Quotes

Yancy Derringer : Mr. Colton, have you ever noticed the medal Pahoo wears?
John Colton : Yes.
Yancy Derringer : Well, it commemorates the treaty made by the United States and the Pawnee nation, the Table Creek Treaty. It was signed by the Great White Father - President Buchanan in 1857 - and it guaranteed the Pawnee nation the protection of the U.S. Army against the Cheyenne and Arapahoe.
John Colton : Pahoo, listen to me. Go back to your tribe, yes, have them appoint you their spokesman, then go back to Washington; demand your legal rights. Make the War Department protect your people with soldiers as the treaty says.
Yancy Derringer : Exactly what I had in mind.
John Colton : Oh?
Yancy Derringer : I thought you might give us a letter of introduction to the right people.
John Colton : Of course.

John Colton : What are you doing here?
Agatha Colton : I was going to send my regards, but then Yancy persuaded me to bring them along in person.
John Colton : Yancy? You mean you traveled all the way from Washington with him without a chaperone?
Colorado Charlie : Well, now Pahoo was there - and I was there with him.
John Colton : Yancy, you're going to answer to me for this!
Yancy Derringer : Charlie, I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you. I really don't understand how such a beautiful sister could have such a homely brother.
Colorado Charlie : Yeah! Yeah!
