Year 1979
[first lines]
Pike: [narration] Long before the myths began, it was primitive... unforgiving - but in that vast, limitless space, man had one ally... the horse.
Pike: Henry? Henry, answer me! Are you spooked or somethin'?
Henry: I've been spooked ever since I left my mother's tit. That's what keeps me from dying.
Pike: Maybe your heathen friend got sick or somethin'.
Henry: That wouldn't stop him riding.
Pike: Killed then.
Henry: He rides a god-damned horse like an eagle's wing! No ordinary man's gonna stop him.
Pike: Any sign of him?
Henry: Not a fart in the wind.
Pike: I thought you traded regular with the Comanche.
Henry: Yeah, and I walk in rattlesnake country, too. I'm just careful how I do it.
Pike: I just want to be my own man in my own way. You can't be your own man when you're polishing someone else's boots.
[last lines]
[Pike finds White Bull in his camp with Judith, his bound captive]
Judith: Please... help me!
[White Bull rides out of camp on his majestic white horse. Pike, ignoring Judith's plight, takes off in pursuit, but the Indian escapes]
Pike: Help me... Please, help me.
Henry: If you're interested in fighting, you might as well have stayed in the cavalry. Are you interested? I'm offering you my hand, not my fist!
Judith: I know more Spanish than they do English!
Priest: Which is not the point, dear sister. Remember, I owe much to my generous patron and you owe much to me.
