- Col. Iverson: When I see young people today behaving like that I just... I can't help wondering what this goddamn country's coming to.
- Honus Gent: I'm going to sleep.
- Kathy Maribel Lee, 'Cresta': You do that, soldier. And you try to keep your mind off me.
- Honus Gent: Ms. Lee, I certainly have at no...
- Kathy Maribel Lee, 'Cresta': Oh, I know. If you get too all-fired horny during the night, just go soak your head in the stream over there.
- Kathy Maribel Lee, 'Cresta': Good brave lads. Comin' out here to kill themselves a real live injun. Puttin' up their forts in a country they got no claim to. So what the hell do you expect the indians to do, sit back on their butts while the army takes over their land?
- Honus Gent: You saw for yourself what they did; taking off scalps!
- Kathy Maribel Lee, 'Cresta': Yeah, and who taught 'em that little trick? The white man!
- Lt. McNair: They're coming out sir.
- Col. Iverson: What? What's that?
- Lt. McNair: I think it's Spotted Wolf. My god, sir, he's got a flag of truce! Yes sir, it's a white flag.
- Col. Iverson: Nonsense.
- Lt. McNair: Well here, see for yourself
- [offering the binoculars]
- Lt. McNair: .
- Col. Iverson: I told you lieutenant, give the order!
- Lt. McNair: Sir?
- Col. Iverson: [shouting] Well give the order!
- Lt. McNair: [pauses, then says] Yes sir.
- [to the gunners]
- Lt. McNair: Open fire!
- Honus Gent: Cresta...
- [leans in to kiss her]
- Kathy Maribel Lee, 'Cresta': Please, Honus, don't! Not unless you mean it.
- Kathy Maribel Lee, 'Cresta': [with the dead little Cheyenne girl in her arms] Got a prayer, Soldier Blue? A nice poem? Say something pretty!
