- Luke Perry: Look at that - a hundred and ninety thousand dollars worth of gold.
- J. J. Brewster: Well, that's almost enough to have a good time on isn't it, Mr. Perry.
- Luke Perry: Yeah - enough to buy an awful lot of trouble with.
- Luke Perry: Digger Indians.
- J. J. Brewster: Maybe they attacked the trooper.
- Luke Perry: No, I don't think so. They'd have taken his supplies and his clothes. Besides, he was shot. A Digger's never been known to carry a gun in his life, much less know how to use it.
- J. J. Brewster: Then they're not dangerous.
- Luke Perry: I once knew a wild dog that wasn't dangerous until he got some friends.
- Luke Perry: Do you feel up to tellin' us what happened?
- Julian Tibbs: There's not much to tell.
- J. J. Brewster: Well, I'd say the combination of a fortune in gold and a bullet in ya contain certain elements of high advenutre.
- [Brewster hears the sound of horses in the brush]
- J. J. Brewster: Is it Indians?
- Luke Perry: I don't know. Digger Indians haven't been known to ride a horse, but I gave up being surprised by anything when Moses parted the Red Sea.
- Maria Larenz: What about Mr. Brewster?
- Captain Eli: What about him? Want me to take the bullet back?
- Maria Larenz: The animals do not bury their dead. We can not just leave him on the ground.
- Captain Eli: Since he's gone to heaven, I'll never meet him to apologize.
- Maria Larenz: Well, for me I only understand simple things! I understand it is wrong to kill and to steal. I understand the animals you feed with are evil.
- Julian Tibbs: It's all a matter of which animals you feed with. If you're going to feed with lambs, you're going get clawed by the lion. In this world you gotta go out and get your own claws. You buy them with gold - lots of gold. You gotta get it by clawin' lambs.
