Across the Great Divide
1976
Zachariah Coop: A good Christian does not flinch with difficulty. Holly Smith: He doesn't court them by drinking either.
Jason Smith: Are you really a trickster? Zachariah Coop: Oh, I think most people are at a certain level. But remember this: you can't trick a man unless he's aiming to trick you. Jason Smith: How come? Zachariah Coop: Well, because people in general like the idea of getting something for nothing. And the trickster affords him that opportunity.
Zachariah Coop: I'm going to give up gambling until I get you there. Holly Smith: I don't believe it. Zachariah Coop: Well, I'd be willing to bet ya.
Jason Smith: How come you can speak Indian? Zachariah Coop: Well, my mother was the daughter of a Cherokee chief. Jason Smith: Really? Zachariah Coop: Yeah. Jason Smith: What was she like? Zachariah Coop: I don't really remember because she died two years before I was born.
(first lines) (to a deer with a large rack of antlers) Zachariah Coop: The top of the morning to you! Eh? Well, thank you. That's a fine hat you're wearin' yourself.
