I just finished the film "Jeremiah Johnson" and I wanted to share some of the quotes I found memorable from this wonderfully made movie:
Jeremiah Johnson: Just where is it I could find bear, beaver, and other critters worth cash money when skinned?Robidoux: Ride due west as the sun sets. Turn left at the Rocky Mountains.
Letter found on the body of Hatchet Jack: "I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do leaveth my rifle to the next thing who finds it, Lord hope he be a white man. It is a good rifle, and kilt the bear that kilt me. Anyway, I am dead. Sincerley, Hatchet Jack."
Del Gue: Jeremiah, maybe you best go down to a town, get outta these mountains.Jeremiah Johnson: I've been to a town Del.
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: You've come far pilgrim.Jeremiah Johnson: Feels like far.Bear Claw Chris Lapp: Were it worth the trouble?Jeremiah Johnson: What trouble?
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: I am Bear Claw Chris Lapp; bloodkin to the grizzer that bit Jim Britcher's ass! YOU are molesting my hunt!
Bear Claw Chris Lapp: You're the same dumb pilgrim that I been hearin' for twenty days, and smellin' for three!
Del Gue:I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right.
