I watched the 1973 western Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (2005 version) last night. Bob Dylan plays a knife carrying outlaw in the film.
One of my favorite Peckinpah films. Classic scenes abound. And what a cast!
Bounty hunter: “What’s your name, boy?”
Dylan: Alias.
Bounty hunter: Alias what?
Dylan: Alias anything you please.
Bounty hunter: Then what do I call you?
Dylan: Alias!
Fellow member of Billy’s gang: Hell, just call him Alias.
Dylan: That’s what I’d do.
Bounty hunter: Alright, Alias it is.
...and then Billy (Kris Kristofferson) proceeds to tell a story about a mean, drunk old guy by the name of “U.S. Christmas” just before his gang kills every last bounty hunter. “Alias” took one of ‘em out with a knife throw through the neck.
