The Outlaw Josey Wales 1976 - Best Scene (About Governments)
Youtube ^
Posted on 10/22/2015 5:57:43 PM PDT by Enlightened1
Josie Wales: “Governments don’t live together. People live together. Governments don’t give you a fair word or a fair fight. I’ve come here to give you either one. Or get either one from you… I’m saying that men can live together without butchering one another…”
A great classic movie scene all Freepers can appreciate.
Josey Wales is a former Confederate States of America fighter moving out West after the war between the States and wanted by the Union. The Calvary is in pursuit of him.
Anyway here is his conversation with the Comanches.
Find it interesting at the end of the scene the agreement between Joey Wales and the Comanches is a hand shake with blood which represents the "Life Force".
Great stuff!

Josey- “I noticed that people I take a likin’ to, ain’t around long.”
Lone Watie: I notice when you take to dislikin’ somebody, they ain’t around long neither.”

" Lone Watie: I'm an Indian, all right; but here in the nation they call us the "civilized tribe". They call us "civilized" because we're easy to sneak up on. White men have been sneaking up on us for years. "
I think I'm starting to get civilized nowadays.
To: Enlightened1
It is.
I also liked his advise in the cabin at the end about getting plain mad dog mean.

It was an excellent movie. The old Indian was funny.
When I lived in Western Kansas I happened to be in the national guard armory in Dodge City and noticed a sign on the wall. “Professional Red Legs”. I guess they were proud of it.

“It is sad the governments are chiefed by the double tongues.”
Great line, and so true.

Red Legs in the Army means artillery but it may be a double entendre

The old Indian was funny. Yes...Chief Dan George, he was excellent in "Little Big Man" also.
