Carl Benton Reid Quotes:

Preacher Jason: I used my pulpit to teach the wrath of God - hell and damnation, the vengenance of the Lord. And I thought I had won you away from evil. But instead of conquering evil, I only made you fear God. If there's a second chance for us, perhaps I can teach you to love God and so cherish His Word that you can face evil and rise above it.
Judge John J. McLean: A fine sermon! You can repeat it over at the saloon. I might bring the rest of your flock back!


Capt. Robert MacClaw: My troops has extra mounts, sir. I thought perhaps you would like to use one.
Col. Janeway: I'm an infantryman, MacClaw. If I'm going to die, I'm not going to do it sitting down.


Capt. Robert MacClaw: Sir, may I suggest that my troop act as rear guard?
Col. Janeway: Where did you learn cavalry tactics, Captain?
Capt. Robert MacClaw: Well, infantry isn't mobile...
Col. Janeway: Neither is dead cavalry. Ask Custer!
