Quotes 

• Neal Harris : Questions seem to bother you a lot, Mr. Wayne.

  Capt. George Wayne : Only the man who asks them.

  Neal Harris : Well, that's too bad because my livelihood happens to depend on questions.

  Capt. George Wayne : Then I suggest you go back East and ask them. Out here, questions can get you killed.

• James Gordon Bennett : I wish you could write as well as you dress.

  Neal Harris : Oh. Well, it all depends on the incentive, sir. Tonight, the incentive is much prettier than the people I interview.

• George Seton : Haven't you ever rode a horse before?

  Neal Harris : Oh yes, yes. It was quite a while ago, though. I remember that the horse had rockers on it.

• Neal Harris : Mr. Wayne, I was looking at Mr. Ellis' gun. I noticed it has "B Company" stamped on it. That would mean its government property - or am I mistaken?

  Capt. George Wayne : Your mistake could be in asking.
