Quotes:

Secretary of the Interior: Oh, Henry... you and I fought together at Gettysburg. You had never seen a Negro slave. All you ever knew was that they were human beings with the rights of human beings - and it was worth an arm to you.

Wyatt Earp: Say, you're the doctor around here. How come I always have to perform all the complicated operations?::Doc Holliday: You know I am a dentist, not a doctor. Wait until somebody shoot him in the teeth.

Deborah Wright: Dull Knife, the old chief is much too sick. He'll never make such a trip. Listen...::Dull Knife: If he lives to ride even a mile closer to home, he will die as a man should. There will be no more dying in this place.

Spanish Woman: They will not go back. Life there is not life. They will die here.

Capt. Thomas Archer: Mr. Scott! I told you to cover that flank!::2nd Lt. Scott: I'm sorry, sir.::Capt. Thomas Archer: From now on, you don't scratch until I itch! Is that clear?

Capt. Thomas Archer: Scott, tell me something.::2nd Lt. Scott: Sir?::Capt. Thomas Archer: What put the blood in your eyes?::2nd Lt. Scott: It's just a private matter, sir.::Capt. Thomas Archer: Nothing that affects an officer's conduct is private.

Dr. O'Carberry: Listen to me, Miss Wright. You're a Quaker and you're dedicated to self-sacrifice. Well, I'm dedicated to self-preservation. You know, you want me to go out there, don't you? Yeah, and take me future, me career and me pension... and throw it down the drain. Is that what you want, huh? Yeah, well... that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Miss Plantagenet: You thought this was the prettiest dress you ever saw. Why, you couldn't take your eyes off it.::Wyatt Earp: Well now, that was when I was ten high. Now I'm ace high.

Capt. Thomas Archer: Dull Knife! Little Wolf! What happened today changes nothing. The Indian Bureau is still pledged to provide you with adequate clothing and rations. And you're still pledged to abide by the law. Remember that!::Dull Knife: We are asked to remember much. The white man remembers nothing.

[narrating]::Capt. Thomas Archer: But this wasn't just another day to the Cheyenne. Far from their homeland, as out of place in this desert as eagles in a cage, their three great chiefs prayed over the Sacred Bundles that at last the promises made to them more than a year ago would today be honored. The promises that had led them to give up their own way of life in their own green and fertile country... 1500 miles north.
