- Jake Halsey: Say, ain't that long hair sort of a bother?
- Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer: I'm waiting for Crazy Horse to cut it. He promised to do it for nothing.
- Grey Fox: By the way, Colonel, my name's Bledsoe.
- Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer: Custer.
- Grey Fox: Oh, Custer, huh? The only Custer I ever heard of was a general.
- Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer: Well, I started at the top, working my way down.
- California Joe Milner: Well, now, you ain't exactly the companionship I've been cravin' if I was left to my own choosin', Crazy Horse.
- Crazy Horse: You will not be thinking of amusing things to say for long, scout.
- California Joe Milner: Oh, I don't know about that. Right now I'm a'thinkin' about my chances of meeting up with you down in the Hot Place, and it amuses me quite a bit.
- Crazy Horse: Perhaps I will give you a taste of that "Hot Place"... before you die.
- California Joe Milner: Yeah, and I'll bet you'll give 'er a try, too, you red heathen you! Go ahead, shoot your best shot!
- Crazy Horse: There is time. First I intend to see if I can make a trade. One small muskrat for the pelt of a broadtail beaver.
- Benton Conant: You can't win, Custer. Your only chance is to surrender to me.
- Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer: Surrender? I don't know the meaning of that word.
