The only reason I'm not killing you right now is because I need a ride to Nairobi in the morning.

Jack: Think any of 'em made it?
Jacob: Depends on the loyalty of their horse. Give a man enough time, he can figure his way out of anything. I figure a few will make it. I hope a few do.
Jack: Why?
Jacob: Someday, you're gonna run this place, and for your son to someday run it, too, you gotta understand what your ranch's greatest enemy is. It's not wolves or drought or blizzards or Texas fever. It's other men. Men will choose to take what you built rather than try to build it for himself. Every civilization in this world built on top of the one they conquered. You go to Rome or Jerusalem or Paris, France, and it's cities stacked on top of towns, stacked on top of villages, stacked on top of one man's house built on top of one man's cave. You wish it wasn't so, but it is. Your enemy's got to be so terrified that their fear is greater than their greed. I gave those men a chance cause I wanted them to tell the world what happened when they crossed me.

You batter my face with no provocation but sit idly by as Sister Alice runs her filthy hands across you. Perhaps I shouldn't have interrupted.

You think I'm your adversary, but I'm not. I'm your salvation, Teonna. I am the bridge from the extinct civilization of your people to the thriving society tasked with taming this Godless place. I offer all the skills required for a young woman to thrive as mother and wife -- how to farm, how to cook, how to clean, how to read, arithemetic, science, most important of all, scripture. I offer all the skills you need to live a bountiful life, and you refused them, attacked me for teachin' them. Look at me, girl. I've sworn to kill the Indian in you, and I'm gonna keep my word. [she beat her] If you ever lay a hand on me again, I'll kill the rest of ya.

I have been placed on a train with a destination not of my choosing, and I have no means of stopping it.
