- Paladin: Colonel Benjamin Nunez, I only met him once. Heard enough about him of course. He was almost legendary as an Indian fighter, sort of inspired lunatic who loved the Army almost as much as he hated everybody in it. Could never quite picture him as a peace time officer.
- Paladin: Death be not proud though some have called thee mighty and dreadful for thou art not so. One short sleep past we wake eternally and Death shall be no more. Death, thou shalt die.
- [John Donne]
- Colonel Benjamin Nunez: Justice! Do they expect me to beg for it cap in hand? I've gone too far for that. I'll write my own verdict of justice! With their blood!
