Homer Banning
- Flint McCullough: What's the matter?
- Homer Banning: He's an Injun.
- Flint McCullough: Well, yeah, he's not a Mescalero, he's a Shoshone. That's a friendly tribe. In fact when I met Sweeney, he was on the warpath against the Mescaleros. Maybe that's why I didn't see any. He chased them all away. Now look, I found him the same way I found you. Alone and in trouble. I don't know what happened to his folks but I wouldn't be surprised if the Mescaleros got them too. That makes him one of you. Except worse, he hasn't got anybody.
- Homer Banning: He's an Injun.
- Flint McCullough: He's a frightened little boy.
- Homer Banning: Did you see any Indians?
- Flint McCullough: I sure did. In fact I brought one with me. Kids, meet a fellow traveller. His name is Sweeney.
- Flint McCullough: It's all right, he's dead. His horse must have been wandering around ever since the raid last night. We can sure use him.
- Homer Banning: Look what I found.
- Flint McCullough: Good boy, what about the poles?
- Homer Banning: Found two good ones. Injuns must have missed where we put them away..
- Flint McCullough: We're going to build a travois quicker than you can say Mississippi River.
- Homer Banning: It don't have no salt.
- Cassie Banning: It doesn't have any salt. Because we haven't got any salt.
- Homer Banning: Why do you make soup out of dried beef? Nobody makes soup out of dried beef.
- Cassie Banning: HOMER! If it weren't for Mr McCullough, we wouldn't even have this. We wouldn't be here safe and alive. I'm ashamed of you.
- Homer Banning: Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Anyway, I heard too much salt gives you warts.
- Homer Banning: Say, Cass. What are these squishy things in the mash?
- Cassie Banning: WORMS! I dug them up just for you.
- Flint McCullough: You mean to tell me you've been here ALL NIGHT?
- Homer Banning: Well, ah. He was hard to find.
- Flint McCullough: What did you bring your grandfather's rifle for?
- Homer Banning: Well, in case we met up with any Mescaleros.
- Flint McCullough: Where'd you find him?
- Homer Banning: Ah, well, ah, he kinda found us. See, we sort of got lost and when we met up with him, we told him we were sorry we acted the way we did and now he ain't mad at us any more. He's even going to show us how to make hats out of rabbit skin.
- Flint McCullough: [Flint is dumbfounded by the story of the boys' antics, and especially Sweeney's cheeky grin] All right. Come on, let's go. Come Sweeney.
- [Another rabbit is snared]
- Flint McCullough: Come on, let's have breakfast.
- Sweeney: Me no afraid of squaw. Me no afraid of Mescalero. Me kill 'em.
- Homer Banning: Did you ever really kill anybody?
- Sweeney: So far only rabbit.
