Mine is:
Walter Brennan: Deputy, last week he was shoveling horse sh.. he was working in the stables
DO YOU FEEL LUCKY, PUNK?
How 'bout..... "well I already shot one hole in yer roof".
"Man-O-War started rattlin' yesterday and threw a kid on its head".
Garner evaluating Elam's marksmanship after a shootout in the saloon -
JASON: "I figure those bullets went in about that far apart...pretty sloppy shootin', Jake.
JAKE: "Well, I was tryin' to save your life; I wasn't worried about groupin' my shots!"
Poe! You are...avenged!
Pa: This is my saddle and I'm takin' it.
Jake: Well I know it aint mine so go ahead.
"Man-O-War started rattlin' yesterday and threw a kid on its head".
And right after that;
Jake: What were they tryin' to do, bust you out of here?
Joe: Yeah. But you know Pa. He's got a heart as big as the whole outdoors. But he don't have one brain in his poor old head.
Old Man Danby: Why do you say it was murder when he says it weren't?
Sheriff: I was standing right there when he did it.
Old Man Danby: Well! That were real smart of him, wasn't it?
Sheriff: You know, I've been watching Joe all afternoon and I haven't seen him do one smart thing yet.
Bartender: You heard the sheriff. No more shooting 'til the sun goes down!
Customer: Is that what he said?
Bartender: It's close enough brother.
"You keep on practising while I put Joe back in jail."
shareGreat quote, but it really needs the subtle visual context to give it the full effect.
Where, just before the quote, if you're watching closely, you can see Joe Danby sneaking away...
Trust me, anyone who is reading these quotes and hasn't seen the film yet, you REALLY need to see it for full effect! Just buy it, rent it, whatever. But please see this film for a series of real belly-laughs.
All of these quotes work best after you're familiar with all of the marvelous characters.
But I suspect most of us are here because we HAVE seen the film, and want to re-live those moments. So thanks everyone for posting these. I've been reading them all with a huge smile on my face.
When harry morgan tells james. Garner that his daughter takes after her dear departed mother, and garner says 'oh your wife died?' And morgans says 'nope, she just departed.'
