Jeremiah Johnson:
Y'ever get lonesome?

Bear Claw Chris Lapp:
Fer what?

Jeremiah Johnson:
Woman?

Bear Claw Chris Lapp:
Full time night woman? I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest b*tch that ever balled for beads. I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it.

    Poor writing in that passage. In the 1960's the term "balling" as an euphemism for sex was popular and might have sounded "cool" in the script at the time, but it has no place in 1850's discourse. It jumps out at me evertime I watch the movie. If you have never read the book Crow Killer, on which the movie was based, you should. The original script was written by John Milius writer of Conan and Apocolypse Now and Red Dawn, a real man's man. In a later interview, Pollack complained that the orginal script had more violence and had Johnson eating the livers of his foes. Obviously Pollack was a metrosexual wimp. The Indians and everyone else knew Johnson as "Liver Eating" Johnson and he was feared. He fought in the Civil War and then went back into the Mts to continue killing Crows for having murdered his wife and infant son, who's skeleton he kept secreted away in an small cave in the mountains. Makes you wonder how much better the movie would have been if not rewritten with all the warm and fuzy revisionist crap.
