Bridger Quotes in The Revenant (2015)

John Fitzgerald: You all right there kid? Your head in the right place?

Bridger: I guess... I can't help thinking about whether we did the right...

John Fitzgerald: No! Ain't our place to wonder. The good Lord got us on a road whether we choose it or not.

John Fitzgerald: My pop, he weren't a religious man, you know? If you couldn't grow it, kill it, or eat it, he just plain old didn't believe in it, that was it. And this one time he head on up the old Saba hills... San Saba hills? He joined a couple Texas Ranger buddies of his to hunt you know? pretty routine, he done it like a hundred times before, should have been a three-day kill but, on the second day, it all went fucked. Somehow that night he lost his buddies, and to top it off, them Comanches went and took the horses so, he was starving and delirious... and he crawls up into this mott, this... this group of trees out in the middle of nowhere just sticking up in this ocean of scrub and he found religion. At that moment he told me... he found God. And it turns out that God... He's a squirrel. Yea. A big, old meaty one. "I found God" he used to say. "And while sitting there and basking in the glory and sublimity of mercy... I shot and ate that son of a bitch".

John Fitzgerald: Yeah. You might want to close your eyes kid.

[Joshua has just met Anna in the market and returns to the car, where Bridger is waiting for his report]

Joshua Lazarus: Well, some vodka for me, and...

[teasing her]

Joshua Lazarus: ...for you, a laxative. Cherry flavor.

Bridger: [She's not amused] What did you get from the girl?

[Bridger - who's a woman - corners Joshua in the men's bathroom]

Bridger: [Referring to the "unknown scoper" whom Joshua knows is Anna] Who is it?

Joshua Lazarus: I don't know yet.

Bridger: Well, that's bullshit. I mean, you got a lousy poker face, Lazarus. You're lucky you can cheat.

Joshua Lazarus: You spend a lot of time here in the men's room. Is there something I should know?

Bridger: Hello, Lazarus. Oh, you look a little too conscious for my liking. It's amazing how these drugs keep you mind-reading freaks talking, even when you're semi-comatose.

Joshua Lazarus: What'd I get?

Bridger: Hmm? Oh, you're more coherent when you're conscious, but then, of course, you're much less cooperative.
