Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans1957

[last lines]

Colonel Thorne:
I wish to offer you, Hawkeye, the post of Chief of Scouts with the rank of Captain.

Captain West:
You would honor the service by accepting.

Nat 'Hawkeye' Cutler:
That's a real compliment, Colonel, but I reckon me and army regulations, we just don't get along somehow. Besides, Chingachgook and I were planning on heading out for some new hunting grounds west of the Big Smoky Mountains, where the grass is tall and green and there aren't any wars going on. Thanks anyhow. Goodbye.

Marion Thorne:
Hawkeye, it's always like that on the other side of the mountain - until you're there.

Nat 'Hawkeye' Cutler:
Seems that way, ma'am, but it doesn't stop a fellow from wanting to find out for himself.
