Frank McGrath: Charlie Wooster

Quotes 

• Charlie Wooster : Isaiah told me about the cave and them bats. Seems like, in the old days, the young boys were brought here by their fathers and put in the cave overnight. The next day they came out. If they did come out they were accepted as men. It was an ordeal all men had to go through.

• Kate Sheffield : I love my father, Mr Camden. Where there is love, there is no fear.

  Eric Camden : Yeah, well, sometimes where there's love, it can reveal your own weakness knowing that even if you're not forgiven, maybe you might be understood.

  Charlie Wooster : I never knew a brave man who didn't own up to being scared once in a while. Only a fool claims to be brave all the time, y'know. Or a liar.

• Charlie Wooster : Scared? What's to be scared of? Bats ain't nothing. Just like little mice with wings. Hah, in fact I was very fond of them before we left there.

• Charlie Wooster : [Coop and Charlie survey the empty streets of the town]  Well, I never expected them to meet us with a brass band.

• Charlie Wooster : Coop, a town don't just move out halfway through a plate of ham and eggs, does it?

  Cooper Smith : This town did, Charlie.

  Charlie Wooster : What do you think it was? Indians?

  Cooper Smith : There'd be a sign of a fight or something.

• Charlie Wooster : [Charlie bursts into the saloon]  COOP! LIKE I SAID. Whole town's been massacred.

  Isaiah Quickfox : I saw the lights. My name is Isiah Quickfox - I live here.

  [He is the one solitary Indian that stands in front of Charlie and Coop] 

  Charlie Wooster : You're not fooling us any. You probably got a whole war party hidden behind the buildings.
