Windlifter Windlifter copies!

Toughest Pawnee Only a white man would make a fire for everyone to see.

Maj. Heyward You there, Scout! We must rest soon, the women are tired.

Magua No, two leagues, better water. We stop there.

Maj. Heyward No, we'll stop in the glade just ahead. When the ladies are rested, we will proceed. Do you understand?

Magua Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness.

Magua Magua said... I understand English, very well.

Magua You speak poison with two tongues!

Mr. Furious Why am I doing this again?

Sphinx When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.

Mr. Furious And why am I wearing the watermelon on my feet?

Sphinx I don't remember telling you to do that.

Windlifter I'm with Cabbie.

Hawkeye I come to you unarmed and in peace to unstuff your ears, Sachem. Let the children of the dead Colonel Munro go free. Take fire out of the English anger over the murder of their helpless ones. Sachem, the French fathers made peace. Magua broke it. It is false that the French will be friends still to the Huron. Would Magua use the ways of Les Francais and the Yengeese? Would you?

Magua Yes.

Hawkeye Would the Huron make his Algonquin brothers foolish with brandy and steal his lands to sell them for gold to the white man? Would Huron have greed for more land than a man can use? Would Huron fool Seneca into taking all the furs of all the animals of the forest for beads and strong whiskey? Those are the ways of the Yengeese and the Francais traders and their masters in Europe infected with the sickness of greed. Magua's heart is twisted. He would make himself into what twisted him. I am Nathaniel of the Yengeese. Hawkeye, adopted son of Chingachgook of the Mohican people. Let the children of the dead Munro and the Yengeese officer go free. This belt, which is a record of the days of my father's people, speaks for my truth.

Shoveler Come on, somebody do something! We need him!

Bowler Okay, let's do this. You're a very furious man. Do you understand that?

Mr. Furious No.

Bowler No? Well, you've got a lot to be furious about, and I'll tell you why. You're - not well-liked. You're, uh, abrasive and off-putting. You try to say pithy things, but your wit is a hindrance... so therefore nothing is provacative, it's just mixed metaphors. Now doesn't that make you angry? Does it infuriate you?

Mr. Furious No.

Bowler Well, it should! Are you angry? Come ON, man!

Shoveler Your penmanship is atrocious!

Sphinx You dress in the manner of a male prostitute.
