Sgt. John Chawk:
[of a hand-pumped railroad cart] Ladies and gents, this is the Spitball Express. Heroes ride free;
[eyes Adelaide suggestively] Sgt. John Chawk: ladies at their own risk. As far as majors are concerned, the end of the line comes a lot closer than they think. All aboard!

Adelaide Geary:
Heroes? Saints living in the desert? My God, they tried to rape me! And blackmail you! It's a wonder they haven't shot you already! No, Thorne, they're only men - and damned poor specimens at that!
Major Thomas Thorn: I have less right than any man on earth to judge them. Adelaide Geary: Or to judge yourself either. Major Thomas Thorn: [pauses] You may be right, what you say. They're human beings. But they're more than that. They have one thing in them that is a miracle and a mystery. It redeems them. They don't know what it is themselves, but they have it. I have to save it. Adelaide Geary: You really believe this? [he nods] Adelaide Geary: If you do, Thorn, if you do... you may be worth all of them.

One act of cowardice doesn't make a man a coward forever, just as one act of bravery doesn't make a man a hero forever.
