Favorite John Wayne Quotes

Dan Trabue is paying tribute to actor John Wayne by listing some of his best lines. And he's asking readers to submit their favorite John Wayne quotes. Here's one of mine from El Dorado (1966), when the Duke played gunfighter Cole Thornton:


Cole: Did you get him?
Mississippi: Who?
Cole: The fella that ran outta the church!
Mississippi: Well, yes and no.
Cole: Yes and no? Did you or didn't you?
Mississippi: I hit the sign, and the sign hit him.
Cole: Well, that's great.
Mississippi: He was limping when he left!
Cole: He was limping when he got here!


Admittedly, Dan has a better selection, as he chose from the Rooster Cogburn movies. These movies have less action, but more character.

Thanks for the link!

Here's another favorite (and oft-quoted) line from McClintock:

I know I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in 40 years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this monring, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth.

But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't!
[Belts man in the mouth]
