- Owen Forbes: They're deserters!
- Lorne Warfield: Well, is that a fact?
- Captain Jefferson Addis: Renegades is a better word. It implies a spirit of adventure. Desertion is cowardly. We're not that.
- Wilford: Think of violence. It's what I call an evil gun. I'll never know how one man can kill another.
- Lorne Warfield: What happened to my family? Where are they?
- Jimmy Noble: All I know is that the Apaches delivered them up for death.
- Lorne Warfield: What does that mean?
- Jimmy Noble: I don't know.
- Lorne Warfield: You ever kill a man?
- Owen Forbes: Why?
- Lorne Warfield: Well, suppose before this thing is over, you have to kill a few Indians?
- Owen Forbes: I'll manage. It's not the same thing as men gunning each other down in the middle of the street.
- Captain Jefferson Addis: I'll take the horse. Don't be a fool, Mr. Forbes. Turn around! Alive, you can still walk. Dead, you can only lay down.
