- Jim Bowie: Ma...I killed a man.
- Mrs. Bowie: Did he need killin'?
- Jim Bowie: About as much as any man ever did.
- Doctor: I've doctored more horses than humans. I've just been waiting to try this stuff out on somebody.
- James Black: Let me show you something. Once I saw a fireball pass across the sky, bright as the sun. Then there was a terrific roar, like a hundred cannon. It was the death of a shooting star. Later, I found this fragment of the meteor. This is steel. Pure steel from another world. Tougher and harder than anything on this earth.
