Quotes 

• Elsa : I felt their eyes move over me. Felt their pity and disapproval. And it meant nothing to me. The only thing that mattered was riding away, just as I was riding away from him. As I pondered the new journey before me, making it back to him. They watched the tears run my cheeks and I let them. I didn't turn my face or wipe them away. Tears we can't control, sobs and weeps are little surrenders, and I will surrender nothing to the pain. Tears may flow, but I will not weep. I am the wife of a warrior now. Which is to say, I am a warrior. And warriors don't cry. We're wasting time.

• Elsa : How do you say "I love you?"

  Sam : [Comanche]  Kah-Muk-Kun-Tun Nuh.

  Elsa : [repeats phonetically]  Kah-Muh...

  Sam : [interjects]  -Mah-Kun-Tun Nuh.

  Elsa : Kah-Mah-Kun-Tun Nuh.

  Sam : [chuckles]  Pretty good.

  Elsa : How do you say my name?

  Sam : Lightning with the Yellow Hair...

  [translates to Comanche] 

  Elsa : [Elsa says her name in Comanche, Sam smiles and nods his head in approval]  Teach me more.

  Sam : [strokes Elsa's neck, speaks Comanche]  Eere.

  Sam : [touches Elsa's shoulder]  Huku.

  Sam : [touches Elsa's jaw]  Tsunipuh.

  Sam : [kisses Elsa]  Mura.
