"Senator Judd: Let your people pull themselves up by their bootstraps and join the future, like the rest of us have. Douglas Johnston: I assure you, sir, my people do not need lessons in hard work, grit or making a living off the land."

"Bertie Thompson: Take this here basket on up to the Brewster's place. Te Ata Thompson Fisher: How come I have to go? Bertie Thompson: Because they got eight mouths to feed and they as poor as church mice. That's why. Te Ata Thompson Fisher: Well, if they have eight mouths, then seems to me like they have 16 feet."
