- Elizabeth Shields: Can I ask you something?
- Natty 'Hawkeye' Bumppo: Don't know how I can stop you.
- Elizabeth Shields: Why are you angry?
- Natty 'Hawkeye' Bumppo: This isn't how it was planned.
- Elizabeth Shields: So that's what this is about, that you were wrong about something?
- Natty 'Hawkeye' Bumppo: What it's about is that I should have learned to speak French.
- Elizabeth Shields: So you wouldn't have to haul me along with you?
- Natty 'Hawkeye' Bumppo: Exactly!
- Elizabeth Shields: Well I certainly never planned to be a part of this war.
- Natty 'Hawkeye' Bumppo: Neither did I.
- [after escaping from French soldiers, Chingachgook finally makes the rendezvous with Hawkeye and Elizabeth]
- Natty 'Hawkeye' Bumppo: And where in the Creator's name have you been?
- [goes to take supplies from Chingachgook]
- Chingachgook: [holds them out of Hawkeye's reach and prompts him for a thank-you] "Thank you for saving our lives, Chingachgook."
- Elizabeth Shields: [still out of breath from running] Thank you for saving our lives, Chingachkook.
- Chingachgook: [hands supplies over to Hawkeye and smiles at her] My pleasure, Mrs. Shields.
- [shoots Hawkeye an annoyed look]
- [distracting French soldiers to get their cannon]
- Elizabeth Shields: [in French] Gentlemen! Do not drink the water. It's not good. There are... four dead soldiers upstream. The water is bad!
- [the ploy works and the soldiers empty their canteens]
