Another contender for 'best line in the movie'


I would like to draw your attention to James Coburn's quip, as 5 or 6 dancehall gals are undressing him in a room above the saloon. As they try to wrestle him our of his "drawers", he says "Pull hard. They've been on a long time".

Nah, the best ain't even on the site. It's when Garret asks Alias: "Who the hell are you?"

And Alias replies: "That's a good question."

"There ain't no devil, it's just God when he's drunk"

reply

Billy
"Whatya takin' me in for?"

Garrett
"Which one was that?"

Bell
"Buckshot Roberts"

Garrett
"FOR THE KILLIN' OF BUCKSHOT ROBERTS"

Billy
"Hell, that was a year ago.....i shot him straight up!"
"Come on in Pat, I'll warm ya breakfast"

Genius !!

Keep The Change Bob.

"The Maestro says its Mozart, when it sounds like bubblegum."

"That wasn't 10 Hoss." Billy says it to Jack Elam after cheating at a duel before Elam's character could cheat him.

There are no more friendly civilians, sir.

I would just like to add... King Crimson kicks ass.

Movies on IMDB are not overrated, you're just of the minority that doesn't bloody LIKE THEM!

reply

EVERYBODY'S wrong! The best line is from Chil Wills: "You just made me have
a bowel movement in my britches, Garrett. I ain't never goin' to forgive you
for that."

"I gotta shotgun filled with sixteen thin dimes, 'nough to spread you out like a crazy lady's quilt, so repent you son of a BITCH!"

Jut because it leads to the MOST brilliant piece of dialogue in the movie:

"I'll give you a buck sixty's worth o' change if you go dig it outta Bob there."

Chill Wills and the whole ass like a 40$ cow line is hilarious.

reply

I'm going to go with Chill Wills' "A gal Bertha come in from Kansas City. She got an ass on her like a forty dollar cow 'n' she got a tit - why I wish it were full of tequila. You can't beat that no how."

The delivery was perfect.

Bob Olinger to Billy:"I'll take you for a walk through Hell on a spiderweb!"

reply

"yeah..well..adios" Pat Garret

"Beans... baked beans. Lima beans. Ham, beans" Alias

reply

that's a good one, but I like Gate's line, after his cock's been killed fighting, and he's knocked down by Garrett's horse: "Now what the ****." Only on the Turner cut.
