1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: Anyone come, you ain't gonna be in here with me.::Mary Beecher: What are you talking about?::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: I'm talking about you. A white woman. White women only spell trouble for any of us.::Mary Beecher: That's nonsense. We're just two people trying to stay alive.::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: Lady, you don't know how hard I'm trying to stay alive.
1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: Soldier can never think by his heart, ma'am. He got to think by the book.
Lt. Tom Cantrell: [Complaining about the prosecutor's tactics] A soldier's life is at stake and this man is playing cheap legal tricks!
Capt. Shattuck: You are trying to trade your murderer's bravery for the mercy of the court! Isn't that it?::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: No, sir, that is not it at all!::Capt. Shattuck: All right, Rutledge, if that isn't it, what was it?::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: It was because the Ninth Cavalry was my home, my real freedom, and my self-respect, and the way I was desertin' it, I wasn't [voice cracking] nuthin' worse than a swamp-runnin' nigger, and I ain't that! Do you hear me? I'm a man!
[Rutledge enters the court room under guard and presents himself to the President of the Court-Martial]::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: First Sergeant Braxton Rutledge, C Troop, Ninth United States Cavalry.::[the spectators erupt into bedlam. Sitting in the front seats, the officers' wives, especially Mrs. Fosgate, have been chattering constantly, and a crowd of men at the back begin shouting that Rutledge should be hanged, and so forth. Fosgate bangs his gavel repeatedly]::Lt. Tom Cantrell: Mr. President!::Col. Otis Fosgate - president of the court-martial: Order!::Lt. Tom Cantrell: Mr. President! I request this court room be cleared of all spectators. This is not a public show. A soldier's on trial for his life before this court; and, furthermore, by the very nature of the charges alone, this is certainly no place for ladies.::[the ladies, especially Mrs. Fosgate, don't like that, and they begin chattering and protesting again]::Col. Otis Fosgate - president of the court-martial: Request granted. [He glares at his wife] Dickinson, clear this court room of everyone not directly connected with this case!::[the crowd, mostly women in hats, resentfully rise and start exiting. Mary Beecher remains in her seat, looking disgruntled]::Mrs. Cordelia Fosgate: Otis! Otis, tell this person you don't mean *me*.::[Dickinson takes her by the shoulder to escort her out]::Col. Otis Fosgate - president of the court-martial: Out, Cordelia! Captain Dickinson, escort Mrs. Fosgate and her friends to the door.::Mrs. Cordelia Fosgate: Otis Fosgate, wait till I get you home!::[Fosgate clears his throat and glances at the other Court Martial men, who are grinning at him]
[Lucy jumps off her horse, ties it up on the rail, and enters the store where Mrs. Fosgate and Mrs. Hackett are]::Mrs. Cordelia Fosgate: Lucy Dabney! Riding astride! When will your father realize that you are a grown-up young lady?::Mrs. Nellie Hackett: Yes!::Lucy Dabney: [laughs] Papa says as long as I say my prayers and behave myself with the young lieutenants, he doesn't care if I ride like Lady Godiva!
Lt. Tom Cantrell: Mary, when I got word at Fort Linton that the Apaches were in this district and that I'd left you alone, I was really...::Mary Beecher: [severely] Not alone. Sergeant Rutledge was here. And no officer could have protected a woman more gallantly!
[On horseback, Lieutenant Cantrell and some of his officers are escorting Mary Beecher to her home. Rutledge, handcuffed and still wounded from gunfire in his side, rides in the front alongside Cantrell]::Lt. Tom Cantrell: How's the side holding up, Sergeant?::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: [sardonically] You know what they say about us, sir. We heal fast.::Lt. Tom Cantrell: You give me your word you won't try to make an escape, I'll take those irons off you.::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: [Rutledge refuses to look at Cantrell] I can't do that, sir. 'Cause I ain't going back to stand trial.::Lt. Tom Cantrell: Well, don't you be a fool, Brax. What if you did get away? Why, this thing would haunt you until you couldn't stand it.::1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge: You forget, sir. We been haunted a long time. Too much to worry. Yeah, it was all right for Mr. Lincoln to say we were free. [Now he turns to look angrily at Cantrell] But that ain't so! Not yet! Maybe some day, but not yet!

Nadine Groot: Never liked seeing strangers. Maybe it's because no stranger ever good newsed me.
Cherry: There are only two things more beautiful than a good gun: a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere. Ever had a good... Swiss watch?
Sims Reeves: Plantin' and readin', plantin' and readin'. Fill a man full o' lead, stick him in the ground an' then read words on him. Why, when you've killed a man, why try to read the Lord in as a partner on the job?

