- [Annie rushes into the jail with her wrists handcuffed behind her back]
- Horace Peabody Jr.: I never thought I'd see the day when someone could lock Annie Oakley in her own handcuffs.
- Annie Oakley: I'm afraid it's worse than that. The man who handcuffed me was supposedly a one-armed man.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: Now you hit the saddle and head straight back to Diablo. I'll get this wagon through to Yuma.
- Tagg Oakley: Hey, if Geronimo is on the loose, you'll need somebody to ride shotgun and who could be better than the sheriff.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: I'll take this alone, Tagg.
- Tagg Oakley: Lofty, it's still National Boys' Week.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: Sheriff, if you don't do what I say and get on that horse, I'll... I'll get up a petition and start a recall proceeding when I get back to Diablo. We'll pin this badge on Jimmy Davis.
- Tagg Oakley: Gosh, Lofty, no need to go that far.
- Ben Porter: Wait 'til tomorrow? That wagon has got to go straight through to Fort Yuma, the Army Post. I got a load of grain, baled hay, and medical supplies out there for the Army. I can't let the wagon stand idle all night in a hick town like this.
- Tagg Oakley: No, you can't, sir. You got a problem, all right.
- Ben Porter: You bet I got a problem. I'm not going to solve it standing here. What kind of crazy town is this where the grown ups go away and leave the kids to run it.
- Tagg Oakley: Wait a minute, sir. I'm gonna talk to the Mayor a minute. Don't leave.
- Horace Peabody Jr.: Holy Smoke! If Tagg gets into trouble with them Apaches, it'll have political repercussions. The voters might blame me for it. What about my campaign next year? I may lose the election. To Jimmy Davis!
- Tagg Oakley: Holy Toledo! High Explosives! Gee! I better get out of here! Don't want to be caught in any brushfires.
- Geronimo: If we fight them, then wagon maybe blow up.
- Ben Porter: So they'll be killed.
- Geronimo: What good gunpowder to Apache if blow up?
- Ben Porter: So you don't get your gunpowder. But the Army doesn't get it either. Why not blow up the wagon?
- Geronimo: You a wise man.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: If this thing blows up, it will blow from here to China.
- Annie Oakley: Lofty, I'd rather be blown up in that wagon than be captured by all these Apaches. So let's get rolling. If they close in on us I'll board the wagon.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: ANNIE, PLEASE!
- Annie Oakley: NO! Let's go!
- Geronimo: Bow need arrow. Rifle need powder. Many time white man sell Apache rifle. What good rifle without powder.
