Wagon Train1957

Major Seth Adams:
A hundred wagons... that means that you've accepted responsibility for better than three hundred lives and you'd better not let 'em down, either.

Horace Best:
I'll do my best.

Major Seth Adams:
That's all any man can ask of you, but you know so many times the best is just not good enough. When you think of all the people, 75 or a 100 of 'em who are gonna die when the cholera hits your camp without you knowin' it's comin'... and that Indian war party that comes down off the high hills, their screams splinter the night and their arrows set fire to it... you say, "Well, I did my best." That's what you say to all those silent dead, "I did my best."
