Quotes
-
Jack : Indians killed us, rustled our cattle. I played possum while they done this to me.
[reveals his bloody head]
Cullen Bohannan : How many dead?
Jack : Five. Six if I die.
[pulls his scalp from a bucket]
Jack : Think they can sew my hair back on?
Cullen Bohannan : I think you ought'a stop talkin' and put your hat back on.
-
Declan : You must be Mr. Bohannan.
Cullen Bohannan : I am.
Declan : My brother considered you the only upright man he'd ever met in America.
-
Cullen Bohannan : You fight your war, I'll build my railroad, you crazy son of a bitch.
[starts walking away]
Doctor Major Augustus Bendix : Bohannan, do you want to know why you lost the war? The typical Southern lacks the ability to look beyond his own parochial interests. It's a malformed brain plate, perhaps.
-
Cullen Bohannan : Damn it. Ruth, it's my job!
Ruth : I understand that. But killing them should make you lose your appetite as well.
Cullen Bohannan : I don't take joy from it.
Ruth : A man who hates his sin can be redeemed from it, even if he can't turn away from it. Do you hate your sin, Mr. Bohannan?
Cullen Bohannan : [sits back down] Cornbread's dry.
Ruth : Then there is hope for you.

Cullen Bohannan : [to Major Bendix, holding an Indian's head] That woman put up much of a fight?
Doctor Major Augustus Bendix : I honestly can't recall.
Cullen Bohannan : That's marked up Arapaho. They'll come at us now. Pick off my outline crews, maybe full-on attack.
Doctor Major Augustus Bendix : And we'll reprise but this is why we'll prevail. Foreshortened cerebellum, deep sub-cranial ridge that runs all the way around. No foresight or intellect. Just the faintest hints of humanity.
Cullen Bohannan : Barely human, you mean
Doctor Major Augustus Bendix : Show me the savage Plato and I will read him.
