Quotes 

• Cherokee Ned : Even a wolf doesn't attack a herd.

  Sam Bass : You and your fables.

  Cherokee Ned : A sick one will stray from the herd.

  Sam Bass : Yeah. Yeah.

• Sam Bass : What're you doing running away from the wagon train, huh?

  Margaret Hamilton : Picking daisies.

  Sam Bass : Keep your mouth shut, or you'll be pushing 'em up.

• Sam Bass : Well, I'll be. That's a piece of a woman's petticoat or my name ain't Sam Bass. How do you figure that got there, laughing boy? What do you think, Yellow Cloud? One of yer happy hunting ground ghosts playing games?

  Cherokee Ned : Somebody come from wagon train.

  Sam Bass : Somebody ain't no Indian scout and I can tell you somebody's a female, or I don't know my females. What else does the black sheep of the Cherokee nation read?

  Cherokee Ned : Woman does not belong here. She does not know how to drink.

  [He means how to drink clean water from the waterhole, while he takes a swig from his whiskey bottle] 

• Sam Bass : Royal Cherokee is afraid of an unhappy female. Come on, Brave Nose, lead us to bad medicine and I'll show you how she's worth more than a bag of gold.

• Cherokee Ned : Women worse than whiskey for making trouble.

  Sam Bass : Well, what do you know, son of the chief of Cherokees is afraid of women too.

  Cherokee Ned : One women, six men, trouble. Sick woman. Bad medicine.

  Sam Bass : You got your arithmetic wrong. Five men, one yellow-bellied Indian.

• Cherokee Ned : She's an evil spirit.

  Sam Bass : So what are we? The answer to mother's prayer?
