" Bring up my ambulance." " Sir?" "Bring up my ambulance and bring my surgeon with it!" "We got an officer who's worth something lying here." "The strangeness of this life cannot be measured." "In trying to produce my death, I was elevated to the status of living hero." "I was also awarded Cisco, the trusty mount that carried me across the field."

"In short, I have become a celebrity." "Loo ten tant." " Loo ten tant." " Loo ten tant." "Scouts picked up the trail exactly where I said it would be." "It was not hard to find." "A gigantic swath of torn-up ground extending to the horizon." "The sheer numbers it took to create this impossible image... ..was hard to imagine." "Loo ten tant." "Loo ten tant." "Who would do such a thing?" "The field was proof enough... ..that it was a people without value and without soul,... ..with no regard for Sioux rites." "The wagon tracks leading away left little doubt... ..and my heart sank as I knew it could only be white hunters." "Voices that had been joyous all morning were now as silent as the dead buffalo... ..left to rot in this valley,... ..killed only for their tongues and the price of their hides." "As they celebrated into the night the coming hunt,... ..it was hard to know where to be." "I don't know if they understood, but I could not sleep among them."

"Well, you can see he wants it now." "We all know that it's a soldier's hat." "We all know who wears it." "If you want to keep it, that's all right, but give something for it." "Washte." "Good... trade." "It seems every day ends with a miracle here." "And whatever God may be, I thank God for this day." "To stay any longer would have been useless." "We had all the meat we could possibly carry." "We had hunted for three days, losing half a dozen ponies,... ..and only three men injured." "I'd never known a people so eager to laugh,... ..so devoted to family, so dedicated to each other." "And the only word that came to mind was harmony." "Many times I've felt alone, but until this afternoon... ..I never felt completely lonely." "Though only two days, it seems like a week... ..and I am missing the company of my new friends."

"Bad wolf." "Bad wolf." "It is autumn now and I am spending more time than ever with my friends." "They have given me my own lodge and I feel comfortable there." "We talk every day, but I know Kicking Bird is frustrated with me." "He always wants to know how many more white people are coming." "I tell him they will most likely pass through this country and nothing more,... ..but I am speaking in half-truths." "One day there will be too many, but I cannot bring myself to tell them." "I'm sure that Stands With A Fist knows I am holding back,... ..but to her credit she says nothing." "A war party is going against the Pawnee soon and I have asked to go." "I sense that I made a mistake in doing so,... ..but I could not bring myself to take it back." "They are my friends and from what little I gather,... ..the Pawnee have been very hard on these people." "I hope I have not overstepped my bounds." "Come in, please." "Sit down?" "Kicking Bird wants to know... ..why you want to make war on the Pawnee." "They have done nothing to you." "They are Sioux enemies." "Lakota keywakte ni Ia pe sni caheun." "Only..." "Sioux warriors to go." "Tell him I have been a warrior longer than many of the young men who will go." "Tell him." "Teca eya ob ni kte ki Iena wanietu ota wicisanm lye akicita opa keye." "He say that the S-Sioux way of being a warrior... ..is not the white way." "You are not ready." "I know." "I understand, but tell him I cannot learn these ways in camp." "He also ask that you... watch over his family... ..while he is gone." "This thing he ask is a great honour... ..for you." "Tell him I would be happy to watch over his family." "He thanks Dances With Wolves for coming." "Who is Dances With Wolves?" "It is the name... ..which all the people are calling you now." "Dances With..." "That's right." "That day." "Dances With Wolves." "How do you say it?" "Sungmanitutonka Ob Waci." "Sungmanitutonka Ob..." " Ob" " Waci." " Washte." " Washte." "Sungmanitutonka..." "Keep on with the white man talk, if it pleases you." "I Iike to make the talk." "Oh, I..." "I cut this off today." " Oh." " I shaved it off." "Go on." "Uh, grass grows on the prairie." "Grass grows on the prairie." "Peta ki oblaye el