- Pauline Cushman: My vanity case, where's my vanity case?
- Rowdy Yates: It's right here, Ma'am.
- Pauline Cushman: I'm an actress by profession. What's an actress without her vanity case, without her paints and powders to help make her beautiful. This is all I have left. They took everything else.
- Gil Favor: They?
- Pauline Cushman: Those Indians. Those dreadful painted savages. It was horrible.
- Pauline Cushman: Thank you, Mr Wishbone, I'm most grateful for all your help.
- Wishbone: I'm just following orders, Ma'am, just following orders.
- Pauline Cushman: Mr Yates?
- Rowdy Yates: Mm?
- Pauline Cushman: I take it you didn't fight in the war?
- Rowdy Yates: What gave you that idea?
- Pauline Cushman: You don't seem to hate me as much as the others.
- Rowdy Yates: Maybe I just don't show it as much, Ma'am.
- Dan Madox: WHAT KIND OF MEN ARE YOU? PAYING COURT TO HER? DON'T YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS? Don't you know Pauline Cushman when you see her? Don't you know the Yankee spy who brought death to your friends and kinfolk?
- Pauline Cushman: I was never a good actress. All I had was my youth. And now, even, even that's beginning to fade.
- Dan Madox: Well, no matter what you have to pay, there'll still be others who pay it more, thanks to you.
- Pauline Cushman: How much do you want, Dan? How high a price? My life? Will that set things straight?
- Dan Madox: Too late for setting things straight.
- Kirby: You put another show on for us, Ma'am? 'Cos we'd like that real fine. Only this time, put on the same show you did right after the war. You know, the only one you did in those show houses where you got up and told all the folks about the big, brave, noble deeds you did for our country.
- Dan Madox: What is it you want from me, Major? You've already taken most of what I hold dear. My rank, my honour, my self-respect. What else would you like?
- [Pauline had the rank of Major for her work for the Yankees]
- Pete Nolan: Hey, that's no song to play to a bunch of Texans. That's a Yankee song.
- Bert Pearson: I was a Yankee once, remember?
- Jim Quince: Which outfit did you fight with anyway?
- Bert Pearson: 28th New York Cavalry. Any of you boys run into it?
- Pete Nolan: I tell you, Bert, if we had've, you wouldn't be here now.
- Bert Pearson: Maybe you'll like this song better.
- [He plays 'Dixie' on his mouth organ]
