Unforgiven is incorrect, There Will Be Blood is correct. Gangs of NY is correct. ---

OK, I’m going to ask for help identifying this one because I remember the scene but I can’t name the movie. I’m paraphrasing the quote from very old memory. It’s a modern country western music type setting, a bar full of colorful characters, I think Willie Nelson makes a cameo. One of the patrons, or maybe servers, is a lady of easy virtue and when someone asks her about her behavior she says… ‘cuz it’s fun. Anybody who says it isn’t is either lying or not doin’ it right.’ ---

Another of mine still hanging out there: “Well, it’s just that you get to do all the dangerous stuff, and I get to parallel park.” Another line: “So why do they call you Snake? What, do you have a long wee-wee?” ---

Nope. I thought that might be a curveball. Here’s another scene: “Very good. You have the right to remain silent. Now what else?” “Anything I say may be used against me in a court of law.” “That’s two, you’re doing great. Now what’s next?” “I have the right to an attorney. If I cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to me by the court.” “Yeah! Yeah. Now do you understand these rights you just explained to us?” “Oh yeah.” “It is such a pleasure to deal with professionals. Refreshing.” ---
