- Vern Elwood: [Making fun of Deaf knowing he can't hear. Wouldn't dare do it to his face] Captain, it seems like you love that horse more than you do your wife.
- Jack Hays: Hey, Deaf. Who's a better mount? Your wife, or your horse?
- 'Deaf' Smith: [Can't hear what they're saying] My horse?
- Gator Davis: He sure does love that horse.
- 'Deaf' Smith: I see. You're having a nice jest at the expense of my impairment. The good thing is I don't need to hear no disparaging nonsense from the likes of you. You have something to say that matters, you best say it to my face.
- Kit Acklin: That's right, Captain. No sense gettin' all hot and bothered.
- Gator Davis: [Doesn't know when to stop] Hey, I'm just wondering who bucks harder.
- 'Deaf' Smith: What'd he say?
- Kit Acklin: Nothin'.
- Sam Houston: [Referring to a local tribal chief] Tell him I'm a chieftain.
- Billy Anderson: He's aware.
- Sam Houston: Tell him to kill me.
- Billy Anderson: I don't think that's a good idea, with me standing next to you and all.
- Billy Anderson: [Awe, pride and concern in his voice] He's hardly sixteen, he's already got two scalps on his lance.
- Sam Houston: Friend of yours?
- Billy Anderson: His name's Yellow Knife. He's my son.
- Big Foot Wallace: You sure you don't want a ride?
- Jack Hays: I told you, two grown men can't ride double. It ain't dignified.
- Big Foot Wallace: Oh, you want dignity or blisters?
