They say you're pretty good with a gun, Read. Now, just how good?

Gen. Nelson Miles:
You got here fast.
Jim Read: You said it was urgent, General, so we cut across the Stake Plains
Gen. Nelson Miles: With Comanches loose?
Jim Read: We traveled at night, mostly. Comanches hole up at night. It's bad medicine for them.

Jim Read:
Let's head for Medicine Mound. You can see it for miles. The Comanche don't go there except to die.
Jim Read:
Oh, that Mexican girl. No harm will come to her?
Quanah Parker: Tawalka and Morning Star will care for her. She's a captive. She belongs to the tribe.

Jim Read:
This is a good place.
Quanah Parker: Yes. We will live here like our fathers before us and their fathers before them. We were born here... where the wind blows free and there is nothing to break the light of the sun. There are no enclosures and everybody draws a free breath.

Quanah Parker:
If my brother dies, the white man's death will not be as swift as his. We will see your tongue torn out by the root.
Quanah Parker:
There are two white faces. Later, we will find out how long their spirits can stay in their bodies under endless torment.
Quanah Parker:
But our numbers do not increase. And the Americans are without number... they are like weeds... like drops of rain... no end to them.
Jim Read: The time has come to walk the path of the Americans.
Quanah Parker: This has long been on my mind. The Americans are brave. They know many things. We must learn from them... or the sun will set on us forever.
