'The Waiting Room': The best line...?


In the western episode "The Waiting Room," one of the gunfighters says to "Lord of the gun" Dichter [sp?]:

"For twenty dollars, I risked and took a life...a cheap morning all around."

With the frequently pointless violence in America's inner cities -- and the world, for that matter -- that line sadly has resonance.

There was a line that confused me when I was younger: When the character played by Albert Salmi is going to his gunfight, Dichter asks who's outside, he says "A fast kid." I thought he had said "A fat-ass kid."



"I'm in such bad shape, I'm wearing prescription underwear." Phyllis Diller 1917-2012

I was impressed by the anti-gun rhetoric all around ie the dopes going around as gunslingers are really cowardly nutjobs. If this episode was made today you would see the NRA and the "Tea Party" screeching about it on Fox News.
