Quotes 

• [Bear awakes in the spirit world and sees a warrior on a horse coming towards him] 

  Spirit : Aho! Young warrior! Looks as though you've tasted the white man's lead.

  Bear Smallhill : It's only paintballs.

  Spirit : I've had many brothers and sisters meet the same fate in my time.

  Bear Smallhill : Are you Crazy Horse or Sitting...

  Spirit : [chuckles]  No, no, no, I'm not one of those awesome guys, no. I'm more of your, uh... I'm more of your unknown warrior. Yeah. You know my name? William Knifeman.

  [slaps his chest and lets out some war whoops] 

  Spirit : I was at the Battle of Little Bighorn. That's right.

  [beat] 

  Spirit : Uh, I didn't kill anybody. But I fought bravely. Well, I didn't actually fight, I actually didn't even get into the fight itself, but I came over that hill real rugged, like...

  [whoops again] 

  Spirit : Saw Custer like that. That yellowhair, he was sittin' there. Son of the morning star, that guy right there. Fuck, I really hated him. So I went after him. But then the damn horse hit a gopher hole, fucking rolled over and squashed me. I died there. This horse, actually. Little shit. And now I'm meant to travel the spirit world, find lost souls like you. The spirit world... it's cold. My nipples are always hard. I'm always hungry.

  Bear Smallhill : Got it.

  Spirit : Bein' a warrior... it's not always easy. You and your thuggy-ass friends... what are you doing for your people? It's easy to be bad. But it's hard to be a warrior with dignity. Remember that. In my time, we gave everything. We died for our people. We died for our land. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna fight for?

  [pause, then he whoops again and Bear jumps] 

  Spirit : [laughs]  Ah, I'm just fuckin' with ya. But for real, though... listen to what I said. Marinate on it. Aho.

  [to his horse] 

  Spirit : Let's go. Hyah!

  [the horse turns around but doesn't go anywhere; Knifeman looks back at Bear and laughs nervously, but then the horse just lies down] 

  Spirit : No!

  [beat] 

  Spirit : Fuck.
