  • Louisa Cody: Mr. Hickok, Will promised me. You don't understand. I - I can't let him go.
  • Wild Bill Hickok: There are things that have to be done ma'am. You know, Lincoln set a goal we have to work toward. He said the frontier must be made safe.

  • Buffalo Bill Cody: What's up?
  • Seventh Cavalryman: Custer's been ordered to move against Sitting Bull and the Sioux up in the Big Horn country.
  • Louisa Cody: Well, what does General Custer want Will for?
