Maybe he can live with an arrowhead in him.
- Major Seth Adams: He's gonna have to. At least ways until we get some place where there's a doctor.
- Major Seth Adams: I congratulate the great chief of the Chiracauhua on the bravery of his women and his children.
- Chief Fire Cloud: Your tongue is reckless, white man.
- Major Seth Adams: No more than your disregard for that flag.
- Chief Fire Cloud: My son is young.
- Major Seth Adams: Your son does you no honour.
- Chief Fire Cloud: You come to speak.
- Major Seth Adams: Yes, I come to speak. The truth. While you and I prepare to kill each other, your real enemy escapes again.
- Major Seth Adams: I thought you were dead. So did your father. Now he blames all white men because I took you West and you never came back. Where in tarnation have you been for the last four years?
- Dr. Swift Cloud: San Fransisco where you left me.
- Major Seth Adams: But why didn't you come back?
- Dr. Swift Cloud: I learned the meaning of ignorance.
- Dr. Swift Cloud: It is better for a man to live with one leg, than be buried with both.
- Chief Fire Cloud: But what of the Spirit that resides in my leg, where will it go to await those other parts of my body?
- Geema: I, Geema, make medicine for the Chiracauhua, Geema alone.
- Dr. Swift Cloud: The days of your kind of medicine is coming to an end. It is born of superstition and ignorance.
- Geema: Son of Fire Cloud speaks with split tongue of white man.
- Dr. Swift Cloud: I can save his life. Or would you rather see your Chief die and just to prove me wrong?
- Straight Arrow: When I kill you, it will be according to the customs of the Chiracauhua, not while you are bound and helpless.
- Straight Arrow: What could you do?
- Dr. Swift Cloud: I could have saved his life if it is not too late. Just as I could have saved the life of my Father but for the interference of Geema and his son.
- Straight Arrow: The old woman begs for death.
- Dr. Swift Cloud: Straight Arrow, you and I do not agree on many things. But you have respected the customs of our people against your father. Therefore you are a man of honour. I ask only for you to possess the wisdom that is acquired by a great Chief. Do not turn you back on everything that is new to you.
- Major Seth Adams: Mr Finley, if everybody on this train knew as much about everything as you do, we'd have been wiped out months ago. Now I don't need any of your advice. So just keep away from me.
