• John Singing Rock : [praying over his medicine circle]  Gitche Manitou, hear me. Hear me and protect me.

  Harry Erskine : [as Karen Tandy opens her eyes]  John, look!

  John Singing Rock : Who are you? Where do you come from?

  Misquamacus : [speaking through Karen Tandy]  I am mightier than you. Your medicine is of no consequence.

  John Singing Rock : What is your name?

  Misquamacus : My name... Misquamacus. Leave the whites, little brother from the plains. Do not help them... or die.

  Harry Erskine : John, what's the matter? What... what is it?

  John Singing Rock : It's Misquamacus. The greatest medicine man of all. He turned rivers, made storms. Mountains rose at his command. No spirit ignored him. No demon denied him.

  Dr. Jack Hughes : My God!

  John Singing Rock : Your God won't help you. Nothing in your Christian world will help. Not prayers, not holy water. Not the weight of a thousand of your churches.

  Harry Erskine : What about that circle of sand?

  John Singing Rock : He's sure to break it. I only hope it holds him long enough for me to fight him.

  Harry Erskine : Oh, great. You're gonna play King of the Mountain with that Mixmaster! What about Karen?

  John Singing Rock : Harry... if I win, she lives. If I lose, believe me... she'll feel less pain than any of us.

• Dr. Jack Hughes : Don't be an administrator!
