Quotes from

Louisa Frederici Cody: Who are you?
[the woman turns around]
Louisa Frederici Cody: An Indian! What do you mean by breaking into my room and stealing my clothes?
Dawn Starlight: I-I didn't come here to steal
Louisa Frederici Cody: Maybe you Indians have different word for it, but that my dress you have on
Dawn Starlight: I tell you I didn't come here to steal


William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody: When you do an Indian a favor, he never forgets it. But if you do him bad, he never forgets that either.


Sen. Frederici: Well, that's it! That's my letter you telling you I was coming. I mailed it a week before I left.
Sgt. Chips: That's nothing. Private Mulligan didn't get the letter with his reprieve until days after they hung him. Come to think of it, he never did get it.
