Frank Hopkins
- Frank T. Hopkins: Mister... you can say anything you want about me. I'm gonna have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way.
- Prince Bin Al Reeh: You will not defeat me. I am born of a great tribe, People of the Horse.
- Frank T. Hopkins: So am I.
- Aziz: You are most wise to tie your horse. Were he to cover an Arab mare,
- [...]
- Aziz: the foal would have to be destroyed before it touches the ground... as would the sire.
- Frank T. Hopkins: [to Hidalgo] You hear that? Keep your pride tucked.
- Frank T. Hopkins: Get out of here mister. Leave me be.
- Yusef: This is not possible...I was charged with the crime of stealing milk. As punishment I have been assigned to the American and his horse.
- Frank T. Hopkins: You're working for me?
- Yusef: It was this or be removed of my left hand. The future will tell if I have chosen poorly.
- Jazira: I do not know if you are a good as it is said, but I have faith in the painted stallion. It is said that you captured him in the wild.
- Frank T. Hopkins: Badlands. Long time ago.
- Jazira: How did you tame him?
- Frank T. Hopkins: I didn't.
- [the Sheik offers to shake Frank's hand]
- Frank T. Hopkins: What about your ability to tell the future?
- Sheik Riyadh: If I had the ability to foretell the future, perhaps I would have bet on a painted horse.
- Sheik Riyadh: [Frank offers his Colt to the Sheik] I lost the race, Frank Hopkins.
- Frank T. Hopkins: But you won a friend. It's a gift.
- Jazira: [without niqab] Why do I feel that you truly see me when others do not?
- Frank T. Hopkins: Well, my horse likes ya.
- Sheik Riyadh: And you, an impure unbeliever in the tent of a man who can trace his very blood back to Adam, you will be removed of your infidel self.
- Frank T. Hopkins: Removed of my what?
- Sheik Riyadh: Like a stallion not worthy of breeding.
- Frank T. Hopkins: I ain't too much of a gambler, sir.
- Sheik Riyadh: To the contrary. You are gambling with your very life in this great race.
- Jazira: I would know you only as a white man.
- Frank T. Hopkins: Maybe I got good at hiding my face, too.
- Frank T. Hopkins: Only fools or gamblers walk behind a stange mare, Sheikh! You can believe that.
- Sheik Riyadh: Is that a passage from the Bible?
- Preston Webb: Well, I didn't ride eleven-hundred miles to finish second place!
- Frank T. Hopkins: Why did you then?
- Jazira: The Indians of the West. You have seen their vanishing kind?
- Frank T. Hopkins: I am their kind.
- Frank T. Hopkins: Tell him to fetch more water.
- [Yusef yells at the slave boy in Arabic and sends him off with a kick]
- Frank T. Hopkins: Hey.
- [hands Yusef another bucket]
- Frank T. Hopkins: You, too.
- Yusef: Why do you buy this boy, anyway?
- Frank T. Hopkins: Someone has to do your work, goatherder!
- Frank T. Hopkins: A gift from above, not a plague.
- [picks up the dead locust and takes a bite]
- Frank T. Hopkins: Once you get past the legs, it ain't too bad.
- Aziz: What shall I tell his Excellency?
- Frank T. Hopkins: You can tell him pound sand for all I care.
