Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Listen, Sue, you and I are going to have a little talk. There never was anything to be afraid of that can't be cured by one little word. Do you know what that word is? Courage. It can beat the toughest situation that ever happened. You see, when you're afraid of things, the more you think of them, the bigger they get. But if you just throw your head back and say, 'I won't be scared of anything anymore,' then you're not.
Susannah Sheldon : Aren't you ever afraid of anything?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Well, let's put it this way. Whenever I meet up with something I'm not quite sure of, I decide first thing that everything's going to be all right. Whatever it is, I'm going to lick it. And usually, it does come out all right.

Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : This is Miss Susannah Sheldon.
Susannah Sheldon : Just call me Sue.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Now, young lady, we'll have to arrange sleeping quarters for you.
Pat O'Hannegan : Where would that be, sir?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Your room.
Pat O'Hannegan : What?
Susannah Sheldon : Am I to sleep with him?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Oh, no. Pat can sleep out here on the couch.
Susannah Sheldon : But I wouldn't want to take Mr. Pat's room.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Oh, that's all right. Pat'll be very comfortable, won't you, Pat?
Pat O'Hannegan : Oh, yes, sir.

Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Pat, you old pirate! Why didn't you tell me to change uniforms? Why, she's a beauty!
Pat O'Hannegan : Tell you? I did tell you!
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : You didn't tell me anything of the kind! That's just the kind of thing you should tell me! When did she get here? You didn't even tell me she was young!
Pat O'Hannegan : Two days ago.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : And I had to be out on patrol. Why, she's beautiful. She's pretty as a picture! You didn't even tell me she had blue eyes! And deep blues eyes at that!

Vicky Standing : Dad didn't think I should come, even for a visit.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : You must find it rather rugged.
Vicky Standing : I've been wondering...
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : What?
Vicky Standing : Well, whatever was it that made a man like you take a job like this?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : There are times when it's rather hum-drum, but right now you're here.
Vicky Standing : And I'm going to change things. Inspector Montague, we're going to give a dance next Wednesday night. A real one. Dress uniform and frills.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : A dance?
Vicky Standing : You do dance, don't you?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Well, I - yes, yes, of course.
Vicky Standing : Splendid. Being the only woman in the vicinity, I'm bound to be popular.

Susannah Sheldon : Are you the chief Indian?
Chief Big Eagle : Me Big Eagle.
Susannah Sheldon : Well, I certainly hope Mr. Standing makes you Indians behave this time! And if you got what you deserve, he'd send you all to jail! That's where you belong for what you've been doing! What gives you the right to ...
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Here, here, Sue. You'll have to forgive her, Big Eagle. This little girl was the only survivor of the wagon train.
Chief Big Eagle : Golden Hawk, little spirit of the sun, Big Eagle sorry you have trouble. Will not happen again.
Susannah Sheldon : I don't see why you want to fight the white people anyway. They haven't done anything to hurt you.

Susannah Sheldon : You look very nice.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Thank you, Sue.
Susannah Sheldon : How do you think I look?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : You look very nice, too. Where did you get that dress?
Susannah Sheldon : Mr. Pat bought it for me.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Well, well, good for Pat.
Pat O'Hannegan : Thank you, sir.
Susannah Sheldon : It'd be a nice dress to go to a party in.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : You'd be the belle of the ball.
Susannah Sheldon : If I was invited to a party.

Pat O'Hannegan : What are you doing? Give me that!
Susannah Sheldon : But it's only a piece of old buffalo skin I've been using to polish Mr. Monty's boots.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Why, Sue, that's Mr. Pat's pride and joy. It's his toupee!
Susannah Sheldon : Toupee?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Sure. Show her, Pat.
Pat O'Hannegan : Yes, sir.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : No, no, no, put it on.
Susannah Sheldon : Oh, it's your hair! I'm awfully sorry! I didn't know! You look so handsome you'd think you'd want to wear it all the time.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Oh, yes, he's a real lady-killer with that on.

Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : This is the music I learned to waltz to. I can remember it just as if it had been tonight.

Harlan Chambers : I'd like you to be there when I went home for the holidays.
Vicky Standing : Well, Harlan, I may have other plans. I might decide to become a pioneer woman at that. Don't you think I could, Inspector Montague?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Do what?
Vicky Standing : Don't you think I could become a pioneer woman?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : I'm sure you could, if you put your mind to it.
Vicky Standing : Well, Harlan, that's one vote for me.

Vicky Standing : Maybe someday you'll teach me an Indian dance.
Little Chief : Unh.
Susannah Sheldon : Isn't he rude? These Indians certainly are a problem.
Vicky Standing : You don't seem to have much trouble handling Little Chief.
Susannah Sheldon : It took time for me to understand him, though, but it was worth it.
Vicky Standing : Really?
Susannah Sheldon : Yes, because I expect to be here for a long time. But it wouldn't be worthwhile for you to go to all that trouble, because you're going home soon.
Vicky Standing : Am I?
Susannah Sheldon : Aren't you? Mr. Pat said you were, and I expect you wouldn't like it out here anyway, because it's full of ...
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Sue, that's enough. Goodnight, now.
Susannah Sheldon : Goodnight.

Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : You'll have to forgive her, Vicky. She's a somewhat strange child.
-
Susannah Sheldon : Oh, Mr. Monty, I'm so glad you're back. I've been so worried.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : You shouldn't be up this late, Sue.
Susannah Sheldon : But I had to tell you. Little Chief says the Indians are going to kill all the white men and redcoats, because of what happened at the railroad camp.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Railroad camp?
Supt. Andrew Standing : What happened, Sue?
Susannah Sheldon : The Indians tried to sell Mr. Chambers his own horses back, and Mr. Chambers got so mad, because the Indians were trying to cheat him, he said he was going to bring soldiers out to make them behave. The Indians didn't like that, and when they tried to leave, the woodmen pulled them off their horses and started hitting them!
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : I've been trying to reach Big Eagle and tell him he has nothing to fear from Chambers's threats.
Supt. Andrew Standing : I'm afraid it's too late for talk now.
Vicky Standing : What is it, Father? Trouble?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Yes, plenty, and our friend Chambers started it.

Little Chief : Iron horse not go away, you die.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : The iron horse won't go away, Little Chief, not for me or anyone else.
Little Chief : Chief Redcoat big fool. All white men die.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : If they do, many more will come, and that will be bad medicine for the Indians.
Little Chief : Big talk. Indians kill them, too. I get cold water for sick head.
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Thanks. That would be a help.
Little Chief : Do it for Golden Hawk. She friend. Too bad you die. Make her feel sorry.
-
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : Sue!
Susannah Sheldon : Oh, Mr. Monty, have they hurt you?
Inspector Angus 'Monty' Montague : I'm all right. How did you get here?
Susannah Sheldon : I came to see Mr. Big Eagle. Mr. Standing sent to another post for help, but they can't get here in time, so after dark tonight, he's coming with some men to try to rescue you.
