- Big Jim: Say, Clarke, when you were in the army, did you ever fire one of them Gatling guns?
- Lt. Clarke: Yes, as a matter of fact I did. It was quite an interesting experience. I was in command of a patrol sent out to discipline a band of troublesome Indians. We trailed them and finally trapped the lot of 'em in a box canyon. I remember there were several families of them - men, women, children - and I had the Gatling gun set up at the canyon entrance... and I operated it myself.
- Jojo: And what happened?
- Lt. Clarke: A Gatling gun is an excellent instrument of discipline.
- Francisco Martinez: In your country you have a weasel that kills for the joy of killing. Senor Clarke is a human weasel.

- Fritz: "Notice: Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, has been executed and Juarez declared President of Mexico". Well, it looks like we're out of a job.
- Lt. Clarke: Fortunes of war. Well, it's a wise thing when you lose one job to start looking for another.

- Lt. Clarke: Gold and silver deposits banked here.
- Fritz: Did I ever tell you I could open the combination of any safe or vault in less than two minutes time?
- Lt. Clarke: No, that's one of your talents that you failed to mention. Perhaps we'll be able to utilize it.
