Ben Brigade
- Billy John: I don't know how much they're payin' you to bring me in, it ain't enough. Not nearly enough.
- Ben Brigade: I'd hunt you free. Let's go,
- Ben Brigade: [after meeting with the Mescalero chief] He's got a horse. Wants to make a trade.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: For what?
- Ben Brigade: You. He said they'd been seeing you here. He wants to take you for his squaw.
- Sam Boone: So what do we do now?
- Ben Brigade: Play along with him.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: Play along with him?
- Ben Brigade: If we don't, we're apt to stir up every buck in the country. Come on. Just do like I tell you.
- Sam Boone: Brigade, can't abide to see a woman's hair hangin' from a Mescalero war lance. I sure hope you know what you're doing.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: They told me why you're taking the boy to Santa Cruz.
- Ben Brigade: Did they?
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: They'll hang him, won't they?
- Ben Brigade: Yes, ma'am.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: He's so young.
- Ben Brigade: He killed a man.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: It doesn't bother you, bringing him in, I mean.
- Ben Brigade: No, ma'am.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: You just don't seem the kind that would hunt a man for money.
- Ben Brigade: I am.
- Sam Boone: [referring to Mrs. Lane] Talk to her. Tell her we ain't here to harm her.
- Ben Brigade: Why are you here, Boone? A man needs a reason to ride this country. You got a reason?
- Ben Brigade: [going to meet the Mescalero chief] He'll offer his trade. I'll turn him down.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: Then?
- Ben Brigade: With any luck, they'll ride off. Stay out in the hills, try to figure some how else to get you away from us.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: I see.
- Ben Brigade: No matter what happens, don't break down in front of 'em. If you do, they'll take it wrong. Shame 'em.
- Mrs. Carrie Lane: I don't scare easy, Mr. Brigade.
- Ben Brigade: I hope not.
- Sam Boone: [Brigade loosens the noose around Billy's neck] I thought for a minute there you were gonna let him swing.
- Ben Brigade: So did I.
- Sam Boone: Brigade, I don't suppose there's any way of getting Billy from you? Aside from going over you?
- Ben Brigade: Come and get him.
- Sam Boone: Funny, ain't it? How a thing can seem one way, and then turn out altogether something else?
- Ben Brigade: Boone, you said you wanted to start over. I hope so. 'Cause you don't, I'll be the one comes looking to find you.
- Sam Boone: I'll remember that.
- Frank: So what do we do now?
- Ben Brigade: Sit there and watch your brother hang.
- Frank: You don't mean that.
- Ben Brigade: Don't I?
- Frank: He's only a boy!
- Ben Brigade: He's as old as his gun.
- Frank: It's me you're after, Brigade. You got no quarrel with Billy.
- Ben Brigade: What quarrel did you have with *her*?
- Frank: That was a long time ago. I almost forgot.
- Ben Brigade: A man can do that.
- Sam Boone: Heh-heh. I can't get over the way them Indians wanted to trade her for a horse. If it'd be me, I'd give a whole herd. I guess she's about the best overall good-lookin' woman I ever seen.
- Ben Brigade: She ain't ugly.
- Sam Boone: She sure ain't.
