1:08:02
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Bass have a jaw that stick out like this.
1:08:06
What I wanted to tell you is...
1:08:08
while back, a man came at me with a gun.
1:08:10
- I had to kill him.
- Good. Indian?
1:08:13
No, he was a white man, Johnny,
but I didn't have any choice. He...
1:08:17
I told you to press down on the shank,
and then you won't stick yourself.
1:08:21
Won't break the hook, either.
1:08:24
Here, bite down on this stick.
That's the way Indian youngsters...
1:08:27
learn not to cry.
1:08:36
- Johnny, this man I killed...
- No!
1:08:41
Your ranch in California,
it's far, too far for gossip to travel.
1:08:47
Go wrap your thumb
in some bayberry leaves.
1:08:51
You and your silly ideals.
1:08:53
You think truth is the most important thing.
1:08:56
- It's the measure of a man.
- Not for a woman.
1:08:58
A man can afford to have noble sentiments
and poses.
1:09:02
But a woman only has the man she marries.
That's her truth.
1:09:05
And if he's no good, that's still her truth.
1:09:07
I married a man who was a liar,
a thief, and a coward.
1:09:10
He was a drunkard and unfaithful.
1:09:12
He only married me to get this ranch, and
then he deserted Johnny and me for good.
1:09:16
And that's your fine truth for you.
1:09:19
- Could I bring Johnny up on that?
- No, I guess you couldn't.
1:09:22
And then you come along
and you're good and fine...
1:09:24
and everything that Ed
could never hope to be.
1:09:27
And now, with your vanity, you want to spoil
Johnny's chances, and mine?
1:09:37
- Varlebena.
- What?
1:09:40
When the Indians wind up their
squaw-seeking ceremony...
1:09:43
they only say one word: Varlebena.
1:09:47
It means forever.
1:09:53
Forever.
