[Yorke and Beaufort enter the dance after returning from their meeting with Cochise]
Captain Yorke:
Cochise has crossed the river, sir. He's coming in with all his people; wants to talk peace.
Lt. Col. Thursday:
He's returned to American soil?
Captain Yorke:
Yes, sir. Now with the Colonel's permission, I'd like to shake some of this Mexican 'dobe dust and get back to the dance.
Lt. Col. Thursday:
There'll be no time for that, Captain. The regiment moves out at dawn.
Captain Yorke:
The regiment? Cochise says he'll meet with you and me and Meacham. We'll take a small detail and go unarmed. I've arranged a rendezvous this side of the drygoons.
Lt. Col. Thursday:
[to RSM O'Rourke]
Sergeant-Major, you'll stop the dance. Pass the word to the first sergeants to prepare their troops to march at dawn. Troop commanders will oblige me by meeting at headquarters at once.
Captain Yorke:
Colonel, if you send out the regiment Cochise'll think I've tricked him!
Lt. Col. Thursday:
Exactly. We have tricked him. Tricked him into returning to American soil and I intend to see that he stays here.
Captain Yorke:
Colonel Thursday, I gave my word to Cochise. No man is gonna make a liar out of me, sir.
Lt. Col. Thursday:
Your word to a breech-clouted savage? An illiterate, uncivilized murderer and treaty-breaker? There's no question of honor, sir, between an American officer and Cochise.
Captain Yorke:
There is to me, sir!
Lt. Col. Thursday:
Captain Yorke, you may have commanded your own regiment in the late war; but so long as you command a troop in mine, you will obey my orders.
