Elmer: Why are we at the Grand Canyon?::Sue: The Colorado River is at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. [Looks at Luke and Elmer] Is this news to both of you?::Elmer: Geography wasn't my thing. I was more of an arts and music guy.::Luke: I was remedial.::Sue: Yeah, but everybody knows that the Colorado River is at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I thought you were taking me to a fort at a crossing?::Luke: Sue, please don't yell. He's the one who told you about the army and the fort and all that stuff. That's the first I ever heard of it.::Sue: [Turns to Elmer] You were lying?::Elmer: No, I wasn't lying. He's the one that's supposed to know this country like the back of his hand. I figured once we reached the Colorado it was either left or right to the fort. Personally, I was gonna go straight and let you take it from there with your suicide plot against the U.S. Army.::Sue: I should've left you two for the Cursed.::Elmer: It was your crazy uncle Geronimo set 'em loose. So I don't see either one of us is to blame for our problems right now.::Sue: You wanna blame me for my uncle's curse? I'm not the one who drove him off a cliff, *soldier*. And if I hadn't've found you two idiots, they would have. I hope this plague kills all of you white people.::Elmer: I ain't that big a fan of white people either, sister. At least we got fucking wheels.::Sue: What the hell is that supposed to mean?::Elmer: Wheels... the basic benchmark of civilization. You Indians are supposed to be so great and wise and everything; and I got sympathy for your situation, I do. But you'd still be dragging everything on the ground if we hadn't've brought wheels into this country. And horses. The fucking Spanish brought you your horses, did you know that? Before they got here, you was just a bunch of savages in diapers dragging all your shit around on sticks and blankets.::Sue: That is so ignorant.::Elmer: Seems like you like our guns too; and I ain't even gonna start on the fire water shit.::Sue: Did you invent the wheel, Elmer? No, you didn't. But you're gonna take personal credit for Western Civilization? Your monkey ancestors happened to be born in an area with abundant founder crops; big, slow ruminants, and a lateral continental axis that allowed for the development of agriculture, writing and maritime technology. Not to mention cross-species plagues, which are the real weapons of European conquest. So you invented smallpox; nice going *dick*!::Luke: Monkey ancestors?::Sue: Oh, Jesus Christ. Read a book!::Elmer: What the hell kinda crazy book is that shit in?
Claypool: You say another word and I'm gonna shoot that jaw clean off your face. Then I'm gonna take a shit in your chin hole.
Luke: Well, in case they catch up, I've got Sparkles and Sunshine!
Claypool: Damnit Cletus! What are you doing out there! making a 10-pound ass baby?::Cletus: I'm sorry sheriff. I was trying to pee.::Claypool: How did that go, genius? You figure it all out?::Cletus: I think that thing we got might be worse than what we thought. [Cletus hands the sheriff something]::Claypool: What the fuck are you handing me? A dead baby field mouse?::Cletus: It ain't a dead baby field mouse!::Claypool: [both grunt in disgust] You just made me touch your penis!
Luke: [trying to escape the zombies at the fort,Luke discovers that the zombies ate his horse!] Frisky? Frisky!::Elmer: Frisky's gone to horsy heaven. We'll say a few words later.::Luke: You monsters! I loved Frisky! He was the best damn horse in the whole world and you ate him!

Nalinle: Why did you come back, Massai?::Massai: This is where I belong.::Nalinle: Is it? Is this where you plan to die?::Massai: Only a warrior chooses a place to die. I am no longer a warrior.
Massai: I must hunt with the bow again. I may not be back tonight.::Nalinle: You will come back?::Massai: You know I would not leave my rifle.
Massai: You call that life? If an Apache cannot live in his home mountains like his fathers before him, he is already dead!
Massai: You have a woman and yet you carry the water?::Clagg: Some of the white man's ways are hard.
Santos: Even a hawk is an eagle among crows.
Massai: If the Cherokee is like the white man, then he is Massai's enemy.::Clagg: I am the enemy of no man.::Massai: Then the Cherokee is a woman!::Clagg: I am no woman! My people have fought the white man many times but have always been driven west. First from a place called Carolina, then the land of Tennessee and then at last to Oklahoma. But there our chiefs grew wise. They did not fight and they did not run.::Massai: Neither does the turtle.::Clagg: Are you afraid of the turtle? Then put your knife away.
