FAMOUS LINES FROM WESTERN MOVIES

The deathless quotes, below, are found at least once in every Western movie ever made. And I could always depend on them loafers in front of the saloon to make fun of the Kid's boots two, three times.

Course when they did that he always knocked 'em in the horse trough. They never learn.

Here goes some famous old lines of dialog.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FIRST OLD TIMER: Say! I just seen that new ribbon clerk out in the alley strappin' on both guns!

SECOND OLD TIMER: You sure? Why, Ace Hanlon and his owlhoot gang will shoot that greenhorn to rags!
===============================


FIDDLEFOOT: I'm sorry Miss Simpson, but when my feet get to itchin' like this, I get a hankerin to find out what's on t'other side of the mountain, and I just plain got to light a shuck and go see.

MISS SIMPSON: Will you return to us one day, Clint? We all love you so, since you saved our old homestead and slapped the face of that filthy-minded yahoo who dared to swat me on the butt!

FIDDLEFOOT: Why shore, Miss Simpson. In five or ten years when my wanderin' days are over I'll prob'ly come driftin' back into town and bring you a pretty!
===============================


DIAMOND LIL (to Clint): You know what you are? Just trash -- a saddle tramp! I seen your kind in this high class establishment of mine a hundred times -- trail dust in your ears, a worn out six-gun on your hip, and six bits in your pocket. And now you wanta go upstairs with one of my girls? I don't think so!
===============================


TEXAS KID: One day, Miss Lily, folks will build a shining city out here in this wilderness. We'll have a school, a gen'ral store -- maybe even a billiard parlor! And decent men like me will be able to walk these streets unchallenged by every gunslinging young hellion who thinks he's quick on the draw!

MISS LILY: Oh Kid, I'm so afraid that one day a fast gun will show up quicker'n you. You'll be layin' out in the street all wrapped up in white linen, deader'n hell!

TEXAS KID: Don't you worry about that virtual impossibility!
===============================

KID VINCE: You go for that gun and I'll kill ya!
===============================

I'm sendin you home to your Mom in a box, Kid.
===============================

I tell ya, I only heard one shot --- like one long roar -- but when Black Bart went down kickin' in the dirt he had his gun in his hand and three holes in his Bull Durham tag. The Kid was fast, real fast!
===============================

Mr. Calhoun, I know you're a big important cattleman around these parts, but you tell your man there to quit trying to side-step his hoss around behind me or a couple of you are going down kickin' in the dirt real quick, and you'll be first!
===============================

QUIRT: Where am I? (groan!) How long I been layin here in this bed?
CLEMENTINE; Three days, Kid. Here, take a spoonful of this broth.
QUIRT: (Lifts the covers) Hey! Where's my boots? Who undressed me?
CLEMENTINE: There was no one else. I had to do it myself. I've lived alone in this cabin ever since Ace Hanlon and his gang killed my grandpap, set fire to the barn, shot my night horse, and dragged my clean chemise through the mud.

Boy those were some great lines, I tell ya!
