Lone Watie Guess we ain't going to see that little Navajo girl again.

Josey Wales Nah, I guess not. I kinda liked her. But then, it's always like that.

Lone Watie Like what?

Josey Wales Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long.

Lone Watie I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither.

Josey Wales Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.

Ten Bears These things you say we will have, we already have.

Josey Wales That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.

Ten Bears It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.

Senator The war's over. Our side won the war. Now we must busy ourselves winning the peace. And Fletcher, there's an old saying: To the victors belong the spoils.

Fletcher There's another old saying, Senator: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

Lone Watie [realizes Josey has snuck up behind and pulled a gun on him] They said a man could get rich on reward money if he could kill you.

Josey Wales Seems like you was looking to gain some money here.

Lone Watie Actually, I was looking to gain an edge. I thought you might be someone who would sneak up behind me with a gun.

Josey Wales Where'd you ever get an idea like that? Besides it ain't supposed to be easy to sneak up behind an Indian

Lone Watie I'm an Indian, all right; but here in the nation they call us the "civilized tribe." They call us "civilized" because we're easy to sneak up on. White men have been sneaking up on us for years.

[Fletcher knows he's talking to Josey Wales]

Fletcher I think I'll go down to Mexico to try to find him.

Josey Wales And then?

Fletcher He's got the first move. I owe him that. I think I'll try to tell him the war is over. What do you say, Mr. Wilson?

Josey Wales I reckon so. I guess we all died a little in that damn war.

Carpetbagger Your young friend could use some help.

[holds up a bottle of patent medicine]

Carpetbagger This is it... one dollar a bottle. It works wonders on wounds.

Josey Wales Works wonders on just about everything, eh?

Carpetbagger It can do most anything.

Josey Wales [spits tobacco juice on the carpetbagger's coat] How is it with stains?

Josie Wales You be Ten Bears?

Ten Bears I AM Ten Bears.

Josie Wales I'm Josey Wales.

Ten Bears I have heard. You are the Gray Rider. You would not make peace with the Bluecoats. You may go in peace.

Josie Wales I reckon not. I got no place else to go.

Ten Bears Then you will die.

Josie Wales I came here to die with you. Or to live with you. Dying ain't so hard for men like you and me. It's living that's hard when all you've ever cared about has been butchered or raped. Governments don't live together - people live together. With governments, you don't always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well, I've come here to give you either one or get either one from you. I came here like this so you'll know my word of death is true, and my word of life is then true. The bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche. And so will we. Now we'll only hunt what we need to live on, same as the Comanche does. And every spring, when the grass turns green, and the Comanche moves north, you can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle, and jerk beef for the journey. The sign of the Comanche, that will be on our lodge. That's my word of life.

Ten Bears And your word of death?

Josie Wales It's here in my pistols and there in your rifles. I'm here for either one.

Ten Bears These things you say we will have, we already have.

Josie Wales That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.

Ten Bears It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life.

[draws his knife, and cuts his hand; Josie does likewise. The two shake hands, their blood mingling in brotherhood]

Ten Bears So will it be.

Josie Wales I reckon so.

Lone Watie We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.

Lone Watie [Josey has walked up on Lone and Moonlight having sex] Howdy.

Josey Wales Howdy.

Lone Watie Somethin' wrong?

Josey Wales Uh, no.

Lone Watie I guess you were right.

[smiles]

Lone Watie I ain't that old after all.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Lone Watie How did you know which one was goin' to shoot first?

Josie Wales Well, that one in the center, he had a flap holster and he was in no itchin' hurry. And the one second from the left, he had scared eyes; he wasn't gonna do nothin'. But that one on the far left, he had crazy eyes. Figured him to make the first move.

Lone Watie How 'bout the one on the right?

Josie Wales Never paid him no mind; you were there.

Lone Watie I could have missed.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Josey Wales You have any food here?

Lone Watie All I have is a piece of hard rock candy. But it's not for eatin'. It's just for lookin' through.

[Josey and Lone Watie are relaxing after Moonlight has cooked for them]

Lone Watie That meal was damn good. I'm gonna take up teepee livin' if it's like this. You know she thinks I'm some kind of a Cherokee chief.

Josey Wales I wonder where she ever got that idea.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Lone Watie I'm gettin' better at sneaking up on you like this. Only an Indian can do something like this.

Josey Wales That's what I figured.

Lone Watie You figured?

Josey Wales Only an Indian could do something like that.

[Lone Watie hears a gun cock behind him; turns and sees Moonlight]

Lone Watie It's not right, this damn woman doing something like this to me. I used to have power. Now old age is creeping up on me.

Josey Wales More like old habits than old age.

[putting his dead friend on a horse and sending him into the enemy camp]

Josey Wales This boy was brought up in a time of blood and dying and never questioned a bit of it. He never turned his back on his folks or his kind. I rode with him... and I got no complaints. The blue bellies will give ya a better burial than I can, boy.

Josey Wales [throughout movie] I reckon so.

Granny Hawkins So you'll be Josey Wales.

Josey Wales Now how might you know that, Granny?

Granny Hawkins Soldiers were here looking for you 'bout two hours ago.

[Josey looks at Carstairs]

Sim Carstairs Uh, I was goin' to mention that to you... as soon as I got the chance.

Granny Hawkins They say you killed your own men.

Jamie Those lying, blue-scum bellies...

Granny Hawkins They say you're a hard put and desperate man, Josey Wales. They're goin' to heel and hide you to a barn door. You know what I say?

Josey Wales What's that?

