I woke up in intensive care one Sunday Morning, and after they pulled the tube from my throat, I looked at my wife and son and said "I got the gold right here, Josie." I thought it was a great joke. Nobody got it.
I had a patient trying to to talk with the tube. After I pulled it, his RN asked “what were you trying to say ?” He replied “I have two guns, one for each of you” the nurse looked scared but I started laughing, You’re a daisy if you do 😝
He'll be around for a few more years. But his biggest regret is a fantastic script for a Josey Wales sequel that has been sitting in the bottom lefthand drawer of his writing desk for the last 11 years and the fact it is still sitting there because at that and this time of Hollywood, nobody will let it get made. It's not very "Inclusive or Woke" and in fact, has some pretty nasty but also very real, stereotypes of how Blacks, Whites, Indians, and Chinese people acted and were treated back then. Clint won't give an inch on that script and neither will the two others responsible for writing it. And yes, I have read it. Like 5 times lol. Who knows, perhaps someday the future Clint Eastwood Legacy Estate will "Okay it" for production using a Clint Eastwood AI. My wife (one of his daughters) and I are both members of the 9-person Legacy Estate which will become a reality after Clint passes.
I also love the scene where Josie and Lone Watie had to high tail it out of that town, leaving Little Moonlight behind in so doing. And Josie reflects that that was too bad, he was starting to like her. Josie "But then it's always been like that." Lone Watie: "Like what?" Josie: "Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long." Lone Watie (amused): "I noticed when you get to DIS-likin' somebody, they ain't around long neither."
@@thomascolvin8832 I KNOW that's right, lol. Btw, even his mortal enemies had a few good lines, don't remember his name, maybe Cap'n Red Legs, last bad guy to die in the movie, if memory serves, comes to town after the "Well, you gonna DRAW them pistols or whistle DIXIE" shoot out, congently observed, "Not a hard man to track...leaves DEAD men everywhere," lol.🤣🤪😂😜
Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have. Josey Wales: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another. Ten Bears: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.
@@RalphieParker1 I have the whole scene memorized. I act it out with my homeless friend. I play Josey and he plays Ten Bears. "You be Ten Bears?" I AM Ten Bears. "I'm Jpsey Wales." I have heard. You are the grey rider. You would not make peace with the blue coats. YOU may go in peace. "I reckon not......Got nowhere to go." Then you will die! "I came here to die with you. Or to live with you. Dyin' ain't so hard for men like you and me. When everything you ever cared about has been butchered or raped, it's LIVIN' that's hard. With governments, you don't always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well,I've come here to give you either one, or get either one from you.....I came here like this, so you'll know my word of death is true, and then you'll know my word of life is also true. The Bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche,,,,and so will we. And we'll only hunt what we need to live on, same as the Comanche does. And in the spring, when the grass turns green, and the Comanche moves north. He can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle, jerk beef for the journey. The SIGN of the Comanche will be on our lodge. Those are my words of life." And your words of death? "Here in my pistols. There in your rifles. I'm here for either one." (The rest is posted in the comment above.)
so thats where my mate got this from - we've been saying this since the 90's now I know where he stole it from, he claimed it was his lol I always doubted it. thanks :)
Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.

