- Al Jennings: There are many incidents left unrecorded. Some of which I am thinking of making in moving pictures for the beneficial effect it may have on young men. Among the first will be the story of the 'Lady of the Dugout.'
- The Englishman: Dugout! You mean of the trenches?
- Al Jennings: No, this dugot was a home dug in the soil of a western prairie.
- The Lady: You're wondering - aren't you? I had a better home than this - once. In Arkansas - my father was a wealthy planter. I know it is hard to believe - after this - But it's true. Father was a minister, too - and a very strict christian. I wonder if you know what I mean when I say 'very strict'?
- Frank Jennings: I think I know - Adam and Eve - Jonah and the whale - clear through, from soda to hock - and very word gospel.
- The Lady: Yes, but Father was not a hypocrite - he really believed. My husband was overseer on our place at that time, and although father valued him in that capacity, he - well - he forbade my meeting him on any terms of familiarity.
- The Lady: Do you have to go? Can't you forget what has gone before, and stay here? I know you love me - you haven't said so, but I know it, and - I want you to stay.
- Al Jennings: Kid, I knew your father - I saw him die. Son, you are young yet. This is an open, easy road you enter tonight but no one knows where or how you come out, and it's hell and high water all along the way. Now you climb on your horse and ride home.
- The Lady: I feel terribly embarrassed - I like to have you gentlemen here - but - with my husband's in town and may be talking - I - I am nervous.
- Frank Jennings: Well ma'am we don't want to fret you.
- Al Jennings: We met two newcomers that night, a young boy -- and an old timer called Zonie - a bad one - the worst killer in the Indian Territory, cold - coppery faced - deadly.
- Al Jennings: We had sowed the wind - the harvest was ripe and we reaped in a whirlwind of straining heart strings. In our lives there was much that was bad - some that was indifferent, and - maybe - a little that was good.
