I'd start in with all of my most favorite DEADWOOD quotes, but they aint fit fer' mixed company. |
dglennjr | 04 Sep 2012 6:23 p.m. PST |
"Unforgiven" (1) Fatty Rossiter: It was already loaded. Jesus, Clyde, you have three pistols and you only have one arm for Christ's sake. Clyde: Well I just don't want to be killed for lack of shootin' back. (2) Little Bill Daggett: You just shot an unarmed man. Bill Munny: He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend. link David G. |

Okay, what a great response. Yes, my first post is from Ride the High Country, which I believe is one of the best westerns ever made. Also, in that movie is Warren Oates line: "What do you want old man?" Oates interjecting: "He wants a shovel and six feet of dirt!" |

Okay, and the best response so far: Anytime Jack Elam says something when he's looking at Ohio and Connecticut at the same time! Cmon, that's just %**^ funny! |

"Kid, bein' a cowboy is what you do when you can't do nothin' else." "There ain't nothin' but tame indians around here." "Well, stir 'em up!" "How?" "Break a treaty
speak with forked tongue
how the hell should I know, I never started an uprising before!" "I gotta steal something from you. Never stop a man fer robbin' unless you take something. It's the Code o' the West." "No ranger retires perpendicularly." "Ain't nothin' like fried chicken when it's hot 'n crispy. So the quicker you open that safe and give us the money, the quicker you can get back to that tasty-lookin' chicken." "How good are you on a horse?" "Good as the next man." "You ain't heard the conditions. You ride this bronc with yer hands tied and yer head in this noose." "My idea of a nine-to-five job is nine men robbin' five men." "I learned a valuable lesson today. Never trust a pretty girl or a lonely midget." "Looking back, we had – in the person of Teddy Roosevelt – the finest President in the history of this country. He had the spirit and determination that matched the times and the land. Then the women got the vote, an' everything went to hell." "You call that justice?" "Justice is the handmaiden of the law." "You said the law was the handmaiden of justice!" "Works both ways." |

Almost forgot: "We can't rob a train
we're rustlers!" "Well, if people didn't try something new, there wouldn't be hardly any progress at all." |

Slight thread diversion: there's a quirky little amateur Western on Youtube: YouTube link Which contains this priceless exchange: "I think in the last seven years of us working at Tavo's ranch, you haven't said more'n three words to me." "Til this morning, I've said exactly sixteen sentences to you." "Y'bin keepin' track?" "Yup. One, Nice t'meet you, Two, Don'touch m'things. Three, stop snorin', Four, Those ain't beans, Five, Careful with that brandin' iron, Six, Do that agin, I'll take a knife t'yer gullet, Seven, Stop yer goldarn snorin' Eight, If that's how yer gon' put out the campfire, yer gon' need drink a lot more coffee. Nine, Stop tryin' t'milk that bull. Ten, No, I don't know what time it is. Eleven, Watch out fer th' stampede. Twelve, Please pass the port. Thirteen, Sump'n musta died in here. Fourteen, Stop yer snorin', fer the love o'God. Fifteen, I am so
woefully
low. Sixteen, Quit hoggin' the covers." (pause) "I snore?" "A bit." |

Yes, my first post is from Ride the High Country, which I believe is one of the best westerns ever made. I absolutely agree with that statement. One of Peckinpah's best, and sadly overlooked by most Western fans today. The final scene, as Joel McCrae sinks down out of frame – beautiful! |

"Works both ways."--Judge Roy Bean I had forgotten that one. Thanks for sharing. |

Heh! You're welcome! That movie's got some great dialogue. I thought most of mine were from pretty well-known movies, so either didn't need naming, or would be fun to rack your brains over. |
Private Matter | 11 Sep 2012 10:04 a.m. PST |
Its not from a western but my all time favorite movie line is from "The Truth About Cats & Dogs": "It's nothing that a tall building and an AK-47 wouldn't solve." |

From "The Cowboys" Jebediah Nightlinger: )[praying to God before he's about to hanged by Asa Watts and his gang] I regret trifling with married women. I'm thoroughly ashamed at cheating at cards. I deplore my occasional departures from the truth. Forgive me for taking your name in vain, my Saturday drunkenness, my Sunday sloth. Above all, forgive me for the men I've killed in anger [eyes shifting to Asa Watts] Jebediah Nightlinger:
and those I am about to. |

And from "Stagecoach"(1939) Thomas Mitchell (Doc Boone) facing down the bad guy who's about to dry gulch the Ringo Kid: Dr. Josiah Boone: I'll take that shotgun, Luke. Luke Plummer: You'll take it in the belly if you don't get out of my way. Dr. Josiah Boone: I'll have you indicted for murder if you step outside with that shotgun. Luke Plummer: [throws the shotgun on the bar] We'll attend to you later. Dr. Josiah Boone: [to bartender after Plummer leaves] Don't ever let me do that again. |

"Nothing like a good piece of hickory." Pale Rider Megan Wheeler: [Reading from the Book of Revelation] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth beast said: "Come and see." And I looked, and behold a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was Death. [the Preacher rides up on his pale horse] Megan Wheeler: And Hell followed with him. Pale Rider Cobb: We're gonna give you a fair trial, followed by a first class hanging. Silverado Lomax: You caused me a lot of embarrassment! You're the only man I shot, that I didn't kill.

Clint Eastwood – Unforgiven All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down. Jeremiah Johnson (finds Del Gue buried up to his neck) Jeremiah: The Injuns put you here? Del Gue: Tweren't Mormons. |

"..and on my worst day I could be the livin hell out of you!" John Wayne to Bruce Dern (The Cowboys 1972) This line is as applicable today as back then. However, if you use this line you must be prepared to get shot six times after..oh yeh
then die
popularity sucks sometimes. |
