Sgt. Wilkes : You're a man after my stamp. Wish we'd have had you with us at Bull Run. We might not have run so fast.
Lin McAdam : Well, I wanna tell you somethin'. I was with you at Bull Run. So was High Spade.
High Spade : Only we was on the other side.

[after Lola and Steve escape from the Indians into the cavalry camp]
Lola Manners : Do you mind if I kiss you?
Sgt. Wilkes : No, ma'am, I'd like it. Providin' your man don't mind.
[she kisses him]
Lola Manners : That's for savin' my life.
Sgt. Wilkes : Now you disappoint me. I thought it was 'cause I'm pretty. Got some coffee boilin' on the fire. Wanna just sorta help yourself?
Lola Manners : Oh, coffee. You know, now that I look at you... you *are* pretty.

Lin McAdam : Say, ah, about these Indians. It seems like they hardly ever attack at night.
Sgt. Wilkes : Why?
Lin McAdam : Well, they figure if they are killed in the dark, the Great Spirit can't find their souls and whip 'em up into heaven... or something like that.
