  • (Graham Greene) "How many?"
  • (John Dunbar) "Like the stars."
  • (Graham Greene) "He may be a special man or even a god. I ask that Chief Ten Bears give us permission to talk with him."
  • (Rodney A. Grant) "I do not care for this talk about a white man at the soldier fort. Whoever he is he is not a Sioux and that makes him less. We took more then a hundred horses from these people and there was no honor in it. They don't ride well. They don't shoot well. They're dirty. Those so-called "soldiers" could not make it through one winter in our country. And all these people are said to flourish? I think they will all be dead soon -- maybe in ten years."
  • (Rodney A. Grant) "I think this fool is probally lost."
  • (Graham Greene) "Wind In His Hair has spoken and his words are strong. It is true that the whites are a poor race and it is hard to understand them. But make no mistake, the whites are coming. Even our enemies agree on this. But when I see one white man alone and without fear in our country, I do not think he is lost. I think he may have medicine. I think this is a man who will speak for all white people. I think this is a man from which treaties may be struck."
  • (Rodney A. Grant) "Kicking Bird is always looking ahead and while that is good, he doesn't know this lone white man. This white man cannot hunt, cover our lodges, or feed our children. He is nothing to us. I will take some warriors with me and we will shoot some arrows into the white man. If he truly has medicine, he will not be hurt. If he has no medicine, he will be dead."
  • (Jimmy Herman) "No man on the council can tell another man what to do. But killing a white man is a delicate business. If you kill one, more are sure to come."
  • (Floyd Red Crow Westerman) "It's easy to become confused by these questions. Before we take action we need to talk about this some more at another time. That is all I have to say. This council is dismissed."

  • (Mary McDonnell) "My place is with you. I go where you go."
  • (Mary McDonnell) "He thanks Dances with Wolves for coming."
  • (John Dunbar) "Who is Dances with Wolves?"
  • (Mary McDonnell) "It is the name all the people are calling you now."

Charles Rocket as Lt. Elgin

Tom Everett as Sergeant Pepper

(We don't have any quotes for this character)

Floyd Red Crow Westerman as Ten Bears

  • (Floyd Red Crow Westerman) "Let us smoke a while."
  • (John Dunbar) "With Ten Bears, it was always more than a while. There was purpose in everything he did, and I knew he wanted me to stay. But I was sure of myself. I would be an excuse, and that's all the Army would need to find this place. I pushed him as far as I could to move the camp. But in the end, he only smiled and talked of simple pleasures. He reminded me that at his age, a good fire was better than anything. Ten Bears was an extraordinary man."
  • (Floyd Red Crow Westerman) "Dances with Wolves has been quiet these past few days. Is his heart bad?"
  • (John Dunbar) "Killing those soldiers at the river was a good thing. I never got to thank all of you for saving me. I did not mind killing those men. I was glad to do it. But now I know that the soldiers hate me like they hate no other. Because I killed soldiers, men of my own race, they think I am a traitor."
  • (John Dunbar) "And now they will hunt for me. And when they find me they will find you. I think it would be wise to move the village to another location right now. As for me -- I will be leaving. I will be leaving with my wife Stands With a Fist as soon as possible. I must go and try to talk to those that will listen."
  • (Floyd Red Crow Westerman) "Quiet. You are all hurting my ears. Leave us."
  • (Floyd Red Crow Westerman) "You are the only white man I have ever known. I have thought about you a lot. More than you think. And I understand your concern. But I think you are wrong. The white man the soldiers are looking for no longer exists. Now there is only a Sioux named Dances with Wolves."

Wes Studi as Pawnee #1

  • (Wes Studi) "We have nothing to show for this trail."
  • (Wes Studi) "We have no rifles. White men are sure to have rifles."
  • (Wes Studi) "If they don't have rifles, it's hard to say how many might be down there. We should forget this and go home."
  • (Wes Studi) "Then go. I would rather die than argue to any white man about a single line of smoke in my own country."
  • (Wes Studi) "He will not quit until we are all dead."
