Favorite quotes! So, whatcha got?

Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood): "Where'd you ever get an idea like that? Besides it ain't supposed to be easy to sneak up behind an Indian."

Lone Watie (Chief Dan George): "I'm an Indian, all right, but here in the nation they call us the "civilized tribe". They call us "civilized" because we're easy to sneak up on. White men have been sneaking up on us for years."

Yep, and General Jack Ripper.

When I served aboard the USS Coral Sea, the ships captain, "Bull" Taylor, used to get on the 1MC and give us long, rambling diatribes about ".....fearless, seagoing warriors, patriots and hard-charging defenders of Americas freckle-faced, innocent children from the dark, sinister forces of creeping, Godless Communism......", etc., etc., etc..........

I remember a shipmate turning to me one day and saying, "Holy S**t......I just needed a f**king job."
