Gregg Henry: Brigham Young

Quotes 

• Eva : I thought I'd have myself a nice Mormon husband when I was grown. A family of sister wives, and, uh... I thought I'd spend every Sunday in the Temple, listening to the Lion of the Lord preach the Word. I thought I'd spend my whole life spittin' distance from you.

  Brigham Young : You would have been very welcome in Zion, child.

  Eva : Yeah, well, instead I got this marked up face, little bit of Indian magic, and a brothel full of whores.

  Brigham Young : Mmm-mmm. Mmm-mmm. You're still Mormon.

  Eva : Jack.

  Brigham Young : It's never too late... to return to the fold and be forgiven, my child. Heavenly Father's loving embrace awaits us all. We have only to accept it.

  [softly] 

  Brigham Young : I will pray for you.

• Louise Ellison : Now, what is your interest in the railroad, Mr. Young?

  Brigham Young : The interest is not mine, madam, but Heavenly Father's. I'm His instrument in this, as in everything.

  Louise Ellison : Uh, so, uh, God wants a railroad?

• Brigham Young : Lay one track north of Salt Lake, and you'll learn why they call me the Lion of the Lord. I've defeated the United States Army. I'd damn sure make short work of you. I'm going home. I'm weary of gentile serpents and their honey-lipped harlots.

  [walks out] 

  Maggie Palmer : Well, I believe that man just called me a "honey-lipped harlot."

  Thomas 'Doc' Durant : I believe he just called you *my* "honey-lipped harlot."
