John Wayne: "That's the stuff that dreams are made of."

Right before Richard Boone opens the trunk and finds not $1,000,000, but cut up newspaper, and realizes the ransom drop just got a lot more complicated as Wayne levels a shotgun at him.

Damn, I love that film.

No single movie line has achieved anything like the vast swath of female swoonage that this one has.
Have to say, I think "You complete me" trumps that one.
