- Perry: Mr. Koontz, I don't think you understand me. Let me clear: I'm accustomed to getting what I want. I want that bear!
- Jessie Barnes: My guess is, he's out shooting the rapids, or wrestling a grizzly bear. You know, just being that Alaskan mountain man we know and love.
- Perry: These young people, they... they were brought up on MTV and video games. They know nothing of the real world. They can't conceive of the true brutality of nature.
- Jake Barnes: What's that? It's either a polar bear or the whitest dog I've ever seen.
- Sean Barnes: It's a dog. Can I keep him?
- Ben: When I was a boy, you had to hunt a bear with just a spear, and you took his spirit or died trying.
- Charlie: Nice landing, Jake, that's a stiff cross wind.
- Jake Barnes: Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
- Charlie: I bet you didn't say that when you were flying 747s for a living...
- Jake Barnes: Yeah, I could say anything I wanted, as long as I didn't spill any drinks in first class.
- Jessie Barnes: [she and Sean are coming ashore after flipping their kayak in the cold water] This is great. Really great.
- Sean Barnes: I'm gonna freeze to death.
- Jessie Barnes: So whats the big deal? We'll make a fire.
- Sean Barnes: Good. I hope you brought the matches.
- Jessie Barnes: I can't believe you're dumb enough to forget the matches!
- Sean Barnes: What do you wanna do, Pocahantas? Rub sticks together?
