Bill
[edit]- [first lines; examining bear tracks] That's a huge male; bet he's more'n fifteen hundred pounds.
- You see, I don't like to ask folks questions; everyone has a secret side. By God, that's the way it should be.
Tom
[edit]- [speaks to the bear cub] I... Tom.
- [last lines; shooing the bear cub away] Good luck, little fella.
Dialogue
[edit]- Bill: [after a botched attempt by Tom to kill the bear] You spooked it, son. You spooked it.
- Tom: My gun jammed!
- Bill: [Tom tries to spot the bear with his binoculars] You're not even close to see him again, not even with them glasses. Take it from me, give up. He's miles away by now. Believe me.
