  • [last lines]
  • [an oil gusher erupts from the grave Lt. Sibley was digging]
  • Kronk: Every time dig hole, black poison shoot up! Now have to move town.
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: [disgusted] Texas. Pah!
  • Sam Hollis: Eh, if it was up to me, I'd give it back to the Indians.
  • Iron Jacket: Who wants it?
  • Sam Hollis: Why couldn't you have been born a Comanche?
  • Kronk: Mother run too fast.
  • [Sam and Baldy's "duel" ends when both men come face-to-face without drawing]
  • Sam Hollis: Well, what are you waiting for?
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: For you to start... itching.
  • Phoebe Ann Naylor: Well, it's plain to see you're no gentleman!
  • [admiring Phoebe Ann's figure barely concealed by a wet blanket]
  • Sam Hollis: Well, it's plain to see you're not one, either.
  • Sam Hollis: Baldy's grave is down by the corral. The jury dug it before the trial started.
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: This is night. Are you going to sleep?
  • Sam Hollis: Well, it ain't healthy to travel through Comanche territory in the daytime, so we'll travel at night.
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: Oh, when we ride, the savage sleeps. Yes?
  • Sam Hollis: Yep. Them Comanches believe the moon is an evil spirit.
  • Sam Hollis: Why, you dumb, fool tenderfoot! Are you trying to take on that whole tribe single-handed?
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: When one is alone, one must become an army.
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: You stand so; I stand so. And then...
  • Sam Hollis: Back to back? Now what kind of shootout is that?
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: Please Sam Hollis. I have dueled many times in Spain and I'm...
  • Sam Hollis: But this isn't Spain - it's Texas!
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: Even a simple duel you cannot perform in a civilized manner!
  • Sam Hollis: We have had civilized killings around here for years. I come from one end of town like this and you come from the other end... and you get the itch, you draw.
  • [during an Indian attack, the settlers run out of ammunition]
  • Kronk: Gun empty.
  • Sam Hollis: Yell, "Bang-bang."
  • Kronk: For Comanche need bullets, not jokes.
  • [Baldy attempts to rescue an Indian girl from a rattlesnake wielding medicine man]
  • Sam Hollis: He either likes girls or he's crazy about snakes.
  • Kronk: Comanche run for hills.
  • [Looks at Sam Hollis]
  • Kronk: Why you look so funny?
  • Sam Hollis: [In Kronk's language] Too mah kunoh tee hee sooti kaygoh-honi. And one laugh outta you and I'll boot you so hard your whole tribe'll fall down.
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: Ten paces.
  • Sam Hollis: Ten paces?
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: Why, that is customary. Do you wish to give the command to begin or shall I?
  • Sam Hollis: I don't know what you got in mind, Baldy, but I'm here for a shootout.
  • Don Andrea Baldasar: Precisely. You take ten steps that way; I take ten steps this way. Then we turn...
  • Sam Hollis: Turn? Step? I ain't here for no square dance! Now which end of town do you want to come from?
