# My mother was a Baptist, boys
# My father was a Jew
# At the battle of Waterloo
# Don't ever kiss a Hindu, boys
# Unless you are engaged
# True love is never found with girls
# Who dance upon the stage
# Andy Jackson saw a bear
# And chased him up a tree
# A hound dog would have caught the fox
# If he hadn't stopped to...
# My mother was a Baptist, boys
# My father was a Jew
# At the battle of Waterloo
Hello, Two Crows.
Like hell we will.
Damn your eyes,
I spent all winter getting them furs.
And they're not for trade here.
What the hell do I want with him?
I don't care how you got him.
Wait a minute. I know he's brave as
a buffalo. You don't have to slice him up.
I don't want him.
You're all right, Two Crows.
You'd be captain of the steamboat
and president of the bank.
Just cos you own this damn country.
What are you standing there for?
Can't you speak English?
- No, sir.
- What do you mean, "No, sir"?
I mean I wish I didn't.
Come over here.
Turn around.
You sure don't look like you're worth
No, sir, I'm not.
In fact, sir, I'm not worth anything.
- What's your name?
Formerly of the Comanche tribe,
until stolen by the Kiowas.
- You're far from home. You run away?
- As the spirits directed me, sir.
You don't talk like a field slave.
You kill anybody when you ran off?
No, sir. That's contrary to the law.
You think what those Indians did to me
was the law?
- Just cos I'm trespassing?
- No, sir.
Let the buyer beware.
- I've heard that said.
- Where'd you learn them wise remarks?
I was privileged to associate with one of
the best-educated families in Louisiana.
- I can read, write and cipher.
- Don't brag on it.
- Pick up that bag. Let's go.
- Where to?
To get my furs back.
Where the hell do you think?
Can I ask you a question, sir? How
do you plan to fight all those Kiowas?
By natural application of superior tactics,
Massachusetts wit, and left-handed skill.
Oh. You're gonna shoot 'em, sir.
Hell, no.
There's a cask of trade rum in that pack.
Them Indians'll have a drunk party
and I'll get back my packhorse and furs.
- What about me, sir?
- I'll sell you to the highest bidder.
Could you make that to a Comanche?
You seem to have a prejudice
against serving the white race.
I don't mean to be narrow in my attitude.
Could I ask you what's your name, sir?
Joe Bass.
Well, Mr Bass, couldn't you kinda
consider me a captured Comanche?
I came on foot as far as the Comanches.
It was my intention
The Mexicans have a law against slavery.
And since those Indians captured me from
Indians, I now have full Indian citizenship.
- Joseph Lee, you ever study the law?
- No, sir.
Neither did I. But you ain't got a chance
in hell of calling yourself an Indian.
You're African.
Slave by employment, black by colour.
You ain't gonna walk good enough
to catch them Kiowas.
- I guess I'm a failure as a packhorse, sir.
- A man don't ever say quit, Joseph Lee.
No, sir. He doesn't.
Hand me that bag.
Crab onto her tail.
See the superiority of the white-skinned
race when it comes to walking.
My ancestors were famous as liars,
walkers and patriots. Are you patriotic?
Yes, sir. Fourth of July
I generally set up quite a holler.
Of course, if someone came along now
- You're riding, I'm walking.
- But that's not the case.
In a manner of speaking, you are
