Has there ever been a more quotable film?
When Sheriff Bart and Jim first meet and Jim is in jail guzzling a bottle of whiskey first thing in the morning: Bart – Man that drinks like that’s gonna die! Jim – When? And later when they are getting to know each other a bit: Bart – Well, Jim, what do you like to do? Jim – Play chess, screw . . . Bart – Well, let’s play chess! You could almost post the entire script! Here are a few more faves: We damn near lost a four hundred dollar hand car! What a nice guy! Pitter baby You Teutonic twat! . . . And always too soon Gabby Johnson’s right! And there is an perfect example of authentic frontier gibberish! Work-work-work –hello boys, haven’t seen you all day! I could go on forever with this movie!
