Nitpick: strange that Melinda Terry has the same last name as her brother as it's specifically stated in the dialogue that she's married and has two children.
Terry (about Anna): The next thing you know she'll be advocating smoking and wearing men's pants. And voting.
Terry (to Custer): We don't make policy, Colonel. We merely carry it out.
Custer (to Terry): Out here on the frontier an officer has the right to question idiotic orders.
Custer: President Grant and his brother, Orville, aren't exactly my most ardent admirers.
California Joe: It sure does beat all how fast an entire Cheyenne village can disappear into thin air.
Anna: I will look forward to our next meeting, Colonel Custer. Custer: I can't wait myself.
Melinda (to Anna): The years have a strange way of passing you by and regrets aren't much consolation as you grow older.
Anna: You came here alone and unarmed? Why didn't you bring the regiment? Custer: You'd be dead right now if I brought them.
Anna (about the Cheyenne): When will they give up? Custer: When they've got our scalps.
