Dances with Wolves

"I am Lieutenant John J. Dunbar and this is my post."

"I'll bet someone back east is going, 'Now why don't he write?'."
[after finding a skeleton]

Major Fambrough: "You wish to see the frontier?"
John Dunbar: "Yes sir, before it's gone."

"My place is with you. I go where you go."

Ten Bears: "Let us smoke a while."
John Dunbar: "[in thoughts, voiceover] With Ten Bears, it was always more than a while. There was purpose in everything he did, and I knew he wanted me to stay. But I was sure of myself. I would be an excuse, and that's all the Army would need to find this place. I pushed him as far as I could to move the camp. But in the end, he only smiled and talked of simple pleasures. He reminded me that at his age, a good fire was better than anything. Ten Bears was an extraordinary man."

"The strangeness of this life cannot be measured: in trying to produce my own death, I was elevated to the status of a living hero."

"Sir knight? I've just pissed in my pants... and nobody can do anything about it."

"If it wasn't for my companion, I believe I'd be having the time of my life."