Thomas Dunson: Take 'em to Missouri, Matt!
Thomas Dunson: Cherry was right. You're soft, you should have let 'em kill me, 'cause I'm gonna kill you. I'll catch up with ya. I don't know when, but I'll catch up. Every time you turn around, expect to see me, 'cause one time you'll turn around and I'll be there. I'm gonna kill ya, Matt.

Laredo (/ləˈreɪdoʊ/ lə-RAY-doh; Spanish: [laˈɾeðo]) is the county seat of Webb County, Texas, United States, located on the north bank of the Rio Grande in South Texas, across from Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. According to the 2010 census, the city population was 236,091 making it the 3rd most populated on the United States-Mexican border, after San Diego, California and El Paso, Texas. Laredo is part of the Laredo-Nuevo Laredo Metropolitan Area with an estimate population of 636,516. Laredo's economy is based on international trade with Mexico. Most major transportation companies have a facility in Laredo. Laredo's location along the southern end of I-35 close to the manufacturers in North Mexico promotes its vital role in trade between the United States and Mexico.
Laredo has the distinction of flying seven flags (the Flag of the Republic of the Rio Grande in addition to the Six Flags of Texas). Founded in 1755, Laredo grew from a villa to the capital of the brief Republic of the Rio Grande to the largest inland port on the United States-Mexican Border. Today, it has four international bridges and one railway bridge. Laredo's weather is semi-arid during the summer and mild during the winter.
You've always been a friend of mine
And that's the way we'll be 'til the day I die
It's good to know you're on my side
'Cause now you know she's leaving me
And I need your help to make her see
So turn on your charm and let it shine
'Cause you've always been the one
Who could make her stay around
So when she gets to the city limit sign
Don't let me down
Oh Laredo, don't let her go
Just take by the heart
And let the wheels turn slow
Oh Laredo, you're my only hope
So get her back to the day we met
'Cause that's as far as she needs to get
But please don't let her go
Oh Laredo
Make her think about the moonlit walks
And the long, long talks by the waters edge
With her feet hanging off the Cane Creek Bridge
And bring to mind the first kiss we shared
At the old town square when she drives down there
'Cause that's a day she said she could never forget
Keep the nights by the candlelight
As an ace in the hole
'Cause those are nights of passion
That I know will bring her home
Oh Laredo, don't let her go
Just take by the heart
And let the wheels turn slow
Oh Laredo, you're my only hope
So get her back to the day we met
'Cause that's as far as she needs to get
But please don't let her go
Oh Laredo
Oh Laredo, don't let her go
Just take by the heart
And let the wheels turn slow
Oh Laredo, you're my only hope
So get her back to the day we met
'Cause that's as far as she needs to get
But please don't let her go
Tear your wings off at the spine and tape them to the back of mine
I can fly higher when I'm tired
My 2 hands are scorched from holding this torch
Mind feels like neon all glowing and bent up
You look good on my back like a shark fin
Rectify desensitized
'Tis the season to drink poison
Tralala was a badhead girl
Your mind's gone greasy it slides right off me
And all the jaded stars spit black cigars
No truce for you
A spec of something that I knew
Gonna take a trip to Laredo
Gonna take a dip in the lake
Oh, I'm at a crossroads with myself
I don't got no one else
Impossibilities at the door
I won't be needing them anymore
Oh, is this the first time in your life?
It's hard just to get by
But oh, my love, don't you even know?
And oh, my love, are you really gone?
Ooooh
And can you see the world through a window?
Are you having troubles in droves?
Oh, it ain't the worst thing I could do
Is get back home to you
I put a bullet in my Kia Lorenzo
A kitchen knife up to my face
Throw me in the deep of Jenner Lake
Believe me when I say
That oh, my love, you don't even call
And oh, my love, is that you on the phone?
Ooooh
And oh, my love, you don't even know
That oh, my love, are you really gone?
Been shanghaied down in Laredo
The sunshine sticks to the dusty floor
I'm listening for the pay phone
A flask rolls in through a hole in the screen door
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
Guess you found out that you can't hold your liquor
Keep your eyes shut, it'll go down quicker
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river, now
Stolen from a shoe box those sweet snapshots blackmail on rocks
Nickels on a squirt gun
The jailbirds sing at the crack of dawn
We got records, they're locked in my head
I gotta a feeling this deal has gone bad
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
Well, put it in the car, got revenge in my liver
Just pass the sign, outside the city limit
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river, now
Stolen from a shoe box those sweet snapshots blackmail on the rocks
Laredo, Laredo
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
Well, put it in the car, got revenge in my liver
Just pass the sign, outside the city limit
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river, now
