Elsewhere in the movie, Billy Bob Thornton's Crockett offers this remarkable line about the perils of fame. If the book Three Roads to the Alamo is correct, the line is a good guess at why Crockett might have stayed at the Alamo, even though he had just arrived in Texas.

"If it was just me, simple old David from Tennessee, I might drop over that wall some night, take my chances. But that Davy Crockett feller... they're all watchin' him."
