Quotes
-
Sgt. Clay Tyce : There's one thing you better learn, Sergeant Major - out here never get in the line of fire.
Sgt. Major Boyd Chambers : Yes, I know. It's the only reason for shooting a man in the back.
-
Sgt. Clay Tyce : Don't stand at attention anybody - I'm only a sergeant. True, I'm the bravest sergeant in the whole of the U.S. Cavalry, but a sergeant nevertheless; non-comissioned by the oversight of the U.S. Congress.
-
Sgt. Clay Tyce : Out of my way, I must reach the lady fair for whom I have fought bloody battles with injun and foreign mercenaries and several wars dating clear back to the Revolution.
Dulcey Coopersmith : Clay! Clay Tice!
Sgt. Clay Tyce : The very same. Wounded am I - half dead, but I plucked out the arrow from my heart and packed the holes with mud and dragged myself on my armholes back here to gaze once more at that face, the soft beauty and the golden flashing smile that heals the wound that breaks the heart with tenderness.
