• Gen. Rutledge : Oh, Mr. Lane. Anyone who works for the army should dress accordingly.

  Hondo Lane : I work with the army, not for it.

• Gen. Rutledge : [after the whipping]  You see, Lane, there were no incidents. The Indian recognizes the authority of the white man. Learned his lesson.

• Gen. Rutledge : You're not going to turn me over that savage.

  Hondo Lane : Savage? Ponce is a prince of the Apache Nation. Out here he outranks even you.

• [last lines] 

  Col. Crook : He's fought a lot of battles, Hondo. Won most of them. But out here, he'll be remembered for the one he didn't fight.