ti." "Wrong." "You said "Fire lives on the prairie."" "I did?" "No, no laughing now." "How did you get your name?" "I was not very old... ..when I came to be with our people." "And I was made to work." "I worked every day very hard." "And there was a wo... one woman... ..who didn't like me much." "And she used to call me bad names... ..and sometimes she... ..amape..." "Um..." "Beat me?" "Uh, one day she was... ..calling me these bad names... ..with her face in my face and... ..I hit her." "I was not very big but she fell down." "She fell hard and didn't move." "And I stood over her with m-my fist... ..and I asked if there was any other woman... ..who wanted to call me bad names." "No-one bothered me after that day." "No, I..." "I wouldn't think so." "Show me." "Show me where you hit her." "Why are you not married?" " I'm sorry." " I have to go." "I'm sorry." " Can I help you?" " No." "Some of your words are wrong, but you are learning fast." "So what can you tell me today?" "I want to know about Stands With A Fist." "Why is there no man with her?" "She is in mourning." "I don't und..." "I do not understand "mourning"." "She cries for someone." "Cries for who?" "It is not polite to speak of the dead." "But you are new, so I will tell you." "She cries for her husband." "He was killed not long ago." "That is how you came to find her on the prairie." "How long will she cry?" "It is Kicking Bird's place to say when she is finished." "He's the one that found her when she was very little." "Washte yelo." "People are talking about you." "What are they saying?" "They are proud of the medicine... ..you are making with Dances With Wolves." "I have hurt him, and I should go talk to him." "You can't." "He is gone." "He left this morning." "I bet you were thinking "Now, why don't he write?"" "Hello, Two Socks." "Hmm?" "Hmm?" "Come on." "Come on." "Why don't you?" "Come on, you can do this." "You can do this." "Come on." "Easy." "This is easy." "This is easy, Two Socks." "I am in mourning." "No-one can know." " Yes." " We must be careful." " We must be careful." " OK." "Wait, wait, wait." "Wait, wait, wait." "What?" "Trouble." "The Pawnee are coming, a big party of 40 or 50 men." "The Cheyenne hunters found them not far to the north." "Stone Calf, wait, I will follow you." "The Pawnee do not come for horses, they come for blood." "Get your weapons and come to the lodge." " I will go." " I will get them." "Stone Calf, wait." "I have guns." "I have many rifles." "I have many rifles." " At the fort?" " Yes." "The ride is long, we can spare no men." "Guns would make one warrior like two." "Take one man and go quickly." "I will take smiles A Lot." "Come here." "Shoot the gun!" "It was hard to know how to feel." "I'd never been in a battle like this one." "There was no dark political objective." "This was not a fight for territory or riches or to make men free." "It had been fought to preserve the food stores that would see us through winter,... ..to protect the lives of women and children and loved ones a few feet away." "Stone Calf was a great loss,... ..but even the old men could not remember such a one- sided victory,... ..and I gradually began to think of it in a new way." "I felt a pride I'd never felt before." "I'd never really known who John Dunbar was." "Perhaps the name itself had no meaning." "But as I heard my Sioux name being called over and over,... ..I knew for the first time who I really was." "Where are you going?" "There is gambling tonight." "Horseback's games are always good." "Lela, lela, lela blugo welo." "I'm tired." "Horseback already has a good rifle of mine." "Good night." "How long will Stands With A Fist mourn?" "I don't know." "I hope it will not be long." "Has something happened?" "What?" "She has found love again." "With who?" " Who do you think?" " Tell me." "Dances With Wolves." "Dances With...?" "Are you certain of this?" "When you see them together, you will know." "What are people saying?" "They like the match." "No-one is angry?" "It makes sense." "They are both white." "I suppose I will be the one to say something." "She's your daughter now." "I know." "Relax." "You can't see everything coming." "Stop it." "Quit your playing." "Stands With A Fist." " Han." " You will mourn no more." "Turn around." "You look good." "You know, the man she mourned for,... ..he was my best friend." "I didn't