"From now on, your name is Billy!"
shareI just remember something about 'rancid bear grease.'
share"I'll eat your head, too, Rogers!"
"Now he's climbing a mountain."
Spencer Tracy to a starving Walter Brennen in the latter portion of the film - 'You look better now than when we started out.'

The reason why flies didn't bother Hunk Mariner (Walter Brennan). He said that the flies hate the stink worse than he does, and then offered some to Langdon Towne (Robert Young) who replied that he'd rather have the flies.
shareI always liked it when the crazy guy ran off and Tracy said "Maybe someday someone will find a body and hopefully be christian enough to give it a proper burial"
Or something like that.
Before that when Young asked "Just what did he have in that sack?" Spencer answers "The head of an abanacie indian" LOL However the indian name is spelled LOL Oh yeah... when the other men asked "hey what do you have in the sack ? " And he laughs and says "You arent hungry enough yet " LOL

Hunk Marriner: "I'd hate to be a man as right as you are, Major."
Major Rogers: "Right now, I'm not a man. I'm a soldier in command of men.
If you ever meet me when I'm just a man, you may have to
use some charity."
General Amherst speaking for my men and for myself. Those red hellions' up there have come down and hacked and murdered us. Burned our homes, stolen women, brained babies, scalped stragelers and rosted officers over slow fires for five years. If you were in our place, what would you do?
- that's the best line, they just don't write like that anylonger -

Stockbridge Indian Scout Kakapot: "(Moaning) Kakapot sick. Kakapot soooo sick".
Sgt. McNott in reply: "Of course you're sick. I never seen an Indian who needed a coat of paint as bad as you".
Hunk Mariner(Referring to Major Rogers after waking up hung over at Crown Point): "Is HE the one mixed that 'panther juice' ?"
Langdon Towne to Sgt. McNott:
"Rogers Rangers? They fight indians, mostly, don't they?"
Sgt. McNott in reply: "HAH!They do EVERYTHING, mostly!"
Hunk (As they prepare to cross the St. Francis River: "Haul boats over a mountain a panther couldn't climb. Now cross a river where a fish couldn't swim!"
Major Rogers: (Inspecting his decimated, dishelved, starving men at old Ft. Wentworth looks at Hunk: "Mariner, you look better than when we left".
Spencer Tracy had so many great lines in this movie. But often times Brennan was one step ahead of him. Like this one, when Rogers is talking to the men before the attack on Ft. Francis:
Major Rogers - The wind is in our favor: even the dogs can’t smell us.
Hunk Marriner - Lucky for the dogs.
“Take Major Danby out and shoot him.” — Catch-22
Rogers looking at Towne's drawings and goes "Konkapak...hmmm, I can smell him"
Also, "If those Mohawks had a pelt worth half that of a weasel I'd skin 'em"
