Young Isabel Two: You're going to marry Samuel. Susannah: That's right. Young Isabel Two: I'm going to marry Tristan. Susannah: Then we'll be sisters.
Tristan: Alfred's going to do well wherever he is. Colonel Ludlow: Except here with us. Tristan: That's my fault. Colonel Ludlow: I didn't say that. Tristan: I couldn't bring Samuel back home alive either, could I? Colonel Ludlow: Don't you dare say ...
[Alfred's letter to Tristan] Alfred: You have won her. I am bringing her home.
Alfred: Don't mind my brother. Your dog has more breeding than he has.
Alfred: When are you planning to be married? Tristan: Morning. Alfred: Damn you, Tristan. You will marry her. Tristan: And make a honest woman out of her? Alfred: Yes! God damn you to hell. Tristan: Yes, I will marry her if she'll have me. Alfred: If...
Alfred: You don't have to be a genius to figure out they going to come after you for this. Tristan: Yeah. Alfred? Alfred: Yeah? Tristan: I want to ask you to watch over my children. Watch over Samuel. Alfred: Brother, it will be an honor.

Colonel Ludlow: Screw'm! Screw'm all! Screw the gov'm'nt!
Tristan: Miss Finncannon. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you and Ugly here find every happiness together.
Colonel Ludlow: There will be no more talk of wars in this house, DAMN IT!
Young Isabel Two: Tristan calls me a half breed. Colonel Ludlow: Tristan calls you a half breed! Young Isabel Two: He says I'm half gopher and half hawk.
Samuel: Tristan! Get back to your unit! Tristan: Those boys are boring. I'd rather have you watching my back.
