"Halt!" "Soldier... up there." "Patrol, dismount." "Maybe you should get him a wagon." "Because that boy is from the East." "I hope he's better with a gun than he's on horseback." "The first time he saw a rifle he picked it up by the barrel." "That's the spirit!" "You wanted to get the scalp of an Indian." "Knock it off, Palmer." "Leave the boy alone." "Be a wise guy at somebody else's expense." "Right?" "Well, shit!" "When we're chasing Indians I wanna know who we can count on..." "We're soldiers, not children..." "And I must count on someone like him?" "Pat!" "Palmer!" "That's enough!" " Well?" " I found the spot of their camp." " How many are there?" " Twenty, I reckon." " Weapons?" " I don't know they were too far away." "All right men, you heard the good news..." "We'll meet them face to face." "Mount up!" "Don't ever forget these Apaches are on a war path, don't take no prisoners..." "They've massacred all the whites who wanted just a little land where they wanted to live upon in peace." "We forgive them for that but now they escaped from the government's reservation..." "So that they could become civilized, like us." "Wether men, women or childeren, you must kill them all!" "Indian lovers say that they die of hunger on a Reservation..." "Bulls they are not there." "That's not true." "The truth is that these are some wild assassins." "Soldiers, we have to drive them back to their reservations..." "And no matter..." "if they're dead or alive." "Sergeant, do retreat now, other Indians are coming." "Let's go!" "I don't want to hurt you." "It's alright, stay calm and I leave you alone." "Sergeant!" "Good job, soldier." "I heard the gunshots." " You killed them alone, kid?" " No, I was with my patrol." "Oh?" "Well say you used past tense." "The Sixth cavalry from Fort Colville... were ordered to lead the Indians back to the reservation." "Yeah, sure... as it ought to." " Hey!" " What's the matter, soldier?" "Do you want to die?" "All I did was killing an Indian." "You stole something?" " Nothing, nothing..." " What do you mean, nothing?" "I saw your hand in his pocket." "Because we have to inform the family of the deceased... right?" "They want everything to do all the paperwork on him." "Oh yes, sure." "Maybe you should... bury him..." "So that the coyotes don't eat him." "Bury them together over there." "Down there the ground is softer." "I'll get a shovel." "Shut up!" "My gun..." "Oh no..." "Hey... it's Jeremy!" "Ah, Keith..." "Man, you made me scared..." "I believed you were an Indian." "And I was waiting for something bad coming on." "And you're just a thief, Jeremy." "Hi, Frankie." " Calm down." " This bastard wants to make fun out of me." "That's not true!" "That's not true!" "Keith, we're friends, right?" "We've been through so much together." "We are brothers..." "We are brothers, aren't we?" "As long as it serves you, we are brothers but then suddenly no more." "I wouldn't steal from my brother." "I have never done that." "Don't you remember the time I did buy the land from you?" "I've bought it from you for the price you have stated." "Okay, okay..." "but who is this Indian then?" "What is she doing here with you?" "What is she worth?" "And don't tell me the usual stories." "Stories?" "No, no, no..." "She is the daughter of a chief." "And now she is mine." "If we meet Indians, we have her as hostage." "You can't understand that, hmm?" "I could hardly believe it, if someone told me something like this." "Now..." "Now, come on." "I have something nice for you." "Something really extraordinary." "Come on." "Is it a great treasure?" "You guessed it almost, Keith." "Almost right..." "I knew it." "You would even sell your own mother." "No, now you're excagerating but..." "Now..." "I'm sorry to leave!" "That means: untill next time!" "No then Jeremy Keith is still angry." "And how do you get your Indian in the wagon now?" "Who'll shoot first now, hmm?" "I was only kidding." "Just kidding, friends..." "Just a joke between brothers." "The truth is that the old Jeremy... felt lonely." "I needed a woman." "And so I bought her." " I swear..." " No!" " I'll kill you!" "No, no!" "Let him go!" "Calm down... don't freak out." "That won't help none of us." "We're friends." "Don't take it so hard." "I'm easy already!" "Who knows... who knows if they will hunt after us here." "I always wanted to shake off pursuers once." "Even now I still like to set mole traps" "For us everything was always full of moles." "Everywhere were moles." "Sorry..." "Because you're born in this area, you can't imagine how it looks like in New York." "The people who live there..." "All the hustle and bustle, the houses..." "It wasn't bad in New York..." "But what should I have expected?" "We were with so many brothers and sisters..." "* Practice dsassg ******." "And they all said to me:" ""Search your happiness in the West."" ""Go West."" "My happiness..." "Yes, yes..." "I've seen it..." "I have seen the soldiers." "Just two days ago." " Where are they gone?" " Since long, to the north." "These stupid bum bastards..." "But not with Snake..." "Snake works alone." "Besides the work nothing interests him." "How many soldiers were there?" "Just a few." "They were on the hunt..." "These soldiers." "Bad people, these Indians..." "Bastards." "They will hunt them down, until none of them lives." "Bastards... always the same with them." "Also in Colorado they are everywhere." "No matter where you go, you'll meet one of them." "We shoot and shoot, but they kill us one after the other." "Then they separate you from your group and take your scalp." "But not with Snake..." "Snake is clever." "Clever... clever... clever." "I must return to my people." " Can you take care of her a while?" " Yes, just go." "But I don't know which direction I have to go." "It's obvious... to the north, like the other soldiers." "You'll need two or three hours..." "But be careful..." "Be careful about the Indians, they will kill you." "Bastard..." "Bastard!" "Bastard... do you understand?" "You know what the only thing an Indian does?" "Killing!" "That and that and that..." "That is the only Indians do." "Don't ask me why I did not killed them." " Well,do ask me..." " Why do you want to kill them?" "Because..." "Because I..." "had a mistress," "Bahella... she was so adorable." "But she died two weeks ago." "And now I only have my horse." "But a horse, no!" "It takes but a little company, right?" "I'm not going to kill you." "But if you want your gun..." "I have to kill them." "These bastards have been hunting us along up till here." "For two days I'm hiding." "They have killed my horse." "They have started a massacre." "They didn't stop killing people." "These are wild... wild killers." "In San Cristobal we have killed women and children." "This may be true." "But we are civilized." "God is with us." "First, we have to try now to get away from here." "Take care of your shit, Fred." "I can't stand this Indian no longer." "They hate us all." "The Indians fled from their reservation." "But there were only two or three families." "They are just trying to survive." "It's possible..." "But they may not leave the reservation under any circumstances." "Don't worry... somebody surely has shot them down." "Even the women and children" "Beautiful, beautiful..." "but I thought to myself:" "Because did I go all the way with them, I can not abandon them." "That's why I took the wife and the son and went away immediately." "I can imagine, where the refugees will reunite." "To put it bluntly:" "Fort Cob." "I would be happy when you fight with us, my son." "Even if you only travel in your head..." "Two guns are always better than one." "I also need to reach Fort Cob." "I've heard that the military has just assembled a posse, to hunt down the refugees from the reservation." "They promised 5 silver dollar for every dead Indian." "In the worst case we lose five dollars." " But I already lost it." " What have you lost?" " Aren't we brothers any more?" " Brothers... but I have lost 30 dollars." "All because of you."
