Why Don't He Write? (Director's Cut)

Dances With Wolves (1990)

This is an extended scene where Dunbar and Timmons come across an old broken down wagon and the skeleton of a man who was killed by Indians.

I do not own the copyrights to this film

[Bluemgwes]

That's some eerie foreshadowing for ya Timmons.

[Mr_Dancy_Pants]

This and "Put dat in yo book" were probably two of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a movie that was so serious.

[RoyalDog]

"Why don't he write?" LMFAO, dark humor at its finest.

[AssinnippiJack]

Back in 1990 in the theater I laughed so damn hard at this line that people were looking at me.

[Spectans]

Right back at you, Timmons, right back at you.

[robertnymand]

That was a heart wrenching seen when the Indians killed the supply man. Even though he was very crude. Last words don't hurt my mules.

[monarchist]

A few years late someone will come across the bones of Timmons

[josephmulvihill]

One of the funniest damn cinematic lines ever to exist. I dont care if it fortold Timmons death. Actually makes it eerily funnier. Hilarious.

[crispinjulius]

“Give a hoot, don’t pollute, Timmons.”

[blueeyes]

Out of all the great dialogue, I thought that this line was the best.  There have been certain situations where I've thought of this line since then.

[benjaminlucas]

Everything was a joke to Timmons, even farting. Put that in ya book, lol.

[Donnies_lil_ding_ding]

I was ten, and I was howling in the theater. Me and like two other people laughed hysterically. I embarrassed my parents. Wouldn’t be the last time.

[marioparedes]

It was a funny line, but we laugh at death to hide our fear, when Timmons saw the Indians coming after him he wasn't making jokes,

[CyclingSasquatch]

Impressive attention to detail with the scalping mark on the skull.

[hughmcaloon]

I really like the director's cut of this film. Loved the theatrical release, really love the director's cut.

[TheSwanlake]

I can watch this 1000 times I won’t get old

[drewbola]

The detail of the broken ribcage makes it more interesting.

[covand]

If Timmons knew he was going to suffer the same fate as that man, he wouldn't be laughing

[MarieBryant-wgzq]

I still use this quote all the time, for instance when my husband is waylaid by a chatty friend and I call to see what's taking so long 😂.

[pac]

Funny thing is, Dunbar says the same line later in the movie when he sees Two Socks for the first time in a while when he comes back to the soldier fort.
