Maj. Amos Dundee:
[after the Apache ambush] How did they know?
Samuel Potts: They're Apache. Maj. Amos Dundee: [on Riago] And just what in hell is he? Riago: I am tame Apache. A camp dog. Christian Indian. Charriba, is Apache. Maj. Amos Dundee: Sam, you take this "camp dog" and go find me Charriba. Samuel Potts: That's what you pay us for, Amos.

Maj. Amos Dundee:
[Dundee and his men have brought back Tyreen and the escaped Confederates to the fort] Well, Captain, I brought back your wandering boys. Now you tell me how they got loose.
Capt. Frank Waller: They clubbed two guards and went over the wall. It should be pointed out, Major, that at the time of their escape, 134 men of this command were a half day's march from here, either digging graves or rotting in the sun, waiting to be buried. Maj. Amos Dundee: I want every prisoner that can walk on this parade ground in ten minutes - including those in irons.

Maj. Amos Dundee:
[having found Riago crucified to a tree] Go cut him down, Sam.

Maj. Amos Dundee:
[referring to Potts's Apache scouts] You expect me to believe these Apache would turn on their own families, track down their own people?
Samuel Potts: Well, why not? Everybody else seems to be doin' it.

Maj. Amos Dundee:
[Tyreen and his men are caught after trying to escape] Evening, Ben.
Capt. Benjamin Tyreen: Good evening, Amos. Maj. Amos Dundee: You should've tried it *before* I took command. Capt. Benjamin Tyreen: Command of what? The burial detail?

Maj. Amos Dundee:
Captain Tyreen, is the prospect of your serving under your country's flag once again more appealing than continuing to drag its chains in this prison?
Capt. Benjamin Tyreen: It is *not* my country, Major Dundee. I damn its flag, and I damn you. And I would rather *hang* than serve! [the Confederate prisoners begin whistling "Dixie" and rattling their chains, creating a loud racket] Sgt. Gomez: [to Dundee] Corporal Veitch just died, sir. Maj. Amos Dundee: [shouts] Then hang you shall! [noise dies down] Maj. Amos Dundee: You're going to stand trial for a charge of murder, Ben. You and your four good friends. That guard you clubbed just died.

Captain, give my regards to General Carleton.
