- Nils Narvik: Got it straight from Indian Joe. The treaty was almost concluded when he left the fort. Fitzwilliams'll bring it in, you can bet on that.
- Pete Dexter: Maybe he got caught in that last storm. Maybe he's dead on the trail somewhere.
- Nils Narvik: You better hope so. Those trapping grounds are the best you and Ben ever had. Indians take 'em over, you're finished, Dexter!
- Pete Dexter: You too, Narvik! You'll never get rich off of what these boys around here bring in.
