Quotes

Medicine River

Edit
  • Soldier: Perhaps you would like to take my photograph?
  • Will: I don't do portraits.
  • Soldier: Personally, I was in favor of shooting you.
  • [cocks his gun]
  • Will: Is that, full face or profile?
  • Will: You know, this isn't the first time you almost got me killed. Nicaragua last year, India the year before.
  • Ellen Lesly: Well...
  • Will: Working for you is tough!
  • Ellen Lesly: You know, you're just upset about losing your photos.
  • Will: Couldn't you just find me some nice, quiet, local disaster?
  • Harlen Bigbear: In the old days people used to say: as long as you can see the mountain, you knew you were home.
  • [to Will]
  • George Harley: Nice suit. You know, people come to respect you if you dress right. I know a guy who likes to dress up like a Hollywood Indian. Wears all that cheap, Japanese Indian jewelry you see at airport gift shops.
  • [to Lester]
  • Lester: The guy I know can't tell the difference between polyester and silk.
  • Harlen Bigbear: I want you all to meet a world-famous photographer. This here is Will, James' brother.
  • Bertha Morely: This the one who didn't come home for his mother's funeral?
  • Will: I didn't know.
  • Harlen Bigbear: He was held prisoner in Montreal.
  • Will: Malawi!
  • Floyd: Those the only shoes you got, man?
  • [to Will]
  • Elwood: Seen a pair like that in Calgary, an antique store!
  • Harlen Bigbear: What's it do?
  • Will: Well, say you wanted to take a picture that you wanted to be in too, you set the time delay, press the shutter release and you have about 10 seconds.
  • Harlen Bigbear: Get out of town!
  • Will: I'm trying to.
  • Louise Heavyman: League game with Nanton this week. The center isn't any good, yes!
  • Will: Oh, well neither am I.
  • Louise Heavyman: Tell me about it. But you do have nice legs!
  • Candy: So what are you now, four, five months?
  • Louise Heavyman: Six-and-half.
  • Candy: Damn and looking great. Hardly shows at all! This the father?
  • [referring to Will]
  • Bertha Morely: No, father's Cree from Edmonton. His name's Harold, he's skinner and better looking.
  • Louise Heavyman: Did he tell you I wanted a child, on my own? No husband. Did he also tell you that I didn't want the complication of raising a man too?
  • [to Will]
  • Will: You're attractive.
  • Louise Heavyman: A little tubby but attractive.
  • Will: I like tubby.
  • Bertha Morely: It's Louise, you want me to tell her you're with another woman?
  • Will: I'll be right back, it's my, my accountant.

  • Will: What's left?
  • Martha Old Crow: You the one who's in love with Louise Heavyman? Are you deaf or something?
  • Will: Ah, no, I like Louise.
  • Martha Old Crow: Ok. Like is good enough.
  • Will: How many points did I get?
  • [in the championship game]
  • Harlen Bigbear: None, Will. But you were scary. Big scary!
  • Will: Louise, how are you?
  • Louise Heavyman: Shoot me, please!
  • [in labor pains]
  • Will: No, you look great.
  • Louise Heavyman: Shut up!
  • Will: Sorry.
  • Louise Heavyman: Heard the team won.
  • Will: What do you got a fax machine in here?
