Top 20 Quotes From Cory Lambert

Cory: Luck don't live out here.

Jane: She ran six miles in the snow.
Cory: Yes, she did.

Cory: The storm will be back.
Jane: That's something to look forward to.

Jane: How far do you think someone can run barefoot out here?
Cory: 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: 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.

Jane: What do you think?
Cory: I only know what the tracks say.

Martin: Heard about what happened. Heard there's one still missing.
Cory: No. No one's missing.
Martin: How did he go out?
Cory: With a whimper.

Cory: You don't catch wolves looking where they might be, you look where they've been.

Cory: You better go easy on Chip.
Cory: Sufferings hard on young men, they don't have our practice.

Martin: You're driving this Fed around so she don't get lost, is that it?
Cory: It's what they asked me to do, not what I'm doin'.
Martin: Then what are you doing?
Cory: 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: [nods] Right where they stand.
Martin: Then get off my porch and go do it.

Casey: Sorry, dad.
Cory: Hey, what's the rule, bud, okay? A gun's always loaded, even if it ain't. Right?
Casey: Yes.

Cory: I do. But I decided to fight the feeling instead, 'cause I figured the world would win.

Cory: Suffering's hard on young men. They don't got our practice.

Cory: 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: [Cory grabs Chip and violently slams him against the wall] That's not something it's good to talk about. You hear me?

Cory: You know, we tried to be very careful with Emily. Tried to plan for everything. She was such a good girl. But we let our guard down. And why would I tell you? You may have kids one day. You cannot blink. Not once, not ever.

Casey: [on his sister's friend] Did she die like Emily?
Cory: She died from the cold.
Casey: So just like Emily then.

Wilma: You okay?
Cory: Been better.
Wilma: It brings it all back, doesn't it?

[points towards the drug house]
Cory: Look what you chose. God damn you.
