Wild Eagle: I pay you $24 and a handful of beads. O'Rourke: Now wait a minute. You're out of line. Wild Eagle: Seem fair to me. You people buy entire island of Manhattan for same price. Agarn: Aw, it was a lousy deal, chief. In a hundred years, they won't get a nickel for that place.
-
Wild Eagle: (placing meat order) How about some nice squab? Maybe six. Agarn: Half a dozen skinny, little chickens. Wild Eagle: Agarn good man, O'Rourke, but have no class.
-
Standup Bull: (doing standup routine) Funny thing happened on the way to Hekawi camp. Ran into buffalo. Turned out to be my mother-in-law! Speaking of my family, take my squaw. Please. But seriously, tribe, about my brother-in-law, him not lazy. Him too light for heavy work and him too heavy for light work. Laugh up, laugh up! These are the stories. What this, audience or war council? I know you're out there, hear you ughing. About my squaw -- she very neat. I get up in dark of night for bowl of water. When I come back, my buffalo skin is made. Wild Eagle: Standup Bull, don't signal us. We signal you.

Agarn: Sarge, I gotta hand it to you. When it comes to being shifty, sneaky and double-dealing, you're the tops. O'Rourke: Ah, thanks, Agarn, but there's always room for improvement.
-
Agarn: Alright, Sarge. What's the big idea? You know I'm a lousy cook. It takes me 30 minutes to boil a 3 minute egg!
