- [Angry over their mistreatment, the Indians have attacked Crain at his trading post]
- Crain: They broke in here and tried to kill me! They're a bunch of murderin', thievin'...
- Rob McLaughlin: I suggest you listen to the other side of the story first, Marshal.
- Burton: That's a waste of time. They'd only lie.
- Marshal: That's a strange attitude from the man who's supposed to represent their interests.
- Marshal: Who's the spokesman here?
- Watanah: I, Watanah, will speak for my people.
- Marshal: I want to hear what you have to say.
- Watanah: Mr. Crain and Mr. Burton have been cheating and starving my people.
- Marshal: Can you prove that?
- Watanah: Yes, I can prove it.
- Marshal: Then we'll all go down to my office and you can tell me your story.
- Watanah: You mean you would take our word against a white man's?
- Marshal: You have *my* word on that.
