Nobody

Every night and every morn, some to misery are born. Every morn and every night, some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to sweet delight; some are born to endless night.

Nobody

That weapon will replace your tongue. You will learn to speak through it. And your poetry will now be written with blood.

Nobody

Don't let the sun burn a hole in your ass, William Blake. Rise now, and drive your cart and plough over the bones of the dead!

Nobody

Things which are alike, in nature, grow to look alike.

Nobody

The vision of Christ that thou dost see... is my vision's greatest enemy. Do you have tobacco?

Trading Post Missionary

We sure don't.

Nobody

Aren't those tins of tobacco right there behind you?

Trading Post Missionary

Sure are, but those cans are empty. There's no tobacco in them. Perhaps I could interest you in some beads...

What is your name?

My name is Nobody.

Excuse me?

My name is Exaybachay. He Who Talks Loud, Saying Nothing.

I preferred to be called Nobody.

[seeing William touching his chest wound]

Leave that alone stupid white man.

[as Nobody attends to his wound]

Am I going to die?

Nobody

The circle of life has no ending.

Why are you helping me?

Nobody

A bird told me.

A bird told you?

Nobody

A small magical bird with bright blue feathers. [pauses] I was following him in your forest, hoping to acquire one of his indigo feathers... and then I lost him... and then I found him again. He was perched on your chest tasting your blood. He looked at me. Then he flew directly west in a straight line - his small beak red with your blood.

[Nobody has put wounded William Blake in a canoe, and is about to push him out to sea]

Hello.

Nobody

I prepared your canoe with cedar boughs. It's time for you to leave now, William Blake. Time for you to go back where you came from.

You mean Cleveland?

Nobody

Back to the place where all the spirits came from, and where all the spirits return. This world will no longer concern you.

[shows Nobody a reel of tobacco]

Found some tobacco.

Nobody

That tobacco is for your voyage... William Blake.

Nobody... I don't smoke.
