Quotes 

• Thunder Jack : I can't believe you actually bit that dog on the ear.

  Ted : But that's what everyone says you're supposed to do.

  Thunder Jack : Well, sure, but... I never met a man dumb enough to do it!

• Thunder Jack : The dogs, where are they?

  Ted : They're eating the house.

• Thunder Jack : You know, I've always believed that a man who don't tell it like it is, is a liar.

• Thunder Jack : Well, well lookie here. Come to sell me them dogs.

  Ted : [all disappointed]  You? Your James Johnson?

  Thunder Jack : I don't much like people calling me James.

  Ted : What...

  [Gasps] 

  Ted : You're white.

  [chuckles] 

  Thunder Jack : [takes glove off; sarcastically]  Will you look at that!

  Ted : Do you know who I am?

  Thunder Jack : Yeah. You're the fella that's going to sell me those dogs.

  Ted : No. I'm your son.

  Thunder Jack : Well, so, how much you want for them?

  Ted : You knew? You knew the whole time, and you didn't say anything?

  Thunder Jack : I don't see any good coming from dredging up ancient history.

  Ted : Is that what I am? Ancient history?

  Thunder Jack : I tell you what I'm going to do. I can go up to $300 for the lot.

  Ted : The dogs? Don't you think of anything else?

  Thunder Jack : You got no business with them. I mean, they're special animals. They need to be taken care of.

  Ted : You're a real piece of work. You know I don't believe we're related. There must be some mistake because you are definitely not my father!

  Thunder Jack : [cracks neck]  Well, tell you the truth, I don't give much a hoot one way or the other. All I'm saying is that you don't belong here. I'm sure you've got a nice, little condominium someplace with a remote control, color tv, and a nice electric blanket. So, why don't you pack up your big city butt and go back there.

  Ted : No. I'm not going anywhere.

  Thunder Jack : You are a stubborn fool.

  Ted : No, you're the stubborn fool!

  Thunder Jack : You must have something wrong with that head.

  Ted : No, you got something wrong with your head!

  Thunder Jack : No, you got something wrong with your head!

  Ted : No, you got something wrong in your head!

  Thunder Jack : [laughing]  No, you got something wrong with your head.

  Ted : Oh, well, you know what they say. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree", Jack. Or should I call you Father? Or how about Papa? Or maybe even Daddy-O.

  [laughs; Jack punches him he spins around wimpers and falls on the ice]
