Quotes 

• Spirit : We cry for those that we lost.

  [Animated crying] 

  Spirit : Like that. We mourn them. We cut our hair. We cut ourselves. We go through all the feels. We take our relatives, their bodies, and we make clothing out of it. This is my auntie right here. We brush their faces on t-shirts. We get their names tattooed on our bodies in Old English script. We tear ourselves to pieces, so that we can build ourselves anew on the other side. You go through all of it, so that they know that they can go. That we'll miss them, but that we'll be okay without them.

• Spirit : And look at you! All grown up and got a job and shit? Whoo-oo!

  Bear Smallhill : Yeah, but... this is bullshit. I don't even know what I'm doing, and I almost fell off the roof. It's like, they don't even teach you anything. Just expect you to know.

  Spirit : Yeah. That's the Native way of teaching. We have this, uh, traditional pedagogy of, uh, "just get out there and learn, fucker."