Massai: Apaches are warriors, not farmers.::Clagg: You have seen the world of the white man...their numbers are like leaves on the trees. That taught you nothing? The warriors' day is over. Once we Cherokees were like the Apaches. We feasted when the hunting was good. We starved when it was bad. But the white man ate all year around...because he raised his own food. We found we could live with the white man...only if we live like him.
Nalinle: But will they not say that growing corn is woman's work?::Massai: I am a warrior. What I do can never be woman's work.
Nalinle: My father wronged you. Many men have wronged you. But now you make yourself worse than they are. Now there is nothing in you but hate. You fight only yourself. You kill only for yourself. You are like a dying wolf biting at its own wounds.
Al Sieber: You want us to kill you, don't you Massai, right out here in front of all your blood-thirsty brethren, so they can sing your praises around the campfire and start another war in your honor. It would be a sweet death, wouldn't it, Massai? A warrior's death. But you're not a warrior any more. You're just a whipped Indian... and nobody sings about handcuffs.

Thief of Time
The pages of the history books can tell you of his fame
And the fear that struck the settlers at the mention of his name
And in Mexico they won't forget the vengence of this man
Who blazed a bloody battle trail and terrorized their land.
Geronimo (Geronimo.)
He blazed a bloody battle trail and terrorized their land
(And terrorized their land.)
Some called him a runagade and some called him cheif
Some called him a warrior and some called him a theif
But this Cherakowa red man no braver hero falls
Apache brave and no ones slave he feared no man at all.
Geronimo (Geronimo.)
Apache brave and no ones slave he feared no man at all
(He feared no man at all.)
And no matter where he wandered
No matter where you go
His name will live forever
The famed Geronimo (the famed Geronimo.)
Geronimo (Geronimo.)
Geronimo (Geronimo.)
In the quiet life of a frogman
The snowman doesn't have any knees
Underneath the world that he left behind
He's afraid he's going to catch the disease
And he never has anyone over
These creatures are unknown to his wife
Never was the last time he changed his mind
He's just dreaming of a life in the movies
Here we go Geronimo, Geronimo
They love it G-E-R-O-N-I-M-O
On the days he thinks that he's Jesus
He allows himself to do as he pleases
Wags his middle finger at the things that go wrong
Lays a blessing on himself when he sneezes
And he never has anyone over
These creatures are unknown to his wife
Never was the last time he changed his mind
He's just dreaming of a life in the movies
Here we go Geronimo, Geronimo
They love it G-E-R-O-N-I-M-O
Oh, what you feel
It was a wildcat of a hot night
The stars were rippin' holes in the sky
The crickets in the thicket clicked quicker every minute
Poppin' like a fourth of July
On a tall point pony in a bolt of white light
Rode a fire-eyed medicine man
He said, "My name is Jerome and you're standin' in my home"
Haunting was a song that he sang
He said, "The salt from my tears made a mountain so high
The moon had to jump to get over
I was cheated and beat but I never denied
The sun's my daddy and the earth is my mama"
Wanderin' ghosts you made my tribe and my bride
Their prayers filled my ears as they fell
Then you drug me through the gutter till it hurt like hell
But if you think I look bad, baby, better check out yourself
He said, "Your bad dreams spinnin' in my mama's head
You strapped the foul-breathed wolf to her back
You ride a steel horse racin' toward a rainbow's end
While her seas and her rivers run black"
He said, "Look what you done to her native son
Buddy, look what you did to her skies
You trap her power and her glory in your company funds
But your prophets only make me cry"
He said, "The moon had to jump to get over
I was cheated and beat but I never denied
The sun's my daddy and the Earth is my mama"
Wanderin' ghosts, you made my tribe and my bride
Their prayers filled my ears as they fell
Then you drug me through the gutter 'till it hurt like hell
But if you think I look bad, baby, better check out yourself"
What you feel!
He said, "Boy, can't you see
That you're part of the planet no less or more
Than the sea or the granite?"
She tries to give you all her love
Still you just want to ride her
What will you give for your last cup of water?
What kind of price will you put on your brother?
What are the secrets of your soul?
