Anson Mount: Cullen Bohannon

Quotes 

• The Swede : Just as I expected. It is ordained from on high that you should put suffering in my path.

  Cullen Bohannan : Mmm. Best get to shoveling, then.

  [pushes past him] 

  The Swede : I was right to put down in that well, just as now it is right that you set me to shoveling snow far away - in the wilderness, where my brethren freeze and starve.

  Cullen Bohannan : We pay enough to keep them fed.

  The Swede : It is what I have said. That to be tested by you is the making of my soul. You are God's instrument.

• Mei : I belong to them. That's why I hide.

  Cullen Bohannan : This is America, ain't nobody belongs to nobody. We fought a war over it.

  Mei : But we still Chinese.

• [last lines] 

  Cullen Bohannan : There won't be a trial. That'd be a waste of time. And they wouldn't be convicted, 'cause the only witnesses is you and Tao. And Chinamen ain't allowed to testify against white men under California law.

  Chang : So this is America.

  [abacus beads clacking] 

  Chang : It may be the law, Mr. Bohannon, but it is not justice.

  Cullen Bohannan : No, it ain't. Them men will leave Truckee, and you're gonna let 'em. Do we understand each another?

  Chang : I think we understand each other very well.
