Quotes 

• Jason McCord : There's something you don't understand, Wateekah. All men are brothers. The color of their skin doesn't have anything to do with the side that he fights on.

  Chief Wateekah : We shall see... brother!

• Corp. Johnny Macon : Can't we fake it? Make it look real?

  Jason McCord : How do you fake bleeding to death, Johnny? They want a dead man. They won't settle for a stand-off.

  Corp. Johnny Macon : Then it better be me.

  Jason McCord : Why you?

  Corp. Johnny Macon : Because what I have to live for is a court martial and a firing squad.

• Jason McCord : [Flashback to another time]  They're talking about you. I just saw their smoke signals.

  Corp. Johnny Macon : We didn't see any smoke.

  Jason McCord : How could you? Look at this cul-de-sac. It's a natural trap.

• Jason McCord : Smoking, singing are very attractive to the Apaches.

• Jose - Bartender : What is your pleasure, Senor? Food for your body or liquid for the soul?

  Jason McCord : First, I want to get some water for this.

  Jose - Bartender : Rosa. Quel Linda Rosa, what a beautiful rose, Senor.

• Jason McCord : [He kneels beside a rock-covered grave that has a makeshift cross, a rifle half-buried in the ground]  Burgundy. It's the colour of a dark red rose, Johnny. Red as blood.

• Chief Wateekah : Their skin is much like ours, McCord. Why do they not fight on our side?

  Jason McCord : They're trying to earn the new freedom they were given by President Lincoln.

  Chief Wateekah : They have to earn the right to be free.

  Jason McCord : They want to, Wateekah, because it gives them dignity in their own eyes.

• Jason McCord : There was a time when everybody called you the Leader of the Apaches, the Great Orator. Now they call you the Butcher.

  Chief Wateekah : The battle has made my heart of stone, with no soft place in it. Your chiefs gave you half a sword and call you half a man. But we who fought at Bitter Creek know different.

  Jason McCord : I wish you had testified at my trial.
