Pat Garret is described somewhere as "The man who made Billy the Kid 21 forever". I like that line.
In the great movie "Ulzana's Raid" (written by a Scot, as Malc told us) Burt Lancaster plays an ageing scout who has to guide a fresh cavalry lieutenant in pusuit of an Apache raiding party. At one stage, this green lieutenant is desperate to take up the pursuit of the hostiles. Lancaster says quietly " An Apache rides his horse till it falls down. He lights a fire under it and gets it going again. Next time it falls down, he shoots it, eats a bit of it and steals another one. Ain't no way we're gonna beat that." I may not have quoted that exactly but it's another cracking line.
Any others? (And I realise my hopes lie mainly with Malc here.)

Didn't Horace once say "Does anyone remember where I parked my horsie?"
Maybe I dreamt it.
-
I don't think I did say that, Peeps. I wish I HAD!

It's a line that could only belong to Horace. Take it, it's yours!

Here's a few of my favourite Granny quotes:
"Son, you've got three things hidden under that hat of yours... the ace of clubs, the ace of hearts and a brain the size of a lentil"
"Let me give you a word of advice: any ace coming down that sleeve of yours is going to meet a bullet on the way up"
"Get me a glass of water son. I like something to keep my teeth in when I hit the bourbon"
"He's always had a thing about slim blondes. You're the first fat one"
"So tell me, Kitty, do you have any hobbies? Though I suppose trying to look like a bulldog frog being sick takes up a lot of your time"
;D ;D ;D

Thanks for that, Tom. I've always enjoyed writing Granny. I think I'm influenced by those great Western lines I was talking about. I apologise for sounding vain but there was a Granny/Jesse James set-up I think worked well...
Granny at bar and and tough guy muscles in.
"Move it, Granny---I'm Jesse James."
"Son, you've got a big mouth and a girlie name---neither of which stops a knee in the groin."
Apologies again for the vanity but, dammit, I liked that!
-
;D ;D ;D
"Pass 'em off at the head!"
I never understood that one.
-
Get off my foot Trigger!
-
I always liked Horace's question: "Is that the one next to the Hairdresser's?"
-
Clint Eastwood: My mule gets he crazy idea you're laughing at him. If you apologise, like I know you're going to.....

Back to Ulzana's Raid.
I don't know if Alan Sharp really DID understand the Apache Indian mindset, but like all great writers he made it sound like he did. He presented native Americans in a new light - yes, still savage, but with a cultural angle- "Hatin' the Apache for their cruelty is like hatin' the desert because there ain't any water in it."
Or something like that.
Lt. DeBuin: Why didn't they kill the boy?
Ke-Ni-Tay: Man cannot take power from boy... only man.
-
For me it has to be from True Grit, especially being a one eyed fat man myself.
"I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned, or see you hang in Ft. Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be?"
"I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man."
"Fill your hand, you sonofabitch!" ;D
-
"Excuse me, Mr Bull, or may I call you "Sitting"?" "Would you mind putting that pipe-of-peace out as we now have a smoking ba.." "Now that wasn't very clever". "No-one likes having a tomahawk in the head, and furthermore, under current legislation, it could easily be classified as an offensive weap..... arghhhhh!"

I get the feeling you're not taking this very seriously, Nige. (John Wayne: Rio Bravo).

But I won't. I won't.
Like Hell I won't!

Going back to The Peepmaster's mention of "parking his horsie", why do we "PARK" a car? Why "CAR PARK"? Why not "CAR MEADOW"? Who first coined this and why? I suppose I could look this up but I can't be bothered.

In my student days, when my team, Wolves had players called Willie Carr and Derek Parkin on the books, I once asked another of the players, Steve Kindon, whether the club had Carr-Parkin facilities. I think he groaned.
-
I know I did.
-
Perhaps the place used to be a park before it was concreted over. I can't be bothered to look it up either.
-
I think it's a backward krap question.
-
Maybe it's an acronym (from someone who can't spell): Peepmaster Always Recks Kars

Poopmaster I was right if you team is Wolves
You will loose at least two matches this year.

Another of my all-time favourite films, Peter.

I seem to remember a line in a film I was watching as a teenager in Ramsgate. (I think it was at the Odeon, rather than the Kings across the road). I don't remember the dialogue word for word, but it went along the lines of: "Why not finish the evening in style at the Koh I Nor Restaurant, 15, High Street, Ramsgate".

If it was Kings aCross it could not be Ramsgate

Are you saying that this line from the film spent its teenage years in Ramsgate?
-

Peter, I'm impressed. Not only do you do spelling mistakes with great aplomb, but you've also mastered the art of reading mistakes.

Yes, up until it was 19, when it then relocated to Bromsgrove.

'Reading mistakes' is a hereditary condition.

Or even an hereditary condition.

Actually, it did make the mistake of stopping overnight at Reading on its way to Bromsgrove.

I have not had aplum for ages.
Years since I had a Greengage.
