- Carlos Soldareo: I tried to be patient with you because you are beautiful and young. But I warn you.
- Conchita Vasquez: I'm warning you. If you hurt my father, I'm going to kill you. And don't you forget it.
- Major Seth Adams: Miss Martha. Glory be. Does that smell good.
- Martha Williams: [Giggling] Well, I hope it's fit to eat, Major. It's pretty hard to do things with an open fire.
- Wes Arthur: Well, anything your hands have touched are sure to have the sweetness of honey.
- Martha Williams: It's not supposed to be sweet...
- Wes Arthur: Say, this food is delicious. Fit for a king.
- Simon Williams: Reverend, would you please.
- Major Seth Adams: Is your head cold?
- [the Major's way of reprimanding Wes for wearing his hat at the table]
- Flint McCullough: 'Morning.
- Flint McCullough: You sleep?
- Flint McCullough: No. I'm used to sleeping on my stomach. Besides I had something on my mind.
- Conchita Vasquez: Here, here is food.
- Flint McCullough: Well, can't eat with my hands tied.
- Conchita Vasquez: I will feed you.
- Flint McCullough: No, thanks. I'm really not hungry.
- Conchita Vasquez: No eat?
- Flint McCullough: No. When a man knows he's only got a couple of days to live, I guess he doesn't have much of an appetite.
- Conchita Vasquez: Major Adams would not let you die.
- Flint McCullough: You're wrong.
- Conchita Vasquez: Senor Flint? You like Conchita, yes?
- Flint McCullough: I could hardly hate you for saving my life.
- Major Seth Adams: You got yourself in trouble again, huh?
- Flint McCullough: But I got here, didn't I.
- Major Seth Adams: But what with? What's this?
- Flint McCullough: This is Miss Conchita Vasquez. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here.
- Major Seth Adams: Comanchero.
- Flint McCullough: Huh, huh.
- Major Seth Adams: You help him get away? Why? What's your game, Missy? What are you up to?
- Conchita Vasquez: What does he mean, Senor Flint? Up to?
- Flint McCullough: It's all right, Conchita. The Major here is not very trusting. He thinks you've some sort of trick planned.
- Conchita Vasquez: Oh, no tricks, Senor. I just help Senor Flint to escape and I escaped with him, He tell me you will protect me.
- Major Seth Adams: You oughta know you can't trust a Comanchero any farther than you can throw a wild bull.
- Major Seth Adams: Flint!
- Flint McCullough: Yeah. What's on your mind, Major?
- Major Seth Adams: Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to spell it out for you. But it looks like I'm gonna. A gal like that Conchita can get under a man's skin before he knows what's happening to him.
- Flint McCullough: What are talking about, Major? She's just a little girl to me.
- Major Seth Adams: A little girl, huh. Sweet. gentle, innocent little girl. Just about as gentle as a she-badger, the claws just as sharp and you better look out for it, Boy.
- Flint McCullough: Don't worry about her. She's kinda strange, I'm just trying to make her feel at home. I got no more interest in her than you have.
- Major Seth Adams: You know something funny, Flint. I think, right now, if that girl told you the moon was made of green cheese, you'd believe her.
- Flint McCullough: I don't think that's funny.
- Major Seth Adams: Wasn't meant to be. Flint, we're in a tough situation. Sooner or later we're gonna have a showdown with those Comancheros. You and I have a big job taking care of all these people. There's room for personal feeling whatsoever.
- Flint McCullough: You got any complaints about the way I handle my job?
- Major Seth Adams: If I had, you'd have heard them.
- Flint McCullough: Well, I won't give you any reason to complain. You just run the wagon train. I'll take care of my job. And don't you worry about the girl either. I'll take care of her too.
- Major Seth Adams: All right, Flint. That's good enough for me.
- Martha Williams: Senor Flint is not the type of man who settles down. To make a home. You and he are of two worlds.
- Flint McCullough: This has to stop right now.
- Conchita Vasquez: You do not love me.
- Flint McCullough: No. I think you are a very sweet girl. I don't love you.
- Conchita Vasquez: You think I'm not good enough for you.
- Flint McCullough: Conchita, I didn't say...
- Flint McCullough: You're the one not thinking straight. All right, if you want the story of my life, I had a fight with her last night. She didn't take it very well 'cos I don't want to get married. I don't want to settle down. So she's run off to Carlos and fixed this whole scheme. Can't you see that?
- Major Seth Adams: The only thing I can see is a full-grown man acting like a lovesick puppy.
- Flint McCullough: We'll see. CONCHITA!
- Major Seth Adams: I sure don't like the looks of it.
- Flint McCullough: Well, I wouldn't take the train through if I were you, Major.
- Major Seth Adams: Don't think I will. BILL! You and Charlie, get every man armed and ready for action, will ya. Hop to it.
- Flint McCullough: I got an idea, Major.
- Major Seth Adams: Oh, what's that? Well, Flint, I'm just not gonna let you do it. I think you're just a plain fool if you go up there by yourself.
- Flint McCullough: Look, Major, I got you into this mess, and I'm going to get you out of it. If I come back in a few minutes, you know the plan has worked. If I don't, gp back to Paso Grande. Adios.
- Major Seth Adams: Well, it's your neck.
- Conchita Vasquez: [Flint is whistling while he traverses rocky terrain when he comes upon a damsel in distress] ... Senor, you are afraid of me?
- Flint McCullough: No, just careful.
- Conchita Vasquez: I do not think that you are a coward.
- Flint McCullough: I'm not a fool either.
- Conchita Vasquez: What is more important to me, I know that he will give us the shipment of rifles you carry to get you back.
- Flint McCullough: Rifles?
- Conchita Vasquez: Never mind, hermano. We nned those rifles, Senor Flint.
- Flint McCullough: You're waiting your time, muchacha. The Major won't turn those rifles over to anybody, except the Army post they're to.
- Conchita Vasquez: Not even to save your life, Senor Flint?
- [He shakes his head]
- Conchita Vasquez: [Flint dances with all the girls except Conchita. The music changes, she drops the shoulders of her peasant blouse and begins a sensual dance until Wes wants to dance] ... Have fear for me?
- [Flint nods]
- Conchita Vasquez: Before you fight for me. Now you have fear for me. You do love me
- [and she kisses him]
- Flint McCullough: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that.
- Conchita Vasquez: Sorry that I have love for you?
- Flint McCullough: No, I didn't say that. But I've got a job here on the train. I can't...
- Conchita Vasquez: I don't understand you. You're a man. I'm a woman. Why is it so wrong that we find love for each other?
- Carlos Soldareo: Would I kill the snake that strikes without warning? You have love for the Gringo. You were in his arms last night. Sanchez saw you.
- Conchita Vasquez: The Gringo, Flint, he has much love for me.
- Carlos Soldareo: I will kill him.
- Conchita Vasquez: Wait. I play with him like the cat with the mouse. I learn things from him. Carlos, I know in which wagon are the rifles, I know too where they go through the mountains.
