We need to stay right here till we find those murders, kill their sorry asses, cut the hair from their fuckin' scalps, take them and their horses back to the husbands and fathers of these people.
Shea
Margaret: Two women and a child alone on the only road in the most dangerous country in this nation. There's strength in numbers. We have no numbers. We go with them.
Elsa: I think it's a mistake.
Margaret: It's all a mistake, Elsa. The right choice is luck, that's all.
Margaret: You need to put on a dress.
Elsa: Why?
Margaret: Because if you ride into that army fort half nekkid, dressed like an Indian? Have you not learned enough about men on this trip?
Colton: By God, I knew it. I knew you was a girl.
Elsa: You were aware before. My mother worries about the soldiers seein' me dress like a cowboy.
Colton: [chuckles] You don't dress nothin' like a cowboy. I don't know what to call it, but I'll tell you this; it suits you better than that dress.
James: Those are Indian ponies. I say we ride right at these fuckers.
Shea: My God, you're anxious to get shot.
James: I'm anxious to get back to my family. It makes me anxious to shoot.
You ain't no deputy, you ain't no judge, you ain't no fuckin' jury. Them folks wasn't the thieves. You're the thief, and you're gonna die for it.
Thomas
Tell me your name! Do you remember it? I don't know the Lord's Prayer, but if there is a God, he will not keep you out of heaven for what I don't know. You deserve peace, and this ain't it. [kills the woman]
Colton
Thomas: What do we do?
Shea: Committin' suicide ain't gonna get anyone to Oregon. I still hope.
Thomas: I talk you outta committin' suicide every mornin'.
Indian: We made war on your people, but your daughter stopped it.
James: How'd she stop it?
Indian: By being the best warrior of them all.
James: You were a nurse in the war.
Margaret: So?
James: So how many liver shots you see survive?
Margaret: We got it out fast, James.
James: Let me see it. [looks at the arrow] That's filthy, honey.
Margaret: She's young. She's so strong.
James: And she's the light of my life. And she's my soul. But she's gonna die.
Margaret: [slaps him] How fucking dare you?! I will not lose a child!
James: She is gonna die, and it's gonna cut us in two, and if we don't accept it now, she'll die in some fort with some doctor, dopin' her up so badly she can't see straight, and we will have robbed her. She needs to see every sunrise and every sunset, and we will lie to her, and we tell her she's fine. And we will let her look at this world with those big dreamer eyes, 'cause they can't see anymore.
Margaret: Then what are we gonna do? She gonna be another cross on a trail that we don't visit. Ten years from now, it's just gone.
James: Our wagon drive's over. Where we bury her is where we stay. That is our home.
Margaret: Not here. Not in this place.
James: No, not in this place. I will find the place. By God, I will find a place.
