| Quotes |
Eli:
Why don't we let the Bear at 'em, Junior? Junior: Nah, Bear's done his work for the night, these two... they ran away from the bear. [Soldier and Kid struggle] Eli: What do you mean? Junior: A few days... [grabs Soldier's bonds] Junior: and those bags'll sweat the water right outta their bodies! They'll die of thirst... then we'll cut 'em down, take them outta the bags... and drag them deep into the woods. They'll look like they ran away from the bear... got lost, and couldn't find no water. We'll leave a mark on them. It's BETTER than they deserve! See more » |
