Hondo

"Varlabania." It means "forever." Forever

Hondo 1953
Hondo Lane:

Before I go, I wanna explain somethin'. Angie Lowe:
Yes? Hondo Lane:
It didn't happen in the low way you heard it. I didn't bushwack him Angie Lowe:
I never for a moment thought you did, but you've killed him. Hondo Lane:
I didn't have any choice. He cut loose at me. Angie Lowe:
I should have known that. I should have known you were lying to make me think well of you. Poor Ed. I guess he wasn't the sort of man to die well. Sorry now I hated him so much. I guess he couldn't help being weak and selfish. Hondo Lane:
I just didn't have any choice. Angie Lowe:
I know that. Hondo Lane:
Are you going to feel differently about me? Angie Lowe:
No one has any control over the way they feel. I'm never going to change the way I feel about you. But, well what about him? Hondo Lane:
Yeah. I guess there's some things that just can't... He's gonna be a good man. Good spread to his shoulders. Head works, too. The other night after you went to sleep, he crawled up into my bunk and put his arms around my neck. Made me feel kind of funny, like he was dependent on me. A lot of things I'd rather do than this. Angie Lowe:
You're going to tell him? Hondo Lane:
If I don't, somebody else will. And I got a belly full of lies. Angie Lowe:
No! Your ranch in California: it's too far for gossip to travel. You and your silly ideals. You think truth is the most important thing. Hondo Lane:
It's the measure of a man. Angie Lowe:
Well, not for a woman. A man can afford to have noble sentiments and poses, but a woman only has the man she married. That's her truth. And if he's no good, that's still her truth. I married a man who was a liar, a thief and a coward. He was a drunkard and unfaithful. He only married me to get this ranch and then he deserted Johnny and me for good. And that's your fine truth for you. Could I bring Johnny up on that? Hondo Lane:
Well, I guess you couldn't. Angie Lowe:
And then you come along and you're good and fine and everything that Ed could never hope to be. And now in your vanity, you want to spoil Johnny's chances and mine. [she starts to cry] Hondo Lane:
Varlabania. Angie Lowe:
What? Hondo Lane:
When the Indians finish up their squaw-seekin' ceremony, they only say one thing: "Varlabania." It means "forever." Forever
