• [Velma and Lucy drop Thomas and Victor at the bus station] 

  Velma : You guys got your passports?

  Thomas Builds-the-Fire : Passports?

  Velma : Yeah, you're leavin' the rez and goin' into a whole different country, cousin.

  Thomas Builds-the-Fire : But... but, it's the United States.

  Lucy : Damn right it is! That's as foreign as it gets. Hope you two have your vaccinations.

  [All laugh] 

• [Thomas concludes his story he is trading for a ride] 

  Thomas Builds-the-Fire : Arnold got arrested, you know. But he got lucky. They charged him with attempted murder. Then they plea-bargained that down to assault with a deadly weapon. Then they plea-bargained that down to being an Indian in the Twentieth Century. Then he got two years in Walla Walla.

  Lucy : [to Velma]  What do you think?

  Velma : I think it's a fine example of the oral tradition.

  [laughs] 

• [Thomas and Victor try to hitch a ride with Velma and Lucy]

  Velma : What are goin' to trade for it. We're Indians, remember. We barter!

  Thomas Builds-the-Fire : A story?

  Lucy : Better be good.
