Ed Guyac Quotes in Jim Thorpe -- All-American (1951)

Ed Guyac: Well, how do you feel, Chief?

Little Boy Who Walk Like Bear: Bed soft. Make Little Boy soft. How do you like things?

Ed Guyac: If every Indian was as soft as you, the population of this country would still be in Rhode Island.

Ed Guyac: Hello.

Jim Thorpe: They sent me up here to bunk with you.

Ed Guyac: Sure, come on in. I'm Ed Guyac.

Jim Thorpe: Jim Thorpe.

Ed Guyac: This untamed aborigine here is Little Boy Who Walk Like Bear. Kind of a mouthful, so I just call him Little Boy.

Little Boy Who Walk Like Bear: How.

Ed Guyac: Not 'how'. What have I been teaching you?

Little Boy Who Walk Like Bear: [Little Boy stands up] Oh. Hi.

Ed Guyac: He's full-blooded Chippewa, his old man's chief. Nothing like bunking with royalty. Where are you from?

Jim Thorpe: Oklahoma, Sac and Fox.

Ed Guyac: I'm Mohawk, heap smart New York Injun. Study law, make plenty wampum, take mortgage off tepee. How about you?

Jim Thorpe: What about me?

Ed Guyac: What are you going to prepare for? You know: doctor, lawyer. Indian chief, rich man, poor man?

Jim Thorpe: I don't know.

Ed Guyac: Well, you've come to the right place to find out. This is your cot right here.

Jim Thorpe: Thanks.

Ed Guyac: Matter of fact, you can take this one if you like; Little Boy never uses it.

Little Boy Who Walk Like Bear: Bed too soft, make Little Boy soft.

Ed Guyac: 'Soft', listen to him. 220 pounds of skin and bone. These natives, I'll never get used to them.
