Now, don't tell me

I pulled you and that
Mississippi boy
out of that tight
spot with the Kiowa.

Had himself a sazerac
one time at the St. Charles Hotel.
- Bohannon?
- That's right.
With the Union Pacific Railroad.
I see him covered in flame.
That's right.
Now, that was back with the Kiowa.
Bohannon say
he freed the slaves,
but he ain't free 'em.
Boy, what's infecting you now?
I don't know... I don't know.
Now, hold on there, sourpuss.
Let's you and me
figure this out together.
This here's old Porcupine.
He's my father-in-law.
I come here to warn him
about some bluecoats
I come across about
half day's ride south of here.
They on the warpath looking
for that white woman.
She mine.
No, she ain't yourn.
Marked up white woman mine.
Mr. Lincoln may have
outlawed slavery in the South,
but these Comanche ain't never
heard his proclamation.
That white woman
is White Feather's.
She worth more
than neither of us has on us.
She worth three blankets
and a horse.
That's what she say.
This on... she is worth twice
that and a box of rocks.
White Feather
earned her in battle.
- He earned her in battle.
- Mmmmm.
Do you know what they call you?
Pah Duh Wuh Toh Kweh Nuh.
Do you know what that means?
"Bear Killer."
Pah Duh Wuh Toh Kweh Nuh.
These Comanche believe
any man who killed a bear
takes up all her power and magic
and can't be defeated in battle.
If I know these braves,
they fixing to ride
on that cavalry tonight,
and they're gonna want
Bear Killer
and all his magic with 'em.
They think you can't
be killed, but I know better.
Fact is, you gonna fill up full of bullets
faster than any of 'em
on account of you only got one good eye.
And that white woman
is White Feathefs.
You got a woman and a baby girl
back in Cheyenne.
Her eyes worth a hundred horses.
We got to get you back there
before you lose
what's left of you.
This is a war ceremony,
and these braves

It's best we go
before they realize you gone.
