:34:01
If he wasn't
saying it, I am.
:34:03
Right. That lady
speaks right up, don't she?
:34:07
Mm-hmm.
:34:08
If you want to know
if I'm carrying a gun, I'm not.
:34:12
My tongue is my only
weapon, Mr. Grimes.
:34:15
And it's deadly.
:34:26
I've lived among the Apaches
on a reservation...
:34:29
the women grinding corn
and rubbing skins,
:34:33
the men almost naked...
:34:35
some of them quite striking.
:34:36
Just when you begin to
find them almost beautiful,
:34:39
they squat
and pick at themselves
:34:41
with the dogs
:34:42
sniffing at them.
:34:43
I can't imagine
eating a dog
:34:46
and not thinking
anything of it.
:34:48
You ever been
hungry, lady?
:34:50
Not just ready for supper,
:34:52
but hungry enough
so that your belly swells up?
:34:56
I wouldn't care
how hungry I got.
:34:58
I know I wouldn't eat
one of those camp dogs.
:35:00
You'd eat it. You'd fight
for the bones too.
:35:04
Have you ever
eaten a dog, Mr. Russell?
:35:06
Eaten one
and lived like one.
:35:09
Dear me.
:35:17
Mr. Russell
obviously feels sympathy
:35:19
for the Indians' plight.
:35:21
If you're a humane man,
you do.
:35:24
But you have to live on
a reservation like San Carlos
:35:28
to see that caring for them
:35:30
is not a simple matter
of giving them food and clothing.
:35:32
My name is Favor,
by the way.
:35:34
I happen to be
the Indian agent at San Carlos.
:35:37
As the agent,
I see all the problems
:35:40
the Interior Department
is faced with...
:35:42
natural resentment
on the part of the Indians,
:35:45
their distrust,
:35:46
their reluctance to
cultivate the soil.
:35:48
They live where
they don't want to live.
:35:51
That too, which can't
be helped for the time being.
:35:55
Do you happen to know
someone at San Carlos?
:35:59
Most of them.
