Joe Madden: Sally, I've been thinking about Sam - - Sam and me. He's done fine tonight. In a bad spot like this, he's the best help a man could have. Sally: Sometimes it's easier to be brave than honest, Joe. - Coleen Gray (as Sally) in Apache Drums (1951)

---

Sally: It's a kind of pity that I only like bad men and want to make them good. - Coleen Gray (as Sally) in Apache Drums (1951)

---

Sally: You'll have to go without me Sam. Maybe I'm selfish. All I want is what every woman wants - a home - a place in the town where she lives - and an honest husband. Sam Leeds: Yeah, it all adds up kind of dull and tame - - like Joe Madden. - Stephen McNally (as Sam Leeds) in Apache Drums (1951)

Rev. Griffin: If I live to bury Joe Madden, I'll say only four words over his grave: This was a man. - Arthur Shields (as Rev. Griffin) in Apache Drums (1951)

---

Rev. Griffin: Sam Leeds and I have fought together - we saw death ride up to us. I feel I know this man - there's good in him - the kind of good that will help the town you love so much, Joe Madden. - Arthur Shields (as Rev. Griffin) in Apache Drums (1951)

Sam Leeds: I guess the winning hand always comes up after the game has been played. That's the way it always is. - Stephen McNally (as Sam Leeds) in Apache Drums (1951)

---

Sam Leeds: I like your notion, Reverend, that Apaches are just evils the Lord created to try honest men. I'm saved! I'm not an honest man. - Stephen McNally (as Sam Leeds) in Apache Drums (1951)

---

Sam Leeds: Look, Reverend, you give a dog a bad name and everybody throws a stone at him. Sure, I gamble. I drink, too. I killed a man who was trying to kill me. This is a rough country and you got to take care of yourself. - Stephen McNally (as Sam Leeds) in Apache Drums (1951)

---

Sam Leeds: Some men are makers. They got to sweat for what they want. I'm a taker. I got to be one. Sally: You could be good and honest. Sam Leeds: I saw my father work his heart out on a lathe in Bridgeport. He died young and he died broke. He was an honest man. I never want to be one. - Stephen McNally (as Sam Leeds) in Apache Drums (1951)

---

Sam Leeds: You feel it's my fault that you're out here, huh? Rev. Griffin: I put no blame on you now. Sam Leeds: Well, if it'd make you feel any better, you were right. Rev. Griffin: About what? Sam Leeds: I never really cared about the town needin' water, I just wanted to show what a smart fellow I was - I wanted Sally to see that, and make a fool out of Joe. Now I only wish I could tell her I was wrong - about a lot of things. Rev. Griffin: She will know. - Arthur Shields (as Rev. Griffin) in Apache Drums (1951)
