Well, I certain do hope this survives for next year’s list.

It is a classic reminder of liberal inadequacy devolving down to a plea for coconspirator leniency in the face of abject incompetence and inability to think of more lies.

"I'm your Huckleberry." -or-

"I have two guns. One for each of yuh."

-Doc Holliday, "Tombstone".

Got to be one of the top westerns put to film. Certainly the best in the past 20 years or so.

Anything from A Man For All Seasons but particularly this one:

William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!

Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
