Quotes 

• Nurse St. Cloud : You will have great wealth if you let these men own the land.

  [Chief responds] 

  Nurse St. Cloud : He says, who can own a tree? Who can own a rock? Only the Great Spirit. Mister Black, these grounds are the homes to our ancient Indian ceremonial grounds, my grandfather and I are the last of our tribe.

• [Krader has come to kill Ernest with his rifle. He points his rifle at Ernest and has him dead in the crosshairs] 

  Nurse St. Cloud : [v.o]  If he had faith in The Great One, the knife would not cut him.

  [Krader fires and inexplicably misses, much his his own and Ernest's surprise. He moves closer and aims again] 

  Nurse St. Cloud : [v.o]  If he had courage; *true* courage, the rock would not break him.

  [Krader fires again and misses. He moves closer and targets Ernest again] 

  Nurse St. Cloud : [v.o]  If the brave was pure of heart, the arrow could not catch him.

  [Krader fires and misses. He moves to point-blank range and takes aim. Ernest plugs the rifle barrel with his finger and smirks] 

  Ernest P. Worrell : [smugly]  Paper, rock, scissors.

• Nurse St. Cloud : And that was the ritual of the Blade, the Stone, and the Arrow.

  Ernest P. Worrell : Like in our culture: Paper, Rock, Scissors.
