A scene from Jeremiah Johnson 1972
Jeremiah Johnson

Y'ever get lonesome?

Bear Claw Chris Lapp

Full time night woman? I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads. I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it. Now these coals will simmer till sunrise. You best go do likewise.

Bear Claw Chris Lapp

[Hours later, Jeremiah stirred out of the sack almost afire]

Didn't put enough dirt down. Saw it right off.
