:20:00
Means more than just that.
Indian words mean the sound and...

:20:04
feel of a word, like...
:20:07
crack of dawn, the first bronze light...
:20:10
that makes the buttes stand out
against the gray desert.

:20:14
The first sound you hear of a brook...
:20:16
curling over some rocks, with trout jumping.
:20:20
It's like when you get up in the first light...
:20:23
just you and her and you go out of
a wickiup.

:20:28
Where it smells kind of smoky and private,
just you and her, and...

:20:34
kind of safe with just the two of you.
:20:37
Stand outside and...
:20:39
feel the bite of the first wind
coming down from the high divide...

:20:43
that promises snowfall.
:20:47
Can't say it in English,
but that was her name.

:20:52
Destarte.
:20:55
- You remind me of her some.
- Of an Indian girl?

:20:59
Was she fair?
:21:01
Her hair was black as 10 feet down.
:21:04
Did you ever see a crow's wing,
how black and gleaming it is?

:21:07
- Yes.
- That's the way her hair shined.

:21:11
I'd like to pay you for that rope.
:21:12
Riding dispatch,
I have the right to give U.S. script.

:21:16
- You loved her?
- I don't know.

:21:20
I needed her.
:21:26
- But if she was dark and I'm fair...
- Why you reminded me of her?

:21:30
- Yes.
- I don't know.

:21:32
I thought about it.
You don't look anything like her.

:21:36
I am fully aware
that I am a homely woman, Mr. Lane.

:21:39
I didn't mean that.
:21:40
I have a bad habit of telling the truth.
But being pretty isn't much.

:21:44
I know a lot of pretty people
I wouldn't trust...

:21:46
with a busted nickel-plated watch.
:21:48
But some others, something comes out of
the inside of them and...

:21:52
you know you can trust them.
:21:54
Destarte had that.
:21:57
And you've got it, too.
