Laura Campbell: Marie Revard

Quotes 

• Kenyon : [pulling a knife on Zeb]  You just made a big mistake, mister.

  Zeb Macahan : [holding his bowie knife in defence]  Yours was coming in here.

  Marie Revard : [cocking a rifle that's aimed at Kenyon]  It would give me the greatest of pleasure to blow your head off, monsieur.

• Louis Riel : It's sad, is it not, that in order to have that which should be the meanest man's birthright, freedom... we have to make an enemy of others. Kill or be killed.

  [takes a moment to look at Marie] 

  Louis Riel : But whenever that thought begins to make me drown in grief, I lay it beside your name, and suddenly the world is a brighter place.

  Marie Revard : [sighs]  You are teasing me.

  Louis Riel : No. Do you not know by now that you cut a shape upon the air that will be my scar?

• Zeb Macahan : Now them's were real glory days. Use to call them 'the shining times'.

  Marie Revard : You miss those days?

  Zeb Macahan : No, I never miss nothin' in the past.

  Marie Revard : Nothing behind you? Not even a love affair?

  Zeb Macahan : Marie, did anybody ever tell ya you ask too many questions?

  Marie Revard : [giggles]  It is the right of every woman to be curious.
