- Teddy: Only trouble riding night hawk, a man's gotta find a way to stay awake.
- Jim Quince: Well, I sure don't. This old pony take care of the herd all by himself, make a circle, not even jog me awake. Oh, unless a steer takes off sometimes. But I'll tell you, Teddy, I think he would even sing to 'em if he ever set his mind it. Yeah, he's a pretty good old pony.
- Little Hawk: White man's food.
- Pete Nolan: Thank you, White Deer.
- Little Hawk: We not like it but we have no choice. No buffalo, no antelope. We must not stop to hunt. We must eat cows.
- Pete Nolan: If you just do as I say.
- Rowdy Yates: What's eating you, Pete?
- Pete Nolan: It's something private.
- Rowdy Yates: There's nothing private about Cheyenne butchering our beef.
- Pete Nolan: Well, this Cheyenne happens to be a chief named Little Hawk.
- Rowdy Yates: That don't mean nothing to me.
- Hey Soos: What does it mean to you?
- Rowdy Yates: Yeah, what's it mean to you?
- Hey Soos: Senora, is it not possible, that across the river in my country, it may not be any better for you?
- White Deer: Oh, it will be. Longarm
- [Pete]
- White Deer: has said so. And Little Hawk promises it.
- Little Hawk: You know our custom. Cheyenne not man until he has dreamed and found his medicine. You will lead us to river and then we will be free.
- Rowdy Yates: You really want these people to get away, don't you?
- Pete Nolan: That's right, I do. Why shouldn't they be free to go where they want to.
- Rowdy Yates: I ain't got no arguments against that.
- Hey Soos: I have. I tell you why. They rob and kill and mutilate. I wish you could see what they did to my father.
- Pete Nolan: That was Comanches, Hey Soos.
- Hey Soos: It's all the same. Can you honestly tell me these people will not do it?
