Del Gue: "Ain't that somethin'? I told my Pap and Mam I was coming to the mountains to trap and be a mountain man; acted like they were gut-shot. Says, "Son, make your life here, here's where the peopls is. Them mountains is for animals and savages." I says, "Mother Gue, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world", and by God, I was right."
Jeremiah Johnson: "Yes, you were."
Del Gue (as he rides away): " I ain't never seen'em, but my common sense tells me the Andes is foothills and the Alps is for children to climb! Keep good care of your hair! These here is God's finest sculpurings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches, except for this right here! And there ain't no priests excepting the birds..."
