Last of the Dogmen

Professor Lillian Stone:
What happened was inevitable. The way it happened was unconscionable.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
Dynamite? It's like wine, it only gets better with age.

Professor Lillian Stone:
Look, Elvis is dead, the government is not hiding UFOs, and there are no Indians in the Oxbow.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
I've seen this place reduce grown men to tears. It ain't no place for a woman.

Narrator:
I'd say most of what I'm telling you is true. And the rest... well, the rest is the West.

Professor Lillian Sloan:
It's a little disconcerting to realize that the smartest member of our expedition's the dog.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
I told you to watch your step! You're not in a classroom! Out here one little mistake will get you killed.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
You wanna go back?

Professor Lillian Sloan:
Yes. I'm an anthropologist, not Daniel Boone.

Professor Lillian Sloan:
You know what this is?

Tracker Lewis Gates:
Well, call it a wild guess. An arrow?

Professor Lillian Sloan:
A Cheyenne arrow, Dog Soldier to be exact.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
Dog Soldier?

Professor Lillian Sloan:
Within the Cheyenne tribe there used to be a military society made up of the strongest and bravest men. They were fierce fighters -- unyielding. They called themselves Chotometnea -- dogmen.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
Why Indians?

Professor Lillian Sloan:
Oh, because I admire them. And because we owe them a tremendous debt.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
How's that?

Professor Lillian Sloan:
Well, they gave us romance, myths, legends. They gave us a history. The Indians shaped the character of our entire nation.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
We picked a hell of a way to say thank you, didn't we?

Tracker Lewis Gates:
What are you telling him?

Professor Lillian Sloan:
I told him we come in a good wa, in peace. I also told him you were a great warrior who wasn't afraid to fight them all single-handedly.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
You've got to be kidding.

Professor Lillian Sloan:
The Cheyenne admore bravery. Let's just hope they don't put you to the test.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
If they do, I'm coming after you first.

Professor Lillian Sloan:
He's leader of the dog soldiers: net in line to be chief.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
I guess it takes a real man to shoot a dog.

Professor Lillian Sloan:
You should be happy theu didn't eat him. Oh, didn't I tell you? That's the other reason they're called dog soldiers.

Tracker Lewis Gates:
Could you promise me something? No matter how bad it gets, no matter what happens... I don't want them to eat my dog.
