- Tom Folliard: [after rescuing Pike, who's tied up and been shot with an arrow by the Apaches] Hold still.
- [cutting the rope around Pike]
- 'Pike' Skelton: What're tryin' to do, knife me, you soft-livin', spineless skunk!
- Tom Folliard: Easy, scout, you've been hit pretty bad.
- 'Pike' Skelton: Dontcha think I know it, that ain't warm turtle soup fillin' mah boots, sabbath-breakin' varmits - I'll teach 'em, goin' around punchin' holes in people's clothes!
- Tom Folliard: How'd they getcha?
- 'Pike' Skelton: I had a right-smart skirmish with 60 of 'em.
- Tom Folliard: I only saw 6 bringin' ya in.
- 'Pike' Skelton: Them was the survivors.
- [Tom pulls out the arrow]
- 'Pike' Skelton: OH!
- [Pike grunts in pain]
- Tom Folliard: You saved me there - talk - what riled 'em up?
- 'Pike' Skelton: How do I know, you got me away too soon, blast your maggoty hide... but I hear'd this much - it was a white man!
- Constance Selden: I'm... sorry I was *rude*, Mr. Folliard.
- Trigger Bill Folliard: That's all right, sugar. I figured you wouldn't waste our time bein' insulted.
- Constance Selden: The Major was right - you *are* a sharp man.
- Trigger Bill Folliard: Uh-huh. You're a mighty sharp woman, too. That's why you wanna talk to me now, you figure to warm me up a little, so's I wouldn't bust up your play for Tom. You know, you and me oughta get along fine together, we're the same breed. I knew that as soon as I seen that black war paint on your eyelashes.
- Constance Selden: I see you don't want to be friends with anyone, do you.
- Trigger Bill Folliard: Nah, no... don't get huffed. We both of us know if I had four or five minutes to spare from business, I could have you crawlin' around my boots.
- [she slaps him]
- Trigger Bill Folliard: [he moves closer] You know, I figure you'll be good for Tom, toughen him up the way I will. You'll probably end up up with that *pious* galoot... and all the time down deep in your heart you'll know you've passed up a better man.
- [Constance smirks at him and walks away]
