Timothy Treadwell: I'm out in the prime cut of big green. Behind me is Ed and Rowdy, members of an up-and-coming sub-adult gang. They're challenging everything, including me. Goes with the territory. If I show weakness, if I retreat, I may be hurt, I may be killed. I must hold my own if I'm gonna stay within this land. For once there is weakness they will exploit it, they will take me out, they will decapitate me, they will chop me into bits and pieces. I'm dead. But so far, I persevere. Persevere.

Trivia
According to an extra on the DVD about the recording session with Richard Thompson and his fellow musicians, in which Werner Herzog explains a lot about his vision on the taped material, the musicians had to improvise. For instance, underneath the slow fight of two bears you hear the cello and the upright bass menacing, and when Timothy swims with a bear, Herzog explain that this is no harmony as it looks like, but an ultimate dangerous situation.
