It’s been way too long for me to be able to give accurate quotes, but the Brando-directed One Eyed Jacks had dozens of quotable lines in it. I hope somebody else can flesh out the actual lines, but I’ll paraphrase at least.
Guy #1: That fella that just walked in is Rio.
Guy#2: That ain’t Rio.
Guy #1: Well I wouldn’t want to gamble me a handful of brains over it.
Girl: Rio, you don’t have any reason to kill Dad.
Rio: Reason? Reasons? I got 17 hundred and eight. That’s how many days I spent rotting my guts out in that pen down in Sonora. Don’t talk to me about reasons.
Rio (to Lon): Git up you big tubba guts.
Rio (to one of his gang): Git up, you scum-sucking pig. You mention her name one more time and I’m gonna tear your arms out.
I feel the need to rent that from Netflix now.

Some great lines; you can probably buy it cheaper than you can rent it; I can only assume it isn’t copyright protected because there must be 10 different editions out there and they are all pretty cheap.
For a flop of a movie D.C. Cab actually had several good lines. Some others:
Tyrone: Where to?
Angel of Death: I am the Angel of Death. Take me to hell.
Tyrone: Got any luggage?
Dell: Bruce Lee ain’t dead you know. They got him frozen in carbonite down under Chatsworth. They’re gonna melt him down as soon as the economy gets better.
FBI Chief: Did Albert ever discuss his political convictions with you?
Dell: Albert don’t have no political convictions. He’s an American!

Good to know. I’ll probably wait for Encore Westerns to bring it along. I see no mention of it in the lookahead search for titles that normally extends several weeks ahead. But, no worry, once they get it on their schedule it will be there for months! I can’t believe they’re running episodes of Bat Masterson and The Rifleman.
I did think to go to IMDb for more quotes and see that my memory’s not all that bad.

The best part of the movie, in my opinion. (Second best- seeing a young Lucille Ball as a secretary.) It wasn’t written for the Marxes, and it shows.

It’s a pretty funny movie – it’s just not a funny Marx Brothers movie. It would have worked well with anyone else, though, and you can enjoy it if you get past the fact that it’s the Marxes.
Even better: “If God could do the things we do, he’d be a happy man.”
And, of course there is THE LINE from Shark Attack 3: Meglodon. Anyone who’s seen the movie (really awful otherwise) knows what line I mean. Anyone who’s rented the video has stopped as soon as they heard it and gone back to see if they really heard what they heard. I can’t post it here, but seach for the film on Youtube and see what comes up.
Eli Wallach, as the bandit chieftain Calvera, had a great line in *The Magnificent Seven * Explaining why he plundered the small villages of Mexico and left their inhabitants destitute:
“If God had not meant for them to be shorn he would not have made them sheep.”
Yes, but I’m annoyed at how they did it. Aftyer repeating this damned line over and over during the film as “He’d KILL us if he got the chance.”, for the lasst reading they pretty obviously re-recordfed it as
“He’d kill US if he got the chance.”
Re-recording it is cheatin’, in my book. The difference could’ve been emphasized in other ways.
Buddy (Kevin Spacey): What, your job is unfair to you? Grow up, way it goes. People use you? Life’s unfair? Grow up, way it goes. Your girlfriend doesn’t love you? Tough shit, way it goes. Your wife gets raped and shot, and they leave their unfinished beers… their… their stinking longnecks just lying there on the gr - So be it. Way it goes. This is the only way that you can hope to survive. Because life… is not a movie. Everyone lies. Good guys lose. And love… does not conquer all.
