Skinwalkers (2002 TV Movie)

Adam Beach: Jim Chee

Quotes 

• Jim Chee : I don't see how I can do this.

  Wilson Sam : Do what?

  Jim Chee : This case. It's too much.

  Wilson Sam : Wrong, Jim. Cop, medicine man, garbage man... No matter who you are, the dark wind blows on everyone, Jim. You just have to push yourself through it.

• Jim Chee : Did you get a look at 'em?

  German woman : What you say?

  Jim Chee : The boys who took your rental car, do you know what they look like?

  German woman : Oh, all the same. You know, there were Indians, like the two of you.

  [referring to him and Dr. Yazzie] 

  Jim Chee : I get it. "Like the two of you."

  [writing in his notebook] 

• Jim Chee : You know, you were voted what, ah "Most Likely To Move To Hollywood?"

  Janet Pete : Not that it matters but it was "New York."

• Wilson Sam : I don't like it.

  Jim Chee : This isn't about what you like or don't like, it's about keeping you safe.

  Wilson Sam : If I was supposed to live in a beehive, I would've been born a bee. What am I supposed to do in there!

  [referring to a motel] 

• Dr. Stone : Hey, this goop you had on here, Yarrow Root? So, tell me, Officer Chee, what does Yarrow Root have over Bacitracin?

  Jim Chee : It's free...

• Jim Chee : I wasn't out of control.

  Janet Pete : You were. And if Davis was more intelligent or more sober, he'd file a complaint.

  [after arresting Davis] 

• Janet Pete : So I've been hearing some talk about you training to be a medicine man. That true?

  Jim Chee : Yup.

  Janet Pete : Wow, a medicine man-cop. Illogical, contradictory, how wonderfully Navajo.

• Jim Chee : You say you're a doctor, a healer? Healers don't kill people. Navajo, Western medicine, new or old. We hold the sanctity of life!

• Lt. Joe Leaphorn : You, go on ahead.

  Jim Chee : I can't.

  Lt. Joe Leaphorn : And why not?

  Jim Chee : The ruins. It's not good for healers to be around them.

  Lt. Joe Leaphorn : It's an archaeological dig, Officer Chee. What did you expect to find up here, Easter eggs?

• Jim Chee : You know, fishing is not really your typical Navajo thing.

  Dr. Stone : I'm not your typical Navajo. My parents died when I was five. I was taken in by white folks, raised in Taos.

  Jim Chee : I'm sorry to hear that.

  Dr. Stone : About my parents or the white folks?

• Jim Chee : You make a good lasagna.

  Janet Pete : I don't make. I heat.
