The Indians (who gauge their reputation by the strength of their enemies) grow to view Jeremiah as the ultimate challenge, creating many violent encounters.

Who said they were friends?
"Friends come and go but enemies accumulate."---Daffy Duck

Bear Claw said he was lucky they were not Apache. The apache would have come on him in mass. Jerimiah was a hell of a man. If you are going to have an enemy you can't do better then The Crow.

I love my enemies.

You ever get lonesome?

Jeremiah Johnson: Y'ever get lonesome?

Bear Claw : Fer what?

Jeremiah Johnson: Woman?

Bear Claw:
Full time night woman? I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads. I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it.
