Owen Devereaux
- Owen Devereaux: [voiceover as he writes in his diary] I killed a hundred men today. I didn't want to. I couldn't help myself. What's wrong with me? I'm afraid... afraid I'm going crazy.
- Del Stewart: When are you gonna get the ramrod out of your back?
- Owen Devereaux: The minute we're out of uniform, so quick your eyes will pop.
- Rebel Major: Colonel Devereaux?
- Owen Devereaux: Yes. What do you want?
- Rebel Major: I want to look at a hero.
- [produces white flag from jacket]
- Rebel Major: I want to ask you about this.
- Owen Devereaux: I don't know what you're talking about.
- Rebel Major: I'm talking about the white flag you saw my men put up at Jacob's Gorge. You could have taken us without firing a shot. But you killed them under a flag of surrender. You killed a hundred decent men. What for, colonel? For a morning's entertainment? For pure, crazy love of killing? You're no hero. You're an insane murderer. Well, now it's your turn to die.
