The closer

I'll hold you

Though the world

may take me

From a world for two

Though you may

forsake me

I'll still belong

To you

MR. MORGAN:
Sally. Sally!

Sally, please come back.

Sally.

(GUN FIRES)

Why, Wanenis,

I didn't know that was you.

I thought it was some

skunk prowling around.

You know,

you can't be too careful at a time like this.

(BLACK EAGLE MOANS)

I suppose you came back

to see me marry Sally?

If you'd like to take

another shot at me,

give me a gun,

and we'll shoot

it out together.

I don't fight

with Indians.

I don't want you hanging

around here anymore,

and neither

does Sally.

Savvy?

Listen, fellas.

If you see him or anyone else

trying to go up that ladder again,

next time...

Better you come

now, huh?

Come, Wanenis. Come.

Miss Custer! Oh, Miss Custer!

Miss Custer! Miss Custer!

Where is that woman?

Where is that nurse? Miss...

Wanenis!

Hello, Henry.

How are you?

Hello, Black Eagle.

I'm glad

to see you.

Yeah, me too.

I haven't seen you in a long time.

That's right.

How's your health?

I'm sorry you asked.

Last week,

I looked so terrible,

two undertakers left

a deposit on me.

And say, what's happened to you?

What's the matter?

It's nothing, Henry.

Just a scratch.

I'm in a little

trouble.

Yeah, you're in

a little trouble.

All you've got is a

scratch. Look at me.

I've got five

dangerous ailments,

with hardly

a chance of recovering.

And, oh, look where

cactus is growing.

(GROANS)

Henry, I'm in love.

That's hard luck, too.

Last week, I bought a suit

with two pairs of pants

and burned a hole

in the coat.

But I've lost the

girl that I love,

and my heart is

very heavy today.

Your heart is heavy?

My heart is five times

the normal size.

But you don't

understand.

This girl and I

grew up together.

I am an Indian!

(MOANS)

He suffers from gas, too.

Isn't it terrible?

Why, Henry, a way back,

my people were chiefs.

(MOANS)

Why don't you try

bicarbonate of soda?

You'll be a new

Indian, really.

But I'm only a

small part Indian.

How small?

Well,

my great-grandfather married a white girl.

So did mine.

What is that?

Did you know that

I'm a half-breed?

Are you a half-breed?

Sure. I breathe through

one side of my nose.

Sinus.

For this girl that I love,

I've studied the ways of your race.

Why, I've gone

to your schools.

An Indian in a Hebrew school!

How... Oh, for heaven...

(GROANING)

How did you

get along?

About since I

was that high,

I've striven to be something

among your people.

I know. We all have

our disappointments.

From the time I

was this high...

That's even lower than

yours. See that?

I figured out someday I

might be a great aviator