know that." "He was a good man." "It has been hard for me to like you." "I am not the thinker Kicking Bird is." "I always feel anger first." "There were no answers to my questions." "But now I think he went away because you were coming." "That is how I see it." "This is a good day for me." "And for me." "If you want this man, take his hand in yours." "I had never been married before." "I don't know if all grooms have the same experience,... ..but as Kicking Bird began to speak... ..about what was expected of a Sioux husband,... ..my mind began to swim in a way that shut out everything but her." "The tiny details of her costume, the contours of her shape,... ..the light in her eyes,... ..the smallness of her feet." "I knew that the love between us... ..would be served." "Have you heard all that I have said?" "Yes." "Good, then take her inside." "She is your wife." "She is your wife." "Oh, good." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "It's good to be out." "Yes, it must be." "We are trying for a baby." "No waiting?" "No waiting." "I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life,... ..there is one that matters most." "It is the trail of a true human being." "I think you are on this trail,... ..and it is good to see." "We call you the Busy Bee." "You always ask about the white people." "You always want to know how many more are coming." "There will be a lot, my friend." "More than can be counted." "How many?" "Like the stars." "Wicahpi." "Wicahpi." "It makes me afraid for all the Sioux." "We should tell this to Ten Bears." "The men who wore this came in the time of my grandfather's grandfather." "Eventually, we drove them out." "Then the Mexicans came." "They do not come here any more." "the Texans." "They have been like all the others." "They take without asking." "I don't know if we are ready for these people." "But I think you are right." "I think they will keep coming." "When I think of that, I Iook at this helmet." "Our country is all that we have, and we will fight to keep it." "Tomorrow we will strike the village and go to the winter camp." "You have everything from the soldiers' fort?" "Yes." "There's nothing for me there." "That's good." "The journal." "Stands With, wait." " It is important!" " It isn't!" "No!" "The words are like a trail for people to follow." "It tells everything about my Iife here." "I must get it." "Enough." "We cannot wait for you." "OK." "I'II catch up." "I'II catch up." "Injuns!" "Injun!" "Get him!" "Fire!" "No!" "Stay down." "Stay." "He ain't hurt." "Oh, God." "Hey, boy." "It's OK." "Ah!" "Something has happened." "Dances With Wolves is not coming." "He must have trouble." "Pick two good men... ..and send them back to the soldier fort." "Spivey." "Spivey." "Yeah, Sergeant?" "Tell the Major he's waking up." "Move your worthless ass." "You got yourself a hell of a shiner." "Didn't you?" "Major's comin' through." "Well, does he speak English?" "I don't know, sir." "You speak English?" "You talk English?" "Talk!" "I speak english." "Who are you?" "Lieutenant John J Dunbar." "This is my post." "Why are you dressed like this?" "I came out from Fort Hayes last april but there was nobody here." "Do you have proof of that?" "My journal's on the bunk in my quarters." "My orders are in the journal." "It'II tell you everything." "Spivey, you and Edwards were the first ones here." "Did you find anything?" "A journal?" "Nah, we didn't find nothin', sir." "Where's Edwards?" "He's outside." "Hey, he didn't find nothin', either." "Find me Edwards." "You turned Injun, didn't ya?" "Didn't ya?" " Don't look white to me." " Say he's a soldier." " Soldier?" "He's an officer." " Officer?" "Do you salute or shoot him?" "You, eyes front." "I said, eyes front." "Oh!" "Don't shoot him!" "Hit him!" "Get him!" "Get off!" "Get off!" "Why are you out of uniform?" "What's the army doing out here?" "Lieutenant's askin' the questions." "Bauer." "We're charged with apprehending..." "We're charged with apprehending hostiles and recovering stolen property,... ..retrieving white captives taken in hostile raidings." " There are no hostiles." " We will ascertain that for ourselves." "Now, if you'II guide us to these camps and serve as an interpreter,... ..your conduct will be re-evaluated." "What conduct?" " With all due respect..." " Your status as a traitor... ..might improve