Lonesome Dove: Favorite Line or Scene

[Incline]

Too many to list. Basically, if Gus said it I loved it.

The books are great and need to be read by everyone who loves the series.

"Shrivel your pod boys"

The saloon scene is my favorite. With all the animal mounts in the background, I think it's supposed to be The Buckhorn. Favorite line is when Clara tells Gus "Oh I never noticed you having accidents with ugly girls!"

Any man with any sense t'all can tell when it's sundown without you ringin that bell!

I will wack the bell if I want to.

Gus: I had a job waitin' tables once...on a riverboat. I wasn't no older than Newt there.

Newt;
what happened?

Gus:
I had to give it up. I was too young and pretty....and the whores....wouldn't let me alone.

Cal: newt you best get on to bed.

Gus: let the boy stay up. The only chance at an education is listening to me talk.

[Stevotary]

Gus: By God Woodrow, it's been quite a party, ain't it?


I use this one all the time:

Call: It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

some cal wisdom:
The best thing you can do with death is ride off from it.

"I like to kick a pig ever' once in a while, how would I do that? "

And pretty much that whole dialogue.

Cal: newt you best get on to bed.

Gus: let the boy stay up. The only chance at an education is listening to me talk.

"What kinda education is that?

[Drop'emChick]

"Yes, A hell of a vision!"
Last line of the movie

Awesome movie watched it this weekend with the kiddo, he's to young to remember it but he liked seeing the horses. Lol

[Drop'emChick]

Or... Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.

LOL! "I've shoot many a sassy bandits with just my pistol."

[Drop'emChick]

As a kid I watched this movie on an old VHS tape recorded off tv. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie. But I will say I watched it (DVD) LOL this weekend with my son for the 1st time.

[ShockValue]

I watched it with my kids (11 & 9) before Christmas. I can tell you that their mama thinks the word "whore" is used a few too many times for her liking. .

Now they know where Dad gets all those sayings.

[Artos]

Just for you drop'em: Welcome to the fire to you & yours...belated.


Gus McCrae: Lorie darlin', life in San Francisco, you see, is still just life. If you want any one thing too badly, it's likely to turn out to be a disappointment. The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things, like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk, or a feisty gentleman like myself.
