GWTW has a lot of good quotes. Maybe not as many as “True Grit” or “It’s A M, M, M, M, World, but few movies do.
My nominee for most quotable lines is ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales’. I cannot watch that movie enough.
You just mentioned another pair of my favorite films, haven’t watched that one in a couple of years.
Rooster Cogburn: When’s the last time you saw Ned Pepper?
Emmett Quincy: I don’t remember any Ned Pepper.
Rooster Cogburn: Short feisty fella, nervous and quick, got a messed-up lower lip.
Emmett Quincy: That don’t bring nobody to mind. A funny lip?
Rooster Cogburn: Wasn’t always like that, I shot him in it.
Emmett Quincy: In the lower lip? What was you aiming at?
Rooster Cogburn: His upper lip.
Sylvester Marcus: [into a phone] Mama, who’s with you? Where are you talking to me... Where are you?
Mrs. Marcus: [into the phone] I’m with this truck driver at Peterson’s garage in a place called Plaster City. And will you just shut up a minute so I can tell you what happened!
Sylvester Marcus: Now listen, Mommy, you listen to me close. You stay right there, because I’m coming, Mom. I’m coming to get you right now, Mom.
Mrs. Marcus: Will you SHUT UP AND LISTEN?
Sylvester Marcus: Mama, it’s all right. Everything’s gonna be all right, Mama. Your baby’s coming to get ya. You just sit there. Sit there, relax, take it easy.
Mrs. Marcus: [On the phone and the camera’s still on Sylvester] Sylvester...
Sylvester Marcus: I’m coming to get you, Mom!
Mrs. Marcus: [On the phone and the camera’s still on Sylvester] ... shut up and let me talk...
Sylvester Marcus: [At the same time, while Mrs. Marcus is speaking] Everything is gonna be all right!
[Hangs up]
Lennie Pike: Well?
Mrs. Marcus: So he’s coming here. And I’m not to worry about a thing, because “everything is going to be all right!”
Mrs. Marcus: [to Emmeline] Exactly like your father: a big, stupid, muscle-headed moron!
