Quotes 

• Esther Spencer : Billy Two Hats? How did you get a name like that?

  Billy Two Hats : Well, my mother was a Kiowa and I don't know who my father was except he was white. My mother didn't know too much about him neither, except she told me he was kind of important. She said that in his room he had two hats - one for special and one for ordinary. That impressed my mother a whole lot. And when I was a kid it impressed me.

• Arch Deans : You remember, Billy... he asked me why I came back for you. Well, I don't know for sure. Except I been on my own for too long...

  Arch Deans : [pauses to reflect]  You know the Bible, Billy?

  Billy Two Hats : [Silently shakes his head] 

  Arch Deans : Well, there's a bit in it, from the Book of Ecclesiastes, that says 'Two are better than one because they have good reward for their labor. And if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him that is alone when he falleth, for he hath not another to help him up. And if one shall prevail against him, two shall withstand him.'

  Billy Two Hats : [Obviously impressed]  That's in a book?

  Arch Deans : Aye! That, and a LOT more, Billy.
