:37:00
Got some venison and a cougar.
:37:04
- Heard about the bear, have you?
- Big one, I heard.
:37:14
Coffee, Mr. President?
:37:23
Is that the bear?
:37:24
Yes, this is the bear that attacked
the horse camp at dawn.
:37:28
He knew that men would be asleep
or at their worst at dawn.
:37:32
He injured one of the Indians severely.
Killed several of the horses too.
:37:36
Did you participate in stopping
the bear, Mr. President?
:37:39
Yes, I regret to say.
:37:42
- Why do you regret, Mr. President?
- Because he's a fine creature.
:37:46
This is his valley.
:37:48
This valley belonged to the bear,
and we're the intruders here.
:37:53
We're accustomed to wild animals taking
flight at the sight of men with guns.
:37:57
The American grizzly fears nothing...
:37:59
...not man, not guns, not death.
:38:03
Do you intend to have this bear
as a rug in the White House?
:38:06
Rug? No.
:38:07
No, I intend to have him stuffed
and placed on exhibit.
:38:10
The Smithsonian Institute.
:38:13
The American grizzly bear is a symbol
of the American character.
:38:18
Strength. Intelligence. Ferocity.
:38:24
A little blind and reckless at times...
:38:27
...but courageous beyond all doubt.
:38:29
And one other trait that goes
with all previous.
:38:32
- And that, Mr. President?
- Loneliness.
:38:35
A bear lives out his life alone...
:38:38
...indomitable, unconquered,
but always alone.
:38:43
He has no real allies, only enemies,
but none of them are as great as he.
:38:47
Do you feel this might be
an American trait?
:38:50
Certainly. The world will never love us.
:38:53
It may respect us...
:38:55
...they may even grow to fear us,
but they will never love us.
:38:59
For we have too much audacity...
