Quotes 

• Cincinnatus : What time ya figure it is?

  Jeremy Cain : A little after midnight.

  Cincinnatus : [smiles broadly]  It's Christmas.

• Elisha Tully : Here it is near the end of December, and there'll be three more months of this frozen-over Hades. We'll never get through it.

  Jeremy Cain : A fine Christmas it's going to be!

  Cincinnatus : The Injuns get through it every year with a lot less than we have.

  Elisha Tully : Savages! They were born to this wasteland, this God-forsaken wilderness.

  Daniel Boone : Now, you claim to be a religious man, Elisha. You should know only a man can forsake himself.

  Elisha Tully : Those are mighty high sounding and respectful words, Boone, but words are not going to put food in our bellies.

  Daniel Boone : Well, you can't put hope in a frying pan, but that's gonna be our main staple for quite awhile.
