Velma : You guys got your passports?
Thomas Builds-the-Fire : Passports?
Velma : Yeah, you're leavin' the rez and goin' into a whole different country, cousin.
Thomas Builds-the-Fire : But... but, it's the United States.
Lucy : Damn right it is! That's as foreign as it gets. Hope you two have your vaccinations.

[Thomas concludes his story he is trading for a ride]
Thomas Builds-the-Fire : Arnold got arrested, you know. But he got lucky. They charged him with attempted murder. Then they plea-bargained that down to assault with a deadly weapon. Then they plea-bargained that down to being an Indian in the Twentieth Century. Then he got two years in Walla Walla.
Lucy : [to Velma] What do you think?
Velma : I think it's a fine example of the oral tradition.
