[the regiment is getting ready to attack - Col. Thursday scans the horizon with his binoculars] Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
I don't see them. Not a one. Captain Yorke:
Well, they're down there, sir... among the rocks. Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
Have you seen 'em, Captain? Captain Yorke:
I don't have to - I know. Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
How? Captain Yorke:

And that dust cloud beyond? Captain Yorke:
It's an Apache trick. Probably squaws and children draggin' mesquite. Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:

Very ingenious, Captain. You make me suspect your Cochise has studied under Alexander the Great, or Bonaparte at the least. Gentlemen, march your troops. We'll charge in a column of fours. Captain Yorke:
Mounted in fours? That's suicide, Colonel! I tell you they're down there... Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
Captain Yorke, you're relieved of command of your troop. There's no room in this regiment for a coward. Captain Yorke:
[angrily throws down his glove in front of Col. Thursday]
At your service, sir! Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
Bugler, pick up Captain Yorke's gauntlet. I'm no duellist, Captain. I will decide whether I will answer you with pistols or a general court martial. You will remain on the ridge... in safety... with the supply train. Take O'Rourke with you
