- Lazarus (James Cathcart): I have come across a notice in a newspaper that I learned has appeared all over the west: Claire, late of Washington and New Orleans, seeks James, her husband, reply in person in town named Safe Harbor. It may be a trap, but if there is any possibility my wife is there I have to try.
- Major Gaffney: Mister Dawkins will be here before nightfall tomorrow fully expecting this operation to be concluded and Capt. Cathcart in chains. I won't disappoint him. I cannot fail. Pass the word down the line. No more errors.
- Brendon Hamilton: This is my first foray with the major. I was recently assigned. Yes.
- Claire Cathcart: What do you suppose happened to the major's last aide?
- Brendon Hamilton: Ma'am. I'm under orders not to fraternize with you.
- Claire Cathcart: Of course. The major hates people who think for themselves.
- Lazarus (James Cathcart): Why are you helping me?
- Brendon Hamilton: I discovered I had a conscience.
- Lazarus (James Cathcart): You best be careful. In your business that can get you killed.
