- Naru: I don't know that this thing can be killed.
- Taabe: If it bleeds, we can kill it.
- [to the French trapper she's ensnared as a trap for the Predator]
- Naru: You bled my brother. So now you bleed. You think that I am not a hunter like you. That I am not a threat. That is what makes me dangerous. You can't see that I'm killing you. And it won't either.
- Naru: This is as far as you go. No more. This is it.
- Naru: It knows how to hunt. But I know how to survive.
- Aruka: My girl, you are good at so many things. Why do you want to hunt?
- Naru: Because you all think I can't.
- Naru: Taabe, this morning in the sky, I saw a sign. The thunderbird. I've been practicing. It's time. I'm ready for my kühtaamia.
- Taabe: You really think you're ready? You wanna hunt something that's hunting you?
- Taabe: [shoots the falcon] You were sleeping.
- Naru: I was waiting for it to circle back. Now you're gonna have to cross the river to get it. Don't get your bowstring wet.
- Naru: [to Sarii] Next time, you're cooking.
- Wasape: You need a leash for your weapon?
- Naru: No. It doesn't want bait. It doesn't hunt that way.
- Taabe: It's time, Naru. Your kühtaamia. When the lion comes, you tell that thing, "This is far as you go. No more. This is it."
- Naru: Whatever did this, I can kill it.
- Itsee: You could get shot sneaking up like that.
- Naru: Who's sneaking?
- Wasape: Who invited you? We won't be gone long enough to need a cook.
- Naru: I saw it.
- Wasape: Saw what?
- Naru: I saw that left those tracks.
- Wasape: The bear?
- Naru: There was a bear, but there was something else, and it was huge. I couldn't see it until it was covered in blood, but it looked like-- like a mupitsl.
- Wasape: Your monster from a children's story?
- Naru: It fought and killed a bear with its hands, easily.
- Ania: How come it didn't kill you?
- Raphael: You should be helping us. I think this creature is a hunter, looking for the strongest beast. What do you know? It killed your whole party.
- Naru: No. It didn't kill everyone.
- Raphael: If you were smart, you'd help us.
- Paaka: It won't matter how sharp it is if you're too afraid to use it. You think you're ready? You've never faced a lion. Its mouth full of teeth like arrows, ready to tear your flesh and crush your bones. When your brother comes back, he and I will find the lion and kill it.
- [gets pounced on by the mountain lion]
- Taabe: Naru, we don't need the torches. They'll scare the cat. We're in its hunting grounds. Why'd you come back?
- Naru: I found tracks, and they were huge.
- Taabe: I'm not frightened by a bear.
- Naru: I don't think it was a bear. I don't know what it was. I've never seen anything like it. It skinned and gutted a snake.
- Taabe: Well, whatever it was, we're in the cat's den now. We have to deal with it first.
