Top 10 Quotes: "Young Guns II"

This was another popular post from the blog's previous incarnations:

1. Billy: I'll make ya famous!

2. (Chavez has just recited one of Doc's poems)
Doc: I never wrote that. I always meant to tell ya. William Shakespeare wrote it.

3. Arkansas Dave: (says variations of this line throughout the movie) You do know who I am, don't ya? I'm Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh. Ever hear of me? I killed 65 men, not countin' Mexicans and Indians.

4. Brushy Bill Roberts: I had small hands and big wrists and that has saved my life more times than Colonel Colt's Equalizer.

5. Jane: Patrick, I'm gonna part with a nasty secret. You used to make me hotter than a June bride sittin' bareback on a depot stove. But I don't share my bed with the law.
Garrett: And I don't keep with whores no more. So ain't we both content?

6. Chavez: (about Billy) The villagers say he's diablero, can change into a coyote, disappear, never gets killed. Me? I just think he's the luckiest white-eye in New Mexico.

7. Garrett: I've shot everything in the world 'cept you and you still wouldn't go below. This hurts, Kid, but I'm in a place I can't get out of.

8. Tom: What's "scum"?
Billy: Well, Tom, that's bad types. Politicians, bankers, cattle kings...scum.

9. Ash: Garrett! Get me off this animal! I have to have a movement!

10. Doc: You rode a 15-year-old boy straight into his grave and the rest of us straight to hell. Straight to hell. William H. Bonney, you...are not...a god.
Billy: Why don't you pull the trigger and find out?

Top 10 Quotes: "Young Guns"

This is was one of my most popular posts on my original blogs, so it seems fitting that I repost it. These quotes are in no particular order of awesomeness:


1. Dirty Steve: Did you see the size of that chicken?

2. Billy: See, if you got three or four good pals, why, then you got yourself a tribe. There ain't nothin' stronger than that.

3. Chavez: Many nights, my friend...many nights, I held a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're all right.

4. John Tunstall: We're congregated here to learn to read and write. You'll need more than skill with a firearm to succeed in the new world, Billy.

5. Billy: You have to test yourself every day, gentlemen. Once you stop testin' yourself, you get slow. And when that happens, they kill you.

6. Dirty Steve: (repeatedly about Billy) He ain't all there, is he?

7. Charley: You sent a lamb into the slaughter and he walked out a king sheep.

8. Doc: Trouble? You think I look like trouble? I'm a poet, carrying flowers, of all things.

9. Billy: Reap the whirlwind, Sheriff Brady. Reap it!

10. Charley: We work for Mr. Tunstall as regulators. We regulate any stealin' of his property and we're damn good, too. Mr. Tunstall's got a soft spot for runaways, derelicts, vagrant types. But you can't be any geek off the street. Gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean. Earn your keep.

Overhaul Notice

This blog was once called "Cinema Passion" and penned under the screenname Aspiring Ebert. Because of college classes etc., I woefully neglected that blog for almost two years so I decided to start completely from scratch under its current name. I tried blogging on tumblr, but it wasn't the same at all. I missed the more interactive nature of Blogger.

Once again, life happened and my blog fell by the wayside. They say the third time is the charm and I'm determined to make it work this time.

I will be redoing my most popular old postings as well writing new things. The pop culture content and my snarky commentary will not change.

Happy reading!
