  Bart Maverick : [narrating]  Mostly, you don't catch me hanging around army posts. I don't have a hankering for the military life. But, this fort was different. There was always a big poker game going on in the Sutler's store. Trappers in from the wilds would take a hand, and some of those Calvary boys in blue were pretty sharp card players. You know the kind. When payday came around, they'd wind up with most of the money in the barracks. So, whenever I was in the neighborhood, I'd drop in and try to even things up a little.

• Bart Maverick : [voiceover]  I was the most unmilitary trooper this fort had ever seen.

• Bart Maverick : The poor always tryin' to get the rich, and usually do.

• Benedict : Maverick, it's been said you love money more than anything else.

  Bart Maverick : It's been said right.
