Ned Romero: Old Native Man

Quotes 

• Old Native Man : [narrator]  And that's how it was for Charlie Silvercloud. A young man who had spent most of his life standing still, waiting for the earth to swallow him. But a man's character is often defined by how he lives his final moments. And in his final moments, Charlie made a decision. If he was gonna die - he was gonna die dancing.

• Old Native Man : When Creator created the Earth, he sent it spinning one thousand miles an hour. Ever wonder why? Because if he didn't, we'd all fall off. It's good to keep dancing...

• Old Native Man : You'll dance for me again, won't ya?

  Native Teen : [laughs]  No.

• Old Native Man : Angry, young teen, yeah. Off to the big city. I've seen it before.

  Native Teen : Crazy, old drunk, rotting on the reservation. Seen it before.

  Old Native Man : I was gonna tell you a story but now you've pissed me off.

• Old Native Man : The answer's not out there, you know? All our young men leave, the white world will just run us over.

  Native Teen : It's been happening for 200 years, nothing we can do about it.

  Old Native Man : Ha! The young man in my story had that same attitude. Too bad you won't hear the story.

  Native Teen : Promise!

  Old Native Man : I'm starting not to like you.

• Old Native Man : That milky, white truck brought that Indian down faster than you can say moo!
