- Hello, Younger Bear.
- Goodbye.

:58:07
It was the boy whose life I'd saved,
to his mortal embarrassment.

:58:11
Did you catch the rabbits
on your hunting trip?

:58:15
No.
:58:17
Then don't give them
to Buffalo Wallow Woman.

:58:20
You see, Younger Bear
had become a contrary,...

:58:24
...the most dangerous
of all Cheyenne warriors...

:58:27
...because the way they live
drives them half-crazy.

:58:31
Except for battle, a contrary
does everything backwards.

:58:35
He says "goodbye" for "hello",
"yes" for "no",...

:58:39
...walks through bushes
instead of on trails,...

:58:42
...and washes with dirt
and dries with water.

:58:45
I thought you were dead.
:58:50
Why have you come back
when nobody wants to see you?

:58:54
You mustn't speak to Little Big Man
like that. You owe him a life.

:59:02
I'm glad I said it. Hello.
:59:05
That was supposed to mean
he was sorry he said it, goodbye.

:59:10
But that warrior wasn't sorry.
He hated me still.

:59:15
Grandfather, I have a white wife.
:59:20
You do?
:59:22
That's interesting.
:59:25
Does she cook and work hard?
:59:27
Oh, yes, Grandfather.
:59:30
That surprises me.
:59:32
Does she show pleasant enthusiasm
when you mount her?

:59:37
Well, sure, Grandfather.
:59:40
That surprises me even more.
:59:42
I tried one of them once,...
:59:45
...but she didn't show
any enthusiasm at all.

:59:55
Well, Grandfather,
all the whites aren't crazy.
