[Caleb is crying] Stop that, boy! — Jeremiah Johnson

"[to Jeremiah after slipping fresh scalps onto his pack horse in face of approaching Indians] I didnt know they was gonna be Flatheads."

"He may be a Christian and speak of the bible, but he still an Indian, and his rules is his rules. If you value your hair, you will get married!"

"[to Jeremiah amidst his ongoing fight with the Crows] I cannot brag on your choice of campsites."

"[to Jeremiah at his wedding] You can take her to Fort Hauley and sell her, but you best take her my friend. Maybe she aint near bad."

"[to Jeremiah at first meeting, when Del was buried up to his neck in sand] No ones passed in front of me, cant say whats happened behind me."

"[Jeremiah and Caleb see a bird flying across the sky] Hawk. Goin for the Musselshell. Take me a weeks ridin, and hell be there in... hell, hes there already."
