Quotes 

• Flint McCullough : If I get elected to this high honour, I promise to protect you against all foreign aggression.

  Cassie Banning : He means the Mescaleros.

  Flint McCullough : I will serve you diligently and faithfully until I get you to the fort.

• Sweeney : We no fight Mescaleros?

  Cassie Banning : What's the matter, Mr McCullough?

  Flint McCullough : I guess I got a headache from answering too many questions.

• Homer Banning : It don't have no salt.

  Cassie Banning : It doesn't have any salt. Because we haven't got any salt.

  Homer Banning : Why do you make soup out of dried beef? Nobody makes soup out of dried beef.

  Cassie Banning : HOMER! If it weren't for Mr McCullough, we wouldn't even have this. We wouldn't be here safe and alive. I'm ashamed of you.

  Homer Banning : Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Anyway, I heard too much salt gives you warts.

• Homer Banning : Say, Cass. What are these squishy things in the mash?

  Cassie Banning : WORMS! I dug them up just for you.

• Flint McCullough : Have you voted on me yet?

  Cassie Banning : We haven't had time to. Anyway you can take care of yourself and Timmy can't. So your case is not really important. We'll get around to it pretty soon.

  Flint McCullough : Thanks.

• Gideon Banning : Before that night, they might have made friends easy. Shoshone, Mescalero, they're just names to them kids, just Injun names. Me? I'm all for taking them in but I doubt the'd even listen to me. Children, shall we vote on taking him in?

  Cassie Banning : Did the Injuns vote on sparing our folks' lives?

• Flint McCullough : Cassie, do you know where the boys are?

  Cassie Banning : No, Sir. But they had a lot of secrets last night.

  Flint McCullough : You mean, I gotta go out and look for those kids. Now I don't know how I got into this mess, Gideon. I'm sent on a simple errand and I end up with a bunch of kids halfway across the territory. I'm telling you one thing, when I catch those kids, I'm gonna tan their hides.

  [They hear a rifle shot, Flint flings himself onto his horse, Buck, Indian style, his boots not even in the stirrups before he rides off] 

• Cassie Banning : You mustn't excite yourself. Measles can be awful serious in old folks, Poppa.

  Flint McCullough : What did you call me?

  Cassie Banning : While you were asleep, we voted you in. Unanimous. Oh darn it.

  Gideon Banning : Sure, you were elected without one dissenting vote. In the whole history of fatherhood...

  Flint McCullough : Gideon, would you please be quiet. Where's Homer and Sweeney?
