• Devereaux Burke : I'd call her a lot of woman!

  Thomas Craden : She's all of that.

• Sam Houston : What brings you beyond the Pecos?

  Thomas Craden : [Confronting Houston and Burke]  I was chasing a renegade but instead I found two!

• Thomas Craden : We don't need a lot of Yankee dressmakers to tell us what to do.

• Thomas Craden : Gentlemen, can't you see what this means? We'll be a giant of the Western Hemisphere. As a state, we'll just be one of 28. As a Republic we can command the respect and fear of not only the United States, but the entire world. Why should we give up an Empire just for statehood!

• Thomas Craden : You men wait here. I'll ride in alone. These Apaches aren't friendly. I don't want them to think this is a war party.
