  Nora Blaine : Eight months in the wild and I picked you for a traveling companion?

  Cole Fender : No cause for concern, Miss Blaine. I'm here to protect you.

• Wayne Santley : [to Cole]  How'd you get so good beatin' up women? You practice on kids and puppy dogs?

  Molly : Honey baby, I'm goin' with ya.

  Moose : Aw, Molly, woman don't trap and kill fur animals!

  Molly : Well, you do your trappin' and I'll just sit and watch for the grizzly. If he tries to bother my honey baby, I'll break his durn back!

• Wayne Santley : Brad, I guess it's been a long time since either one of us has been inside a church, but something we learned there as kids you oughta remember it right now.

• [last lines] 

  Wayne Santley : Brad sure would have gotten a boot out of this. He woulda brought a present for her.

  Nora Blaine : He already gave her the most important present she'll ever get - the future.

  Wayne Santley : One dies, one's born... I guess we're all our brother's keeper. If we could only remember it.