She's keeping deep down inside her
Unless you really want to know, don't ask Geronimo
Don't wanna think about it anymore
Lying curled and naked on the floor
And I don't wanna hear those words you say
What were they anyway
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
So here I go (so here I go)
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Geronimo
Don't wanna get up out of bed today
It seems much hard than was yesterday
And I don't wanna hear those words you say
What were they anyway
What were they anyway
Geronimo!
Let's leave today a
And forget everything
Can't really take this place
So what you say
Lets leave it all behind
And don't look back
We won't rewind this time
While they have been eating
The rain has started falling,
Gradually gathering in strength.
What began a drizzle
Has now become torrential,
And doesn't look like coming to an end.
The two bedraggled figures
That huddle in the doorway
With nothing vaguely waterproof to wear
Are now secretly wishing
They'd listened to their mothers
When being told to always be prepared.
Screaming
"Geronimo!",
They run for it, down the road.
With an arm around her waist,
He leads her to a place
He knows.
Soaked through, but happy,
They squelch up to the landing;
The room before them
Makes a welcome sight.
The coal fire is throwing
Strange shapes upon the hearth rug,
And crying out to be knelt down beside.
She pulls off her jumper
And flings it in the corner;
He picks it up and hangs it on a chair.
She puts on a record
And sings into her coffee.
He puts a blanket round her, sits her down
While they have been eating
The rain has started falling,
Gradually gathering in strength;
What began a drizzle
Has now become torrential,
And doesn't look like coming to an end.

Just one touch, that's enough
And it's like pushing comes to shove
I think you like this way too much
I think you're way fucked up
Four hands fight, two hands tied
One wrong never felt so right
You don't wanna make me blush
You want me unconscious
I scream bloody murder
Why don't you call me something dirtier?
Never thought this harmless crush
Could be so dangerous
Trading looks back and forth
You just make me want it more
I know, soon we'll be trading blows
Getting on all fours and tearing off clothes
I can't believe this is happening
You knocked the wind right out of me
You don't wanna make me blush
You want me unconscious
Just take me down
Come on, put me to the ground
Yeah, I want it now, get on top of me
I can't stop thinking of pummeling you
For another full minute or two
When I get, when I get next to you
Geronimo
I can't stop thinking of pummeling you
For another full minute or two
When I get, when I get next to you
Come on, I want you to take me down
Come on, put me to the ground
Yeah, I want it now, jump on top of me
I'm feeling kind of wild I have burned down a house
The pleasure is mine it may be sick and may be wrong
That's why I did it all on my own
Pain in my mind is for no one to find
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm a world famous man
The world has gone mad and I'm being bad
To all the people that is feeling sad
Scalps on the wall are the trophies I've made
From all the people that stood in my way
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm a world famous man
Someone once said that I'm acting strange
That someone ain't living no more
People get scared when I'm passing by
I am the man who brings fear in Your eyes
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm a world famous man
My journey began on the day I was born
Ever since then I've been hunted by a man
With a rifle and star he may give me a scare
Someday I promise to cut of his scalp
Geronimo, Geronimo
I'm the world famous Geronimo
Geronimo, Geronimo
I do it again and again
I listen for visions and missions in the wind
I won the vote but shunned the soft parade
and now I'm picking garbage a true sage's trade
I won every battle and lost the war
You dared me to reach for it dared me to know
so I drove that car just as slow as it would go
listening for the sound
of my last hope hit the ground
won every battle but lost the war
you managed to take more than I had
with your greedy treaties and your rubber badge
you may have won every battle
but you lost the war
Well I only did what I knew
simple math nothing more nothing less
if you hadn't of told me
i never would have guessed
how hungry was your hate
how sealed was my fate
I won every battle but lost the war
you managed to take more than I had
with your greedy treaties and your rubber badge
you may have won every battle but you lost the war

She was beautiful
Beautiful to my eyes
From the moment I saw her
The sun filled the sky
She was so, so beautiful
Beautiful just to hold
In my dreams she was spring time
Winter was cold
How could I tell her
What I so clearly could see?
Though I longed for her
I never trusted her completely
So I never could be free
It was so, so beautiful
Knowing now that she cared
I will always remember
Moments that we shared
For it was beautiful, beautiful
