The Thanksgiving Story (1965)

John McIntire: Timothy Patrick Bryan

Quotes 

• Israel Boone : [to his grandfather, bedecked in Indian buckskins]  You mean those are Gabriel's clothes?

  Timothy Patrick Bryan : The very same. Presented to me by himself as a token of esteem and everlasting friendship. "Timothy," he says, "if there's one race in the world that's likely to whup the Indians - it's the Irish. So let there be everlasting peace between us."

  Israel Boone : He said that to you?

  Timothy Patrick Bryan : He said that.

• First Man : [Mockingly]  Well, "Grandpa," since you're such a good friend of Gabriel's, you can do this settlement a favor. Why don't you just drop in on those Choctaws and invite them over for Thanksgiving?

  Timothy Patrick Bryan : Well, I might just do that.

• Timothy Patrick Bryan : Ah, Gabriel. I've walked many a mile to find you. And you know why? I came to invite you to a banquet, a feast in honor of this holiday of ours, this Thanksgiving. We want you all to come and break bread with us.

  Gabriel : In Boonesborough?

  Timothy Patrick Bryan : Aye. You'll all be more than welcome!

  Gabriel : [Chuckling malevolently]  We go to Boonesborough.

  Timothy Patrick Bryan : Good.

  Gabriel : But not to make feast. To make war! Our medicine man Grey Cloud here says our medicine is good. Our magic is strong. Today we attack!

• Israel Boone : Gabriel didn't really give you those clothes, did he, Grandpa?

  Timothy Patrick Bryan : Well, it was a half-truth, lad. They were given to me by a man named Gabriel. Gabriel Schwartz. He owns a second-hand store in Philadelphia.
