F Troop

Capt. Parmenter: But, Major, shouldn't our first objective be to capture the rifles? Major Winster: Never! Always remember, Captain, that a rifle is of no use without a trigger finger. Capt. Parmenter: But on the other hand, a triggerless finger is no better than a fingerless gun. Agarn: Which is somewhat like having a fingerless finger and a hairless head.

Crazy Cat: There's wise, old Indian saying: "You show me raccoon with nose in mud, and I show you squirrel with nut in tree." Wild Eagle: What does that mean? Crazy Cat: If I knew that, I'd be chief. Wild Eagle: Squirrel may have nut in tree, but I think I got nut in tribe.

O'Rourke: Captain, you just can't let him attack our friends, the Hekawis. It would be wholesale slaughter. Agarn: And retail, too.

Major Winster: Did either of you see a crateful of guns in that teepee? O'Rourke: No, sir, I can't honestly say that I saw any guns. Agarn: I was looking right at 'em and I didn't see 'em.
