Quotes 

  • Sgt. Bart Huntington : Clay'll go with you, won't you, boy?

    Cpl. Clay Taylor : Of course I will.

    Ruddy Blaine : You better put on your buckskins.

  • Flint McCullough : I'm glad I met you, Ruddy.

    Ruddy Blaine : You see old Bridger, you tell him we met up. And tell him he did a fine job on you.

  • Flint McCullough : Ruddy Blaine? The Devil you are.

    Ruddy Blaine : No, the Devil I ain't. Ruddy Blaine's who I am and no kin to the Devil. This here's Corporal Clay Taylor.

    Flint McCullough : Taylor. I'm glad to meet you. I'm Flint McCullough.

    Ruddy Blaine : McCullough? Bridger raised a cub named McCullough.

    Flint McCullough : That'd be me.

    Ruddy Blaine : Now I'm glad to meet you.

  • Ruddy Blaine : I figure I can make it in two. Over the Path of the Serpent.

    Flint McCullough : Do you think that's going to be safe for the girl?

    Ruddy Blaine : I ain't one to deny she'd be better off with you. But if she wants to see her Pa alive, she's gotta chance it.

    Flint McCullough : What about the Utes?

    Ruddy Blaine : We scouted both sides of the river. There ain't no sign of them now.

  • Penelope Huntington : Do you see what the Serpent is doing to him?

    Ruddy Blaine : He's doing what any other Indian would do. It's the spoils of war. Ain't never very pretty.

  • Bill Hawks : Leave the horses? Ruddy, we won't make any time at all on foot.

    Ruddy Blaine : We'll be a lot harder to find on foot though than on horseback.

  • Ruddy Blaine : The Indians got a saying. They say when a baby is born, first opens its eyes and sees the shining mountains, he'll never be happy no other place.

    Penelope Huntington : The shining mountains? What a beautiful name. Why would anyone want to call them the Rockies?

    Ruddy Blaine : Oh, I don't know. I guess, maybe 'cause they're old, tough and cranky. I call them a lot worse in my time.

  • Ruddy Blaine : Well, if I'd had the love of someone like your Ma, I'd, ah, I'd have lived in Timbuktu.

  • Ruddy Blaine : No, the forest is my home.

    Penelope Huntington : In a cabin?

    Ruddy Blaine : Hah. I was always going to build a cabin. I just never got 'round to it. Maybe if i was married it would have been different. As it is, the older I get the more four walls sort of squeeze me in.

    Penelope Huntington : You never married?

    Ruddy Blaine : Oh dear girl. Some men is husband material and some ain't. No, I took the big, old sky, wind, mountains for me.

  • Ruddy Blaine : You must be going out of your mind with pain. Now I want you to stop it. You know I ain't suitable for her. I'm a mountain man, a trailblazer.

  • Sgt. Bart Huntington : The devils come back to finish us. We drove them off. Orders came to abandon the fort, move onto McConnell's Garrison. Told 'em not to take me. I'd wait, to see my daughter. You brought her, Ruddy, didn't you? You didn't fail me?

    Ruddy Blaine : No. I brought her. You know the sight I gotta walk her through? With Bennington and Brown and Charlie and Hills standing around out there.

    Sgt. Bart Huntington : It was the Lieutenant's inspiration. We put your old comrades out to keep the watch for you, he said. The blasted Utes are so full of liquor, they'll think the fort's still manned... It's a grim joke.

  • Penelope Huntington : I know how you spent your life in the mountains. And I know how little place a wife has in where you've lived. But if you'd honour my father's wishes, I'll try to learn your ways and not be a burden.

    Ruddy Blaine : You don't know what you're saying. That's kinda opening the doorways of heaven. I'll live and die for her, Bart.

    Penelope Huntington : And I for you.

  • Ruddy Blaine : Thank you, boy. He darn near had me.

    Cpl. Clay Taylor : You'd have done the same for me.

  • Bill Hawks : Said he wants to go as far as Denver with the wagon train to that Army Post. Wants a change of duty.

    Ruddy Blaine : He wants it? Why would he want that?

    Bill Hawks : You raised him, Ruddy. You know him better than anybody else.

  • Ruddy Blaine : There ain't no home for a woman on the Path of the Serpent.

  • Ruddy Blaine : Clay, have you quarelled with that girl?

    Cpl. Clay Taylor : No.

    Ruddy Blaine : I feel there's something wrong between ya.

    Cpl. Clay Taylor : There's nothing.

    Ruddy Blaine : I feel there is.

    Cpl. Clay Taylor : Look, we've hardly spoken. How could we have quarrelled?
