Quotes 

• Bill Hawks : What are you limping about?

  Flint McCullough : I've been walking for the last four hours.

  Bill Hawks : Where'd you find 'em?

  Flint McCullough : [Bill hands Flint a container of water]  Thanks. Oh, about eight miles south of here off the trail.

  Bill Hawks : Just the two of them?

  Flint McCullough : Yeah, from what I can gather, the husband took a team horse and left her most of the water.

• Walt Keene : Have you ever been hungry, Mister? I mean not just for a day or two. But everyday and every night for sixteen months. Four hundred and eighty seven days so hungry you'd eat strap leather. A day's ration was a pinch of meal, a dried up sweet potato. Sometimes, if you were lucky, a scrap of vermin infested meat.

  Dr. Allison Day : You've heard of Andersonville, Mr Hawks?

  Bill Hawks : You mean the Confederate prison in Georgia?

  Ross Amber : Pesthole of the South.

  Dr. Allison Day : Prisoners sometimes develop strong habits of survival, hoarding scraps of food is one of them. Sometimes it carries over.

• Bill Hawks : What's bothering him?

  Flint McCullough : We had words.
