Cory Lambert: I'd like to tell you it gets easier. it doesn't. If there's any... comfort, it's... getting used to the pain, I suppose. Went to a grief seminar in Casper. Did you know that? I don't know why. Just wanted the bad to go away. Wanted answers... to questions that couldn't be answered. The counselor come up to me after the seminar and sat down next to me. And he said

something that stuck with me. I don't know if it's what he said, or how he said it. He says, "I got some good news, and I got some bad news. Bad news is you're never gonna be the same. You're never gonna be whole, not ever again. You lost your daughter. Nothing's ever going to replace that. Now the good news is, as soon as you accept that, and you let yourself suffer... you allow yourself to visit

her in your mind, and you'll remember all the love she gave you, all the joy she knew." Point is, Martin, you can't steer from the pain. If you do, you'll rob yourself... You'll rob yourself of every memory of her. Every last one. From her first step to her last smile. Kill 'em all. Just take the pain, Martin. You hear me? You take it. It's the only way you'll keep her with you.

Chip: Man, I get so mad. I wanna fight the whole world. You got any idea what that feels like?
Cory Lambert: I do. But I decided to fight the feeling instead, 'cause I figured the world would win.

Cory Lambert: Wolves don't kill unlucky deer. They kill the weak ones. You fought for your life, Jane. And now you get to walk away with it.

Martin: How did he go out?
Cory Lambert: With a whimper.

Natalie: [narrating] There is a meadow in my perfect world. Where wind dances the branches of the tree, casting leopards spots of light across the face of pond. The tree stands tall, and grand, and alone, shading the world beneath it.
Natalie: [girl running frantically] It's here, in the cradle of all I hold dear.
[she falls]

Natalie: I guard every memory of you. And when I find myself frozen in the mud of the real... far from your loving eyes, I will return to this place, close mine, and take solace in the simple perfection of knowing you.

Martin: You're driving this Fed around so she don't get lost, is that it?
Cory Lambert: It's what they asked me to do, not what I'm doin'.
Martin: Then what are you doing?
Cory Lambert: I'm a hunter, Martin. What do you think I'm doin'?
Martin: If you find out who did this... I don't

care who it is. You understand me?
Cory Lambert: [nods] Right where they stand.
Martin: Then get off my porch and go do it.

Jane Banner: How far do you think someone can run barefoot out here?
Cory Lambert: Oh, I don't know. How to gauge someone's will to live? Especially in these conditions. But I knew that girl. She was a fighter. So no matter how far you think she ran... I can guarantee you she ran farther.

Cory Lambert: You gonna lecture me about protecting people when you do the shit that's killing 'em? Unlike most people you had every chance to get the hell out of here if that's what you wanted. You had the army, you had college, whatever, that was your choice. Look what you chose!
[points towards the drug house]
Cory Lambert: Look what you chose.

God damn you.

Chip: I didn't do shit.
Cory Lambert: All you've been doin' is shit for the last few years, Chip.
Chip: It's this place, man, what it takes from us. What it took from you.
Cory Lambert: I'm not gonna stand here and tell you that life's fair, 'cause it ain't. To either of us. But, you know, what do we do? This

land, this land is all we got left.
Chip: What's this *we* shit? The only thing native about you is your ex-wife and the daughter you couldn't protect. Maybe if you'd played detective...
Cory Lambert: [Cory grabs Chip and violently slams him against the wall] That's not something it's good to talk about. You hear me?
