Quotes 

• 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.

• 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 : 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 : 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.
