Quotes |
Jacob Wheeler:
[Margaret Light Shines and Ethan Biggs look around the place of a mountain man that could be Margaret's father]
Don't you move. I'll blast your guts down your backside. Ethan Biggs: I'm not a thief. Jacob Wheeler: Shut up! You don't look like a thief. You don't know the woods. You announced yourself a mile away. Ethan Biggs: We're looking for someone. Margaret Light Shines: We're looking for Jacob Wheeler. [Shows him her wheel necklace] Jacob Wheeler: [In Lakota] Light Shines? [nods and responds in Lakota] Jacob Wheeler: Margaret, is that you? Margaret Light Shines: Daddy? Jacob Wheeler: [Thrusts his rifle at Ethan Biggs] Hold that, young man. [Embraces Margaret Light Shines] Margaret Light Shines: [crying] Daddy! See more » |