should you choose to cooperate with the US army." "There's nothing for you to do out here." "Are you willing to cooperate, or not?" "Well, speak up!" "I am Dances With wolves." "What's that?" "Sungmanitutonika Ob Waci miye yelo." "I have nothing to say to you." "You are not worth talking to." "Sergeant, form a detail and take this man to the river." "Let him clean up his face." "Yes, sir." "Not you, Spivey." "Hey, Spivey." "Hey, Spivey, you got paper?" " What's it to ya?" " Well, give me some, shit bird." "Can you read?" "No, I can't." "What the hell's the difference?" "You can't read, either." "Now just give me some." " Gimme some!" " AII right, hold your horses." "Come on, help me." "Lap it up, Injun." "Go ahead, lap it up." " You son of a bitch, I'II kill ya." " Hey, hey, hey." "It's all right." "It's all right." "You're just gonna get hungrier, that's all, but maybe that don't matter." "Word is they're gonna ship you back to Hayes." "And once you get there, they're gonna hang ya." "Come on, forget about him." "Go, get out of here." "AII right." "Yee-ha!" "Yee-ha!" "Yee-ha!" "Get up in there." "Gee, ho." "Come on." "Yah!" "Get up in there, Toby!" "Toby!" "Yee-ha!" "Get up in there!" "Get up, get up!" "Yee-ha!" "Hey, Spivey, what is that?" "Looks like he's followin' us." "Hell, I'm gonna shoot him." "Ha, you missed him." " Don't shoot, goddamn it, it's my shot." " Hey, wait, I seen him first." "Look at that stupid bastard, he ain't even moving'." "Wait a minute, wait a minute, that's my shot." "Shoot him!" "Get him, Edwards, he's standin' there!" " He ain't hurt, is he?" " Shoot him!" "Jesus Christ!" "Holy shit!" "He's killin' him." "Bauer!" "He might've killed you." "God." "I'II get you, you son of a bitch." "You missed him!" "Sit down now, damn." "That's it." "I got him!" "I got him!" "Dead shot, boys." "Come on." " Son of a bitch." " Spivey!" "Get up!" " What are you doing, Edwards?" " Get up." "I'm gonna kill..." " Get up!" " Spivey, that's enough!" "Spivey!" "Come on, get up!" " Spivey!" " What?" "!" "Bash that prisoner one more time, I'II put those shackles on you." "You men, get back here!" "Now!" "Goddamn it!" "That goes for you, too, Bauer." "And I do not want to see that prisoner touched again!" "Get down here!" "Let's move it!" "Boo!" "Stay behind that stand of trees." "Hey." "All right, let's go." "I don't see nobody." "Ah!" "Indians!" "God!" "Bauer!" "Bauer!" "Bauer!" "Dances With Wolves is quiet these days." "Is his heart bad?" "Killing the soldiers at the river was a good thing." "I didn't mind killing those men." "I was glad to do it." "But the soldiers hate me now, like they hate no other." "They think I am a traitor." "And they will hunt for me." "And when they find me, they find you." "I think it wouId be wise to move the village now." "I will be leaving." "I must go and talk with those who would listen." "Quiet, you are hurting my ears." "Leave us alone." "You are the only white man I have ever known." "I have thought about you a Iot, more than you know." "But I think you are wrong." "The man the soldiers are looking for no longer exists." "Now there is only a Sioux, named Dances With Wolves." "Let's smoke awhile." "With Ten Bears it was always more than a while." "There was purpose in everything he did, and I knew he wanted me to stay." "But I was sure of myself." "I would be an excuse... ..and that's all the army would need to find this place." "I pushed him as far as I could to move the camp,... ..but in the end he only smiled and talked of simple pleasures." "He reminded me that at his age a good fire is better than anything." "Ten Bears was an extraordinary man." "You have nothing to say?" "What can I tell you?" "What's ever on your mind." "You've made the decision." "Hmm." "My place is with you." "I go where you go." "You're not afraid?" "No." "I told Ten Bears we'd leave when the snow breaks." "Did you tell everyone?" "Not everyone." "It's all right." "You, er, finish your pipe?" "Oh." "The pipe,... ..how, er, does it smoke?" "I've never smoked it." "We come far, you and me." "I will not forget you." "Dances With Wolves!" "I am Wind In His Hair!" "Do you see that I am your friend?" "Can you see that you will always be my friend?" "Dances With Wolves!" "Dances With Wolves!" "Dances With Wolves!" "Dances With Wolves!" "Dances With Wolves!" "AII right, men, over here now!"
