• Sgt. Elliott : Never say an injun is dumb. He just waits for the chance to use his one good cavalry tactic: ring around and close in.

• Sgt. Elliott : Well, injuns fight two ways, Captain. When they're running against a little outfit, they go ring around right away and close in quick for the kill. But if they're running against a big outfit, like we're tied up with now, they'll keep hacking and chopping away at your weak spots until they wear you down. Then make a ring around. And once they get you in a circle, you're finished.
