Max Cisneros: Second chief
Quotes
-
Second chief : [Tonto has brought a wounded John Reid to the Indian camp, where he can hide from Butch Cavendish] The white man make many promises to us, yet they keep only one: they promise to take our land, and they take it. You see the suffering and the misery they bring to your people. And now you bring one of them here, to be nursed back to health? Tonto, why?
Tonto : No one has greater cause to fill his heart with hatred for the white man than I. He has taken from me my wife and my child. But the man I have brought here today is my brother, and I will guard his life with my own if it comes to such. If I am wrong about him - if he proves to be an enemy - then I, Tonto, will decorate my lance with this white man's hair. But until that day comes - UNLESS it comes - let him not be judged by his color, but by his heart.
