The Colonel
- The Colonel: There are those in Washington who believe the West will never be settled, the Northern Pacific Railroad will never breach Nebraska, a hostile Lakota will never submit to providence. And it is that kind of small-minded thinking that say this horse will never be tamed. Discipline, time, and patience are the three great levelers.
- The Colonel: There are those in Washington that the west never will be settled. The northern Pacific railroad will never breach Nebraska... A Hostile Lakota, will never submit to providence. And it is that manner of small thinking that would say this horse never could be broken. Discipline, time and patience arre the three great levelers.
- Spirit: [When the Colonel thinks he has spirit broken] Sometimes a horse has gotta do what a horse gotta do.
- The Colonel: Mustang?
- Spirit: And this was one of those times.
- Soldiers: [as Spirit wrestles with the Colonel] Oh, no!
