  Welcome Kilgore : Wait! But I wanted him to stay. I wanted to thank him.

  The Padre : When his work is finished, he rides away.

  Welcome Kilgore : But I wanted to see his face, to ask his name.

  The Padre : You cannot see his face. He will wear the mask until there is no longer any need for it. And his name is the Lone Ranger.

  The Lone Ranger : Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!

• The Lone Ranger : Governor, outlaws live in a lonesome world; a world of fear. Fear of the mysterious. I made this mask from my dead brother's clothing. I've worked from behind it ever since. I'll wear this mask until justice has been dealt to the last murderer and outlaw.

• The Lone Ranger : There must be no more talk of fighting.

  Angry Horse : That true. Much talk make warrior weak. Red Hawk talk all time. Angry Horse not talk!

  Chief Red Hawk : If war come, Red Hawk be Indian. Not can be white man. Not can be alone. Red Hawk be Indian, make strong fight.

  The Lone Ranger : Always the young buffalo wish to kill the old buffalo and take his place. And he does kill the old buffalo because he has youth and strength, but has he the wisdom to lead the herd?

• Reece Kilgore : What are you, a renegade? A bandit? What kind of man are you, siding with the Indians against his own people? What's your grudge against me?

  The Lone Ranger : I'm taking you in for murder, Kilgore.
