Potter : That's Indian country out there!
Calamity Jane : You're not afraid of a few Indians, are you?
Potter : It's not the Indians I'm afraid of. It's their attitudes.

Potter : No. I can always get another scalp.

Calamity Jane : Painless, you're just the man I've been hoping to meet. Painless, there's something about you that appeals to me. Wake up, stupid.

Gov. Johnson : A group of white renegades is smuggling guns to the Indians. We've got to find out who they are before we have an Indian war on our hands.
