- Christopher 'Kit' Carson: You wait here, Toro.
- El Toro: Oh, Kit, let me go with you. I know this Judge Trumbull. He's a brave and honorable man. We are simpatico.
- Christopher 'Kit' Carson: He's the best, but his message said he wanted to see me alone.
- El Toro: Are we not compadres? Where you go, I go. Besides I'm nobody. I'll be the little man who isn't there.
- Christopher 'Kit' Carson: You're so right. You won't be there 'cause you'll be here!
- [Because Kit ordered Toro to remain behind, Toro can not testify to Kit's whereabouts when the Judge was murdered]
- El Toro: I knew you should not leave me behind. Now I really am the man who was not there.
- Matt the Sheriff: Are you asking me to release you, Kit? Why with the feeling against you now, I'd be the honored guest at a lynching bee and they'd run me out of office to boot!
- Christopher 'Kit' Carson: Keep your wits about you and stay out of trouble.
- El Toro: Trouble? How could I get into any more trouble than we have already?
- Christopher 'Kit' Carson: You know what I mean - senoritas!
- El Toro: But it is my stomach that is hungry, Kit, not my heart.
