• Major Seth Adams : When did this little problem present itself?

  Horace Jurist Hamilton : Last night.

  Horace Jurist Hamilton : What do you earn as a scout?

  Flint McCullough : $15 a month.

  Horace Jurist Hamilton : Then I'll pay you no more than fifty cents a day.

• Flint McCullough : I don't want to upset you, Ma'am, but have you any idea of the trouble she might get into?

  Horace Jurist Hamilton : If you expect to extort a fee from me for your menial services by dramatising your task, I will remind you that we have been through this before and we are not to be duped like hysterical parents.

• Horace Jurist Hamilton : She gives me nothing. And unless she learns to have humility and begs me for consideration, I will not forget how she caused me to suffer in front of that Philistine Adams, that Prussian pompous stablehand.

• Horace Jurist Hamilton : For a man who's supposed to know his way around the wild open spaces, you certainly took your own good time finding one little girl.

  Flint McCullough : Well, I found the little girl right off, Mr Hamilton. It was the big girl that took all the time.

• Horace Jurist Hamilton : Mary Louise, would you please stop it. You know as well as I do that our precious, innocent, young daughter is too smart to go where she can't be found. So stop carrying on. Remember, Margaret will want us to suffer.
