This fight drags on for so long that soon everyone loses interest except for Belle who stays in James' corner. By the time the fight has finished, it is implied that hours have passed, as the former settlers have had enough time to cook a picnic meal and have set an elaborate table, most of the former settlers, the Sioux braves, and the cavalry troopers have spent the time bonding and becoming close friends.

The Native Guide wonders why they make a circle, when a square would force the riders to keep their distance. Phil quickly appends his orders to "Square the wagons," with a tone that indicates he wishes he'd thought of it first.
