• Anse Harper : I wish I could take that grin off his face.

  Yellowstone Kelly : He's proud... counting coup on us.

  Anse Harper : Coup?

  Yellowstone Kelly : That stick he clubbed us with! A coup stick. Horseback Indians figure anybody can stand safe off and kill a man, but if you can get close enough to touch him and then ride away alive, that's something to tell your squaw about.

• Yellowstone Kelly : When you were a boy, did you ever go out in the woods and catch something wild - a rabbit or bird - take it home with you to keep?

  Anse Harper : Yes, sir.

  Yellowstone Kelly : Well, what happened?

  Anse Harper : Well...

  Yellowstone Kelly : I'll tell you what happened. It either got sick, ran away or died. It's the same way with an Indian. You go trying to tame them, make them live white... it just won't work.

• Yellowstone Kelly : Yeah, he said he was gonna cross the Yellowstone and jump the Sioux.

  Anse Harper : Will he try a fool thing like that?

  Yellowstone Kelly : If he does, the ground is going to be full of soldiers.
