• Bill : You see, I don't like to ask folks questions; everyone has a secret side. By God, that's the way it should be.

• [first lines] 

  Bill : [examining bear tracks]  That's a huge male; bet he's more'n fifteen hundred pounds.

• [Angered by the death and maiming of their horses and mule by the Kodiak bear in retaliation for being shot by his companion Tom, Bill is filled with vengeance] 

  Bill : I swear it I'll kill you!

• Bill : [after a botched attempt by Tom to kill the bear]  You spooked it, son. You spooked it.

  Tom : My gun jammed!

  Bill : [Tom tries to spot the bear with his binoculars]  You're not even close to see him again, not even with them glasses. Take it from me, give up. He's miles away by now. Believe me.
