Major Seth Adams
- Flint McCullough: Now, let me get this straight. Do you mean to tell me you knew the Cavalry was coming and you let us sweat us it out all night and not tell us?
- Major Seth Adams: Well, how could I tell ya? I was riding with them. You know that.
- Flint McCullough: Why were you riding with them when you belonged here with us? Now, you've said it to me many times, Major, that, when you got a job to do, do it, don't get sidetracked.
- Major Seth Adams: I didn't get sidetracked. I went after the Cavalry to save your necks. I went after them. I FOUND THEM AND I BROUGHT 'EM. That's all there is to it.
- Flint McCullough: Take your time, take all the time you want. But then come up with a good answer.
- Major Seth Adams: Well, I just figured I ought to help out the Cavalry, that's all.
- Flint McCullough: Do I understand that you don't feel the Cavalry could drive off the Apaches without you?
- Major Seth Adams: No, I wouldn't go so far as to say that.
- Charlie Wooster: Any time you say the word, Mr McCullough, we'll roll.
- Flint McCullough: Very well, Mr Wooster.
- Major Seth Adams: He's in charge?
- Charlie Wooster: When you left this wagon train, you left him in charge. I hearded it with my own ears.
- Major Seth Adams: Well, is it all right with you two if I just sorta tagged along?
- Flint McCullough: As long as you stay with the group and don't ride off with the soldiers.
- Major Seth Adams: Yes, Sir.
- Flint McCullough: WAGONS HO!
- Flint McCullough: Don't blame Charlie because he's not wrong. YOU ARE WRONG.
- [Flint stabs the air with his finger at the Major]
- Major Seth Adams: Well, all right. I'm, I'm, all right. I'm wrong. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
- Flint McCullough: [Flint pats the Major on the shoulder] Very well, we accept your apology.
- Major Seth Adams: My, my apology?
- Flint McCullough: There are hundreds of people on this train who depend on YOU. You've got no right to go out and play soldier and take a chance at getting killed.
- Charlie Wooster: That's right, Flint.
- Major Seth Adams: Well, I didn't get myself killed, did I?
- Charlie Wooster: Wasn't your fault you didn't.
- Major Seth Adams: You talk too much.
- Flint McCullough: Major Adams, you've laid down the certain rules by which you want this wagon train run. I want to inform you that you've broken most of them today... What we don't need around here is a dead hero.
