Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie : It's all over for Grimes; it's all over for Trooper Matthews, and if Diablito had gotten a hold of those repeating rifles, it would be all over for a lot of other people.

  Army Chaplain : Colonel, I'm not questioning your orders.

  Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie : I know you're not. It's just an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...

  Army Chaplain : Wait a minute. You can't understand unless you complete the quotation. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Vengeance is mine. I will repay, sayeth the Lord."

  Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie : I understand and I accept... but I don't have to like it.

  Army Chaplain : Yours isn't an easy job.

  Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie : Sometimes it isn't. Believe me, Chaplain, sometimes it isn't.

  Army Chaplain : Good night, Ranald.

  Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie : Good night, Chaplain. Thanks again.
