When you've smoked you'll come outside, yes? Mrs Weldon, don't talk to me like you don't know who I am. I'll be outside.

This is Rico. Buffalo Bill gave him to me. He's a circus horse. It'd be just like sitting on a chair. When you click your tongue … he paws the ground. When he hears a gunshot … he dances.

Caroline Weldon (born Susanna Karolina Faesch; December 4, 1844 – March 15, 1921) was a Swiss-American artist and activist with the National Indian Defense Association. Weldon became a confidante and the personal secretary to the Lakota Sioux Indian leader Sitting Bull during the time when Plains Indians had adopted the Ghost Dance movement. Via Wikipedia
