  Amos Bixby : What the Hell is going on?

  Wild Bill Hickok : I had a dream.

  Amos Bixby : If there'd been anyone in the upper, you'd have sent him to Hell on a shudder.

  Wild Bill Hickok : Sorry, Mister Bixby.

  Amos Bixby : My God, Mister Otis. You will stow those damned irons in your carpet bag or I'll stop this train and set you out in Wyoming on your boots.

  Amos Bixby : [narrating]  In September of 1874 Wild Bill Hickok came back to the Old West. I didn't place him then because he was wearing a different name and he had a strange bee in his bonnet, a deadly dream that was eating out his soul. A nightmare that he had to hunt down and face up to before it turned him into a raving maniac. I oughta know. I was there.

• Wild Bill Hickok : I'm a man of comity. I've always dodged a fight.

  Mrs. Poker Jenny Schermerhorn : Comity, sure. You're the most politest shootist who ever blew a man's brain out.

• Wild Bill Hickok : In the first place, the Great Spirit did not give you these hills. You took this land by force. You took it from the Cheyenne, the Shoshoni, and the Arapaho. You took it with the lance and tomahawk. Now the white man makes war on you. What's the difference?

  Crazy Horse : The whites have no honor. White man wants death, comes out of season.

  Wild Bill Hickok : That's a thing called progress.

  Crazy Horse : A thing called greed.

• Crazy Horse : You have lost a friend.

  Wild Bill Hickok : So it seems.

  Crazy Horse : And found one.

  Wild Bill Hickok : Everything done?

  Crazy Horse : It is done. I cover the little one with the robe. She will be healed and well and whole in the other world.

  Wild Bill Hickok : Do you have the right to wear your own name again?

  [Crazy Horse nods] 

  Wild Bill Hickok : And then I'll be saying good-bye, Crazy Horse.

  Crazy Horse : Hickok.

  Wild Bill Hickok : You heard One Eye call my name.

  Crazy Horse : Yes. You are Uhgata, the Shooter, the one who killed Whistler the Peacemaker.

  Wild Bill Hickok : That was another time. I was young and headstrong.

  Crazy Horse : It was a bad thing.

  Wild Bill Hickok : Can't be undone.

  Crazy Horse : I will tell no others. But, Long Hair, though you and I are brothers, we must never meet again. Hear me, my friend. These are my words. We must never cross paths in the tomorrow. For if we do, I will see only a white enemy. And you will see only an Indian. And we will both solve the great mystery. Ohinyan, Long Hair.

  Wild Bill Hickok : Ohinyan. Forever.

• Tim Brady (Bartender) : I hope you don't think I had...

• Wild Bill Hickok : What are Crows doin' in Sioux territory?

  Charlie Zane : Probably heard about the white buff on the moccassin telegraph.

  Wild Bill Hickok : Fifteen to three.

• Wild Bill Hickok : You're talking yourself to death.
