Episode Quotes
 
Daggett: I'm not worried about myself. I just wouldn't want anything to happen to our prisoner.
Bret: I'm not your prisoner, Willie. You're just escorting me.
 
Bret: On second thought, Sergeant, I decided to put off facing that board of inquiry.
 
Baines: Don't you worry, Willie. There's nothin' in this world I'd do to keep you in this Army one day longer than need be.
 
Baines: Why don't you stick around, Mr. Maverick, and be my prisoner?
 
Daggett: Hey, what happened? Who shot the Indians?
Bret: Ghosts, Corporal. Ghosts and evil spirits.
 
Bret: This whitewash is hard on my delicate complexion.
 
Bret: Whadda you think?
Baines: I think one of then Indians caught himself a ghost. Now Halloween's almost over, Maverick.
 
Bret: (to Baines) Another day, another dollar.
 
Baines: (about Lt. Jennings) He's kinda young.
Bret: Yeah.
 
Bret: (about Lt. Jennings) He doesn't understand English.
Baines: He's an Army officer.
 
Bret: (to Lt. Jennings) I don't have to threaten you, sonny. Those hills are full of Indians. They're threatening you and me and everybody else in this fort.
 
Running Horse: Let us now make sport with these men who pretend to be ghosts.
 
Bret: I was glad that the lieutenant was gonna let it go at a mere handshake. I mean, if I was gonna get a medal out of this entire ruckus, my pappy would never speak to me again.
