Quotes 

• Jason Smith : How come you can speak Indian?

  Zachariah Coop : Well, my mother was the daughter of a Cherokee chief.

  Jason Smith : Really?

  Zachariah Coop : Yeah.

  Jason Smith : What was she like?

  Zachariah Coop : I don't really remember because she died two years before I was born.

• Jason Smith : Are you really a trickster?

  Zachariah Coop : Oh, I think most people are at a certain level. But remember this: you can't trick a man unless he's aiming to trick you.

  Jason Smith : How come?

  Zachariah Coop : Well, because people in general like the idea of getting something for nothing. And the trickster affords him that opportunity.
