Moroni Olsen: Supt. Andrew Standing

Quotes 

• Vicky Standing : Anything serious, Dad?

  Harlan Chambers : Just a little Indian trouble at my camp.

  Supt. Andrew Standing : Nothing for you to worry about.

  Harlan Chambers : This is hardly the best time for you to have come out here, Vicky, but I can't tell you how glad I am to see you.

  Vicky Standing : Don't tell me I leave you speechless, Harlan.

  Harlan Chambers : You always did.

• Susannah Sheldon : Oh, Mr. Monty, I'm so glad you're back. I've been so worried.

  Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : You shouldn't be up this late, Sue.

  Susannah Sheldon : But I had to tell you. Little Chief says the Indians are going to kill all the white men and redcoats, because of what happened at the railroad camp.

  Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Railroad camp?

  Supt. Andrew Standing : What happened, Sue?

  Susannah Sheldon : The Indians tried to sell Mr. Chambers his own horses back, and Mr. Chambers got so mad, because the Indians were trying to cheat him, he said he was going to bring soldiers out to make them behave. The Indians didn't like that, and when they tried to leave, the woodmen pulled them off their horses and started hitting them!

  Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : I've been trying to reach Big Eagle and tell him he has nothing to fear from Chambers's threats.

  Supt. Andrew Standing : I'm afraid it's too late for talk now.

  Vicky Standing : What is it, Father? Trouble?

  Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Yes, plenty, and our friend Chambers started it.

• Randall : I was taken prisoner while on patrol, sir, and held up in Big Eagle's camp. Just before dawn this morning, Inspector Montague was brought in. I was released to give you a message.

  Supt. Andrew Standing : Go on.

  Randall : Big Eagle demands that the railroad leave his territory within the next two days, or Inspector Montague will not be released and the hostilities will be reopened.

  Vicky Standing : What are you going to do, Father? You must send some word.

  Supt. Andrew Standing : There's only one answer to such a demand. Refusal.

• Harlan Chambers : Looks to me as if Big Eagle is showing his defiance. He knows the dispensing of justice belongs to the mounted police.

  Supt. Andrew Standing : I'll bring it up when he comes to sign the peace treaty.

  Harlan Chambers : If it's ever signed.

  Supt. Andrew Standing : Chambers, if I should decide to send Vicky home, could you do anything for me in way of transportation?

  Harlan Chambers : Why, I certainly could, sir.
