Little Big Man Page #8

---

Don't try to tell me

my business.

Make breast-works, men!

Show them no mercy!

I said, give them a volley!

We're running out of ammunition,

General.

Right!

Now, we are running

out of ammunition.

I told him

this would happen.

But he just sat there...

in the White House

and laughed at me!

That damn Cossack.

This is horrible...

We're being wiped out!

For Christian America...

Let your arrows fly, savages!

I am unbowed!

Mr. President...

Distinguished visitors...

honored members of the Senate!

Taking the Indian

as we find him,

- waiting...

- Oh, why don't you shut up?

Mr. President, you are drunk.

We can't have a man like you

in the White House!

Get on your feet

and face the enemy!

Go away, General.

All right.

The sentence is death.

All right...

then you know you and I

are even at last.

I paid you the life I owe you.

And the next time we meet,

I can kill you

without becoming an evil person.

He goes to dance his joy.

Grandfather.

I am glad to see you.

Glad to see you,

too, my son.

My heart soars like a hawk.

Do you want to eat?

I won't eat with you,

because I'm going to die soon.

Die, Grandfather?

Yes, my son.

I want to die

in my own land

where Human Beings

are buried in the sky.

Well, why do you

want to die, Grandfather?

Because there's no other way

to deal with the white man,

my son.

Whatever else

you can say about them

it must be admitted:

You cannot get rid of them.

No, I suppose not, Grandfather.

There is an endless supply

of white man

but there always has been

a limited number

of Human Beings.

We won today.

We won't win tomorrow.

Snake Woman, get me

my Elk burial robe.

Come, my son.

We will go.

It makes my heart sad.

A world without Human Beings

has no center to it.

Go where, Grandfather?

To the mountain.

To the top.

Come out and fight!

It is a good day to die!

Thank you for making me

a Human Being!

Thank you for helping me

to become a warrior.

Thank you for my victories...

and for my defeats.

Thank you for my vision...

and the blindness

in which I saw further.

You make all things

and direct them in their ways,

oh, Grandfather.

And now, you have

to silence the Human Beings!

We'll soon walk a road...

...that leads nowhere.

I am going to die now,

unless death wants to fight.

And I ask you for the last time

to grant me my old power

to make things happen.

Take care of my son, here.

See that he doesn't go crazy.

Grandfather?

Am I still in this world?

Yes, Grandfather.

I was afraid of that.

Well, sometimes the magic works,

sometimes it doesn't.

Let's go back to the tepee

and eat, my son.

My newest snake wife

cooks dog very well.

All right, Grandfather.

She also has

a very soft skin.

The only trouble

with snake women

is they copulate with horses,

which makes them strange to me.

She says she doesn't,

that's why I call her

"Doesn't Like Horses. "

But of course, she's lying.

Of course, Grandfather.

Well, that's the story

of this old Indian fighter.

That's the story

of the Human Beings,

who was promised land where they

could live in... peace.

Land that would be theirs...

as long as grass grow...

wind blow...

and the sky is blue.

Mr. Crabb, I didn't know...

Get out, get out.