Granny Hawkins I say that big talk's worth doodly-squat. Now them poultices be laced with feathermoss and mustard root. Mind you drop water on 'em occasional and keep 'em damp.

[Walks off]

Granny Hawkins You can pay me when you see me again, Josey Wales.

Josey Wales I reckon so.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Fletcher Damn you, Senator. You promised me those men would be decently treated.

Senator Lane They were decently treated. They were decently fed and then they were decently shot. Those men are common outlaws, nothing more.

Lone Watie Get ready, little lady.

Grandma Sarah What?

Jamie [Josey and Jamie are waiting for the Redlegs to cross the river] They comin'.

[Josey pulls a Sharp's rifle with a early telescopic sight on it from his horse]

Carpetbagger Do you really think you can shoot all those men down before they shoot you? No, no, Mr. Josey Wales; there is such a thing in this country called justice!

Josey Wales Well, Mr. Carpetbagger. We got somethin' in this territory called the Missouri boat ride.

[shoots the rope hauling the ferry across the river]

🥱

Josey Wales [referring to Lone's dog] Chief, I was just wondering: I suppose that mangy red-bone hound's got no place else to go either.

[spits tobacco juice on the dog's forehead]

Josey Wales He might as well ride along with us; Hell, everybody else is.

🧡

Grandma Sarah This can't be Santa Rio! My son, Tom Turner, said it was a thriving town!

Kelly It was, but when the silver run out, the thrivin' run out with it.

🧡

🥺

🤔

🥱

[Grandma Sarah notices that Lone Watie has painted his face]

Grandma Sarah What's all that paint about?

Lone Watie It's my death face.

Grandma Sarah You know, we're sure gonna show them redskins somethin' tomorrow. No offense meant.

Lone Watie None taken.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Fletcher [Fletcher notices Terrell standing with Lane] What the hell is this Redleg doin' here? You said regular Federal authorities would be handling this!

Senator Lane Captain Terrell is the regular Federal authority now.

Fletcher Captain Terrell is a bloodthirsty sonofabitch! He's a looter and a pillager! He's the worst enemy those men have got!

🧡

Jamie You can't get 'em all, Josey.

Josey Wales That's a fact.

Jamie How come you're doing this then?

Josey Wales Because I ain't got nothin' better to do.

"Bloody Bill" Anderson Name's Anderson. Bloody Bill's what they call me.

"Bloody Bill" Anderson Red Legs? You'll find them up in Kansas. They're with the Union. And we're goin' up there and set things aright.

Josey Wales I'll be comin' with you.

[the Comanchero leader has stopped his men from raping Laura Lee]

Comanchero Leader You damn fools! Ten Bears gonna want him a fresh woman. Fresh, that little gal will bring ten, maybe twelve horses. Now, if one of you has to, you can take that old woman over there. She might be worth one donkey.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Kelly [Josey has walked into the saloon in Santa Rio] What'll you have?

Josey Wales Whiskey.

Rose [laughing] Maybe you'd like somethin' else.

Josey Wales Beer?

Kelly Been a long time since somebody ordered a drink in San Rio.

Ten Spot Been a long time since we had anythin' to drink.

Kelly Yep, first the silver run out, then the people run out, then the whiskey run out, then the beer run out. Don't matter; it's good to see a high roller come through.

[Josey walks out]

Kelly What's the matter with him?

Rose I guess some folks don't like to be called 'high rollers.' I knew a man once; he didn't like to be called 'high handed.'

Jamie [after Jamie and Josey kill Abe and Lige] I figured you could use some help.

Josey Wales You get those holes a-leakin', I'm gonna whomp you with a knotted plow line.

Grandma Sarah This Mr. Wales is a cold-blooded killer. He's from Missouri where they're all known to be killers of innocent men, women, and children.

Lone Watie Would you rather be riding with Comancheros, Granny?

Grandma Sarah No, I wouldn't.

Sim Carstairs Ten years I been ferryin' Kansas Redlegs, Union cavalry, Missouri guerillas... you name it. Mad dogs, them guerillas. You look sideways at 'em...

[snaps a rope like a noose]

Sim Carstairs they kill ya.

Carpetbagger Sound like hard men to do business with.

Sim Carstairs You bet. You know in my line of work, you gotta be able either to sing "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" or "Dixie" with equal enthusiasm... dependin' upon present company.

Carpetbagger Can't say as I blame you for that. Only good business to play it safe.

[telling Capt. Terrell why they need to go in a different direction than Wales' true course]

Fletcher Look at those boys over there: tied-down guns. Bounty hunters. Come out of a war, got no other way to make a livin'. Every last mother's son of them wants that money you got on Wales' head. Now, you and me didn't ride all that way for that. I don't want to hear Wales dead... I want to SEE Wales dead.

Lone Watie wore this frock coat in Washington, before the war. We wore them because we belonged to the five civilized tribes. We dressed ourselves up like Abraham Lincoln. We only got to see the Secretary of the Interior, and he said: "Boy! You boys sure look civilized.!" he congratulated us and gave us medals for looking so civilized. We told him about how our land had been stolen and our people were dying. When we finished he shook our hands and said, "endeavor to persevere!" They stood us in a line: John Jumper, Chili McIntosh, Buffalo Hump, Jim Buckmark, and me - I am Lone Watie. They took our pictures. And the newspapers said, "Indians vow to endeavor to persevere."

Lone Watie A horned toad can tell you which way to go. I used to know all these things when I was young. But when I got civilized, I forgot all these things. I didn't know which way to go. The horned toad says we should go to Mexico.

Carpetbagger This is the very best thing for those who can't handle their liquor.
