This chapter's epigraph comes from a line from the play's first chapter, "The Night of the Hunter." It's a line about a hunter who's been hunted down by another hunter's tribe, and the hunter asks the hunter if he's still alive. The hunter replies that he is, and that he just happened to pass through the bar where the fight is taking place. He tells the hunter that he will be leaving the next day, and then the hunter agrees to fight with him.
