1:03:05
You know, not that long ago,
I couldn't do that.
1:03:10
Could barely take a breath
without coughing up blood.
1:03:14
Tuberculosis.
1:03:17
That, along with...
1:03:19
fierce headaches...
1:03:22
depression...
1:03:25
suicidal ambition.
1:03:27
I was in pretty horrible shape.
1:03:32
In fact...
1:03:34
I was on my way
to a sanatorium to convalesce...
1:03:36
more likely to die...
1:03:39
when en route, this Indian scout
told me a curious story.
1:03:45
A man eats the flesh
of another...
1:03:49
he steals his strength.
1:03:53
He absorbs
the other man's spirit.
1:04:00
Well...
1:04:03
I just had to try.
1:04:06
Consequently,
I ate the scout first...
1:04:08
and, you know,
he was absolutely right.
1:04:11
I grew...stronger.
1:04:16
Later, through circumstance...
1:04:17
my wagon train grew lost
in the Rockies.
1:04:19
-I've heard this story before.
-Mmm.
1:04:24
I ate five men in three months.
1:04:28
Tuberculosis?
1:04:30
Vanished...
1:04:32
as did the black thoughts.
1:04:35
I reached Denver that spring
feeling...happy.
1:04:40
And healthy.
1:04:44
And virile.
1:04:46
Did you eat her, too?
1:04:50
Well, as a matter of fact--
1:04:51
You're disgusting.
1:04:55
Here I am, one year later...
1:04:56
feeling more alive
than ever before.
1:04:58
And that's what surprises me
about you, Boyd.
