Quotes 

• Joe Leaphorn : One night, when I was a kid, my Father took me outta bed and took me to the car. We drove to town, parked in front of some building. He didn't say why, he just said "watch." Turns out it was a bar. So, all night I watched them stumble out, men I knew and respected. I watched them fall to the sidewalk. If I had just one wish, it would be to get rid of booze. No more scotch, no more whiskey, gin, vodka. Nothing that would make a man beat his friend with a hammer.

• Janet Pete : I'm worried about your friend.

  Joe Leaphorn : Who's that?

  Janet Pete : How many do you have?

  Joe Leaphorn : The few and the proud!

• Joe Leaphorn : Nothing happens by chance.

  Janet Pete : That's not very Navajo.

  Joe Leaphorn : No, that's me.

• Joe Leaphorn : You need a wife.

  Jim Chee : Well, if you're offering Emma, I accept.

  Joe Leaphorn : No, to keep you sane.

  Jim Chee : You could've just called to tell me that.

• Emma Leaphorn : It's all about perspective, honey.

  Joe Leaphorn : What?

  Emma Leaphorn : You look at the world one way and it's filled with hatred, right? You look at it another, the same world's filled with love, passion. Same worlds, it's only the perspective that's changed.

• Joe Leaphorn : You know, sometimes, I don't think we solve anything. We just rearrange the mystery.
