Quotes 

• Wes Benteen : People want to back a winner. They need to feel a part of something bigger than they are. They used to advertise the quality of a product - - tastes great, whitens your teeth, shaves close, rides like a dream - - Now what do they push? America's number one soft drink. Best-selling mid-sized utility vehicle. It isn't "buy the product." It's "Join the club." You make people feel part of a winner, they'll follow you anywhere.

• Wes Benteen : American's don't have the patience for underdogs that they used to. A coach goes three seasons without a ring, he's out on his ass... as he should be.

• Wes Benteen : [riding horses]  Take a good look Dickie.

  Dickie Pilager : Mountains...

  Wes Benteen : I see a big sign that says, no Americans allowed.

  Dickie Pilager : [looking around]  You do?

  Wes Benteen : You look at a map, they got half the west under lock and key.

  Dickie Pilager : They?

  Wes Benteen : Bureau of Land Management, Forrest Service, National Parks, the State.
