They wait... They hunt... They feed. (taglines)

John Clay

 * If you so much as touch that gun without my say-so, I will holster it in your ass.

William Parcher

 * Any Christian woman would prefer dying to capture. Mr. Williams had time to reload...because his wife gave it to him. If it came to that... I hope you'd be strong enough to take care of your mother.
 * Henry Victor would rather pull toes off the Sioux than follow the trail before us.
 * We find the Utes; they lead us to the Burrower tribe; we kill the Burrowers; you get your girl; you build a cabin on the prairie and you play American.

Henry Victor

 * You wanna go face an Indian war party on your lonesome? Those blanketheads will peel you like an orange, boy.
 * Yeah, well, I'd rather walk in the right direction than ride with my head up my ass.

Dialogue

 * William Parcher: Not a mile from here... I had to eat a horse to survive.
 * Gertrude Spacks: That's disgusting.
 * William Parcher: It wasn't my horse. The point is, we're here now eating coconut cake. Right civilized country.


 * William Parcher: What is that?
 * Henry Victor: Hmm?
 * William Parcher: What the hell is that?
 * Henry Victor: It's a tobacco pouch.
 * William Parcher: It's ugly as shit.
 * Henry Victor: Yeah. Come off an Injun. Big buck by the name o' Sack-o-Tabacky.
 * William Parcher: Jesus Christ.
 * Dobie Spacks: W-What is it?
 * Henry Victor: Shit, son.
 * William Parcher: It's a scrotum, Dobie.


 * John Clay: Why do you spend so much time rubbin' that boy's belly? He already thinks you're Jesus Crockett.
 * William Parcher: I'm courtin' his mother.
 * John Clay: That's Gertrude Spacks' boy?
 * William Parcher: Yeah, oh. Oh.
 * John Clay: Skinny woman. Might as well just poke the boy.
 * William Parcher: That's not a very godly sentiment, John.


 * Fergus Coffey: I came close to joining the army after New York. Impossible to get work there. No one will hire the Irish on account of us being a bunch of thieves and beggars.
 * Walnut Callaghan: Sounds familiar.


 * Ten Bear: [speaking in Indian language] Where do we find the Burrowers?
 * Dull Knife: [speaking in Indian language] They'll find you. Even if you do taste like white man, now.


 * Faith: [speaking in Indian language] They bury their food. Let it rot. The poisoned cannot sleep.
 * William Parcher: They... they use some kind of poison. Bury their victims alive.
 * Faith: When the blood is thick and the organs are soft, they return and eat. They drink.
