Alvin Straight: You don't think about getting old when you're young... you shouldn't.
I really love this quote and how he says it in the movie....it's really true and displays Straights character nicely!!!
I can't remember the line exactly, but Alvin talking about his buddies from WW2 said the more time he gets, the less they ever had. So simple, eloquent and filled with pathos.
I'm a fountain of bloodshare
In the shape of a girl
"And the thing is, the more years
I have, the more they've lost."
Yes, this is the best line in the movie.
Did you hear me hollerin' for Rose?
shareWhat do you need that grabber for, Alvin?
Grabbin'.
~I'll meet you in the place where mercy leads.~
The very last word spoken . . . . . "LYLE!!"
