Del Gue: Amongst lnjuns... a tribe's greatness is figured on how mighty its enemies be.
Jeremiah Johnson: Where you headed?
Del Gue: Same place you are, Jeremiah: hell, in the end.
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: Bear Claw is building a hot coal bed putting and covering them to sleep on, tells Jeremiah to do like wise. Middle of the night Jeremiahs blankets start smoking and jumps out of bed.
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: Bear Claw looks up from his bed and says" Didn't put enough dirt down, Saw it right off"
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: You know how to skin griz?
Jeremiah Johnson: I can skin most anything.
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: You sure are cocky, for a starvin' pilgrim.
Del Gue: Ain't that Hatchet Jack's rifle?
Jeremiah Johnson: Yep. Found him froze to a tree.
Del Gue: Damn! He was a wild one, old Hatchet Jack. He was livin' two year in a cave up on the Musselshell with a female panther. She never did get used to him.
Del Gue: Which way you headed, Jeremiah?
Jeremiah Johnson: Canada, maybe. I hear there is land there a man has never seen.
Del Gue: Well, keep your nose in the wind, and your eyes along the skyline.
Jeremiah Johnson: I will do that, Del Gue.
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: Watch your top knot.
Jeremiah Johnson: Yep, watch your'n.
Jeremiah Johnson: Ain't that hair I see on your head?
Del Gue: It sure is. I decided that when I depart from this life I'd like to leave something. At least to be remembered on some man's lodge pole.
Jeremiah Johnson: Sound wisdom.