That’s not even the best line in the movie, but it’s top 5. How about “you boys gonna pull them pistols or whistle Dixie?”, or “dyin ain’t much of a livin boy”, or “I notice when you get to dislikin someone they ain’t around long either”.
Are U the same William Munny that killed women and children. "I killed women and children and I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned."
@Emilyismysunshine Yup, Gene Hackman had just snarled, "Well, sir, you are a (something derogatoy) and a coward...You just shot an UNARMED man!" Kinda hard to argue with CE's reply, lol, especially since he was still brandishing a weapon.
My favourite Clint Eastwood line, is when he's pointing his gun at some ne'er-do-well and utters: There must be a hundred reasons not to kill you. But right now, I can't think of one of 'em.
@@clwomble There is a documentary out there, can't remember the actual name of it, of the shooting of "The Outlaw Josie Wales". A lot of mutual respect going on. Wish I could remember what it was called. Bloody good it is!
I loved how he meditated on the phrase out loud for a while, repeating it over and over, savouring it to give a flavour of his people's generation long experience of doing just that, then ended with, "so we declared war on the Union."
And also from GBE, which is a massively stronger movie, for dialog, plot, all of it: "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk." But this video doesn't even have the best line in a western, much less 500 other superior dialog movies. Pick any of 85 lines from Blazing Saddles, cheeeez.
This is my all time favorite movie. I was born and raised in Missouri. My greatest takeaway was that I’m neither a southerner nor a yankee. I’m border trash and proud of it
Old guy here. This was one of my favorite Clint Eastwood movie! Great acting and dialogue too. But the scene with Josey and Ten Bears is absolute cinema gold! “I came here to die with you or live. You see it is governments that live together, but people. Well with government you don’t always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well I’ve come to give you either one, or get either one from you.” CLASSIC!
It's got to be when 'Mr Carpetbagger' is chewing his ear off on the barge about his marvelous Elixor. He then spits tobacco juice over his white coat ''How's it with stains''.
In all of Clint's movies, his own character speaks less than every other character in his scene. Same applied to "Where Eagles Dare", in which Clint originally had lots more lines. Clint said, "Burton's got a great voice. Why don't you let Burton do all the talking and let me do all the killing".
So many top quotes in this film,,,, "I could have missed', from the old chief about when Josey chose who to shoot first, leaving the last guy for the chief.... 'hows it with stains', to the snake oil salesman... "don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining" 'you gonna pull them pistols or whistle dixie' I grew up on this movie........ funny, gripping, tells a tale, thrilling, suspense, romance, gun fights... it has it all.....
@@dhyde9207 The author of this movie was actually a member of the Ku Klux Klan, who made national headlines in the 50s for some kind of viloence threatening thing, or vilent protest....you can look it up....he did one hell of a job on this script, though.
Ask your wife or parents if you're allowed to watch Blazing Saddles. You're welcome ;) Also, do you count Tarantino? You need to check into those if you haven't, and a couple of them I consider bona fide Westerns. Same disclaimer as above, though!
@@Bill_Woo Djug Django was great. Blazing Saddles was kind of stupid, But Josey still takes the cake…..best Western, best dialogue. The Ten Bears scene really sets it apart…..
@@joemarshall4226 "Kind of stupid" - now that's funny! Most people who say that watched the sanitized censored version and don't even know what was going on though :) BTW JW doesn't even have the greatest dialog or epicness of even a Clint western. Watch GBE sometime. Tell the truth: Silverado has far more catchy lines than JW. Really, now :) Do you count Butch Cassidy as a western? Let's not, because if so, end of discussion!
"Every time I get to likin' somebody they ain't around for long." "I notice that every time you get to not likin' someone they ain't around for long either."
The best lines in my opinion are those from Chief Dan George. Dan couldn’t get his lines right and Eastwood told him to forget the lines and just speak from his heart. Everything he says are true life experiences and not made up.
@@emptyhand777 if utd play like they have against city in the fa cup and community shield whybos it a pipedream for them to do very well thid season ? I think they should try and rid themselves of ratchford he is never going to be the player he was i think hes the classic case of fame going to your head hes to interested in partys and girls .

I like in Unforgiven, when Gene Hackman is on the floor, looking up at the barrel of Clint's rifle pointed right at his head: "I don't deserve this." Clint: "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it." Not the best line, but very insightful, very true in so many situations in life.
I gotta agree with a bunch of you here, my favorite movie of all time. #2 and the rest aren't even in the same league. Eastwood is 1 of a kind in human history.
Saw Josey Wales at the tender age of 12. My brother (16) and I quoted all of these great lines on the drive home. My favorite: "Dyin' ain't much a livin', boy." First among equals.
Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have. Josey Wales: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life.

Are you Ten Bears? I am Ten Bears. I'm Josie Wales. You are the gray rider you refused to make peace with the blue coats. You may go. Fraid not. Got nowhere to go. Then, you will die. I came here to die with you. Or to live with you. Real badass!
Movies full of great lines. I like that one, which I've said not a few times. I do like his short speech at the ranch, "...When things look bad. And looks like you're not going to make, that's when you gotta get mean. I mean plum mad dog mean. Because if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live no win. That's just the way it is."
The two goons are carrying 1873 Trapdoor Springfields. I recognize them because I have one. They fire .45-70 rounds. The infantry version have a real kick to them. Custer and his men carried the carbine version at the Little Bighorn.
Awww then they are out of place, since this was supposed to be Civil War era. The pistols are right though. I myself own a Pietta Remington 1858 in .44, as well as fantasy/incorrect Pietta and San Marco 1853 Colt Navy's in .44. And the best part is I managed to find 2 tins of Remington #11 caps at the store the other day. I'm set!
Its crazy that the .45-70 round weighs 405 grains! When compared to my AR ammo of 62 grains, it makes those rounds look tiny! I've seen guys get groups of under 2 inches (at 100 yards) with the .45-70, which is insane with that heavy of a round! We need to add to the phrase "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades” with & the .45-70 round! lol
@@mrhed0nist that Mandela effect sure is messing with the things that I grew up knowing. I don't know what is real or just a figment of my immature brain. I can see some things being obviously what we abbreviated, or just made it flow, but some things just cannot be dismissed. ☮️👍😎😎🎸🎸🎸
Mr. Clint effing Eastwood ain’t never made a bad western so many classic lines from everyone we could go on and on. He’s getting up there in the age now I don’t know how much longer he’s got, but as an actor director, he will go down as a legend.
I agree.....I love "Gran Torino" and especially loved "Unforgiven"..... have you seen this one? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lj3WBxXyRB0.html
One of his old Westerns,when talking about and ex wife/lover he said "Everyone has a right to be a sucker once".I say that all the time after hearing that,followed by "thats once a day right?"
