Recap

The stagecoach bound for San Francisco stops off at Sweetwater carrying two passengers: Captain Falcons and Eloise Mayhew. They’re disgusted with the relatively loose morals of Sweetwater, and are shocked when Bret kisses his current flame, Irish Annie, goodbye as she gets onto the stage. As the stagecoach leave, Mary Lou posts a new paper warning that Apache renegade Cinto Morado has fled the reservation and vows to die rather than be captured...

Episode Quotes
Irish Annie: Another week and I might never leave.
Bret: Ah, well, another week and, uh, I might not even let you.

Elijah: Never thought I'd see Maverick looking like that.
Cy: I can't get him to come home.
Tom: I can't even get him to talk.

Philo Sandeen: I am an Indian trapped in a white man's body.
Bret: You're also about three feet short of a yard.

Philo Sandeen: For right now, let's just say that I'm the bridge between the red man and the white man.
Bret: I'm glad I can swim.

Cinto Morado: They call you Standing Bear?
Philo Sandeen: A name given me by the Sioux.
Cinto Morado: A large name for a small weasel.

Bret: "Hoka hey," that's Sioux for "it's a good day to die," and Sandeen is speaking strictly for himself.

Rodney: What's it made of?
Philo Sandeen: First you cook the sap out of a jimson weed root. Then you dice in your peyote buttons, the sacred mushrooms, and your Nogales hemp buds. Then you lace with a quart of mescal and let simmer over a low flame for about... half an hour.
Rodney: What'll it do to him?
Philo Sandeen: You ever ridden bareback on a red-eyed cougar through midnight?
Rodney: I can't say I have.
Philo Sandeen: It's quite a journey. And there are no hitching rails on the moon, so it wouldn't do well to confuse the bone.
