The Scalphunters Quotes:
Joe Bass:
If God ever made two greater inventions than a pretty woman and a bottle of whiskey, I ain't heard of it!

[walking behind Joe Bass and his horse] What about me, sir?

Joe Bass: You seem to have an uncommon prejudice against service to the white-skinned race!

Joseph Lee: No, sir.

Scalp hunters. The wickedest, crookedest trade to ever turn a dollar.
Joe Bass:
You mean you want to stay with these, with these heathens?
Jim Howie:
Go get yourself some clothes on! I don't want these men gettin' any horny notions!
