- Captain Salazar: All right, you did not accept my terms, so you're all still my prisoner. If you'd have killed me, I would have been martyred. Now I'll merely be disgraced.
- Bigfoot Wallace: Not in my eyes.
- Long Bill Coleman: [In the desert] Still wish I had my harmonica. It's dreary out here without no tunes.
- Bigfoot Wallace: [Speaking about the Apache] Oh, you put a bullet in the right place, they'll die the same as you and me. Their skins ain't the same color as ours, but their blood is just as red.

- Captain Salazar: You're a lucky man, Corporal. If you saw Gomez, you're the only white man to do so and live.
- Bigfoot Wallace: [about two Mexican soldiers who cannot walk any more] They're finished, Captain. We all got our finishin' point, and these boys have reached theirs.
- Augustus McCrae: [Asking about the lepers] What are they, Bill? Dead or alive?
- Long Bill Coleman: Well, the one I seen looked somewhere in-between.
