Tristan: Miss Finncannon. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you and ugly here find every happiness together.
Young Isabel Two: You're going to marry Samuel.
Susannah: That's right.
Young Isabel Two: I'm going to marry Tristan.
Susannah: Then we'll be sisters.
Colonel Ludlow: There will be no more talk of wars in this house, DAMN IT!
Young Isabel Two: Tristan calls me a half breed.
Colonel Ludlow: Tristan calls you a half breed!
Young Isabel Two: He says I'm half gopher and half hawk.
Samuel: Tristan! Get back to your unit!
Tristan: Those boys are boring. I'd rather have you watching my back.
Canadian Soldier: MacKenzie was just brought in, his leg's turned bad. He said...
Tristan: What?
Alfred: He said what? Go on man, what is it?
Canadian Soldier: He said your brother, he volunteered to take his place and go over on the reconnaissance.
Alfred: [to Tristan] God damn it! I told you to stay with him!
Tristan: Alfred's going to do well wherever he is.
Colonel Ludlow: Except here with us.
Tristan: That's my fault.
Colonel Ludlow: I didn't say that.
Tristan: I couldn't bring Samuel back home alive either, could I?
Colonel Ludlow: Don't you dare say that boy! That was in God's hands.
Tristan: Was it?
One Stab: It is hard to tell of happiness. Time goes by and we feel safe too soon.
[Alfred's letter to Tristan]
Alfred: You have won her. I am bringing her home.
Alfred: Please excuse my father. It makes him feel young and powerful to treat us like idiot children.
Alfred: Don't mind my brother. Your dog has more breeding than he has.
Tristan: Because you love her, I will forgive that, ONCE! Say that again, and you are no longer my brother.
Alfred: When are you planning to be married?
Tristan: Morning.
Alfred: Damn you, Tristan. You will marry her.
Tristan: And make a honest woman out of her?
Alfred: Yes! God damn you to hell.
Tristan: Yes, I will marry her if she'll have me.
Alfred: If she'll have you? Do you love her? Or did you seduce her just to spite me?
Tristan: It's not what I did.
Alfred: And what about Samuel?
Tristan: What about Samuel?
Alfred: You tell me about Samuel.
Tristan: We all loved Samuel. Samuel's dead. What?
Alfred: How convenient that is for you.
Tristan: Because you love her I will forgive you for that. Once! You say that again and we're not brothers.
One Stab: She was like the water that freezes inside a rock and breaks it apart. It was no more her fault than it is the fault of the water when the rock shatters.
Colonel Ludlow: Samuel chose to be a soldier and soldiers die! Sent to their slaughter by men in governments! Parasites like you!
